 OR. ROBERT E. LONG, President Or. Lon came to LTC as a green frosh in 1959 and now has assumed his role as the helmsman of our great ship. He received his A.B. in 1936, his A.M. in 1938, and his Ph.O. from Yale University in 1912. TO THE CLASS OF 1961: It is to be expected that one who is engaged, even administratively, in an educational endeavor would think highly of the profession of teacher. You will not be surprised to have me warmly commend your choice of profession. As neophytes, with “beginning competence,” you still have much to learn—indeed, you must never stop learning if you are to be successful educators. Teaching will demand much of you and will have its full measure of heartache and disappointment. Yet it will also be the most rewarding of endeavors, no matter at what level of the vast educational enterprise you may work. I salute you as members of a new generation of teachers, happy in the assurance that you may confidently expect greater recognition, greater material reward, and greater satis- factions than it has been the lot of any previous group of graduates to receive. Our affectionate good wishes go with you. 6

Dean- J. D. MESSICK You seniors are a great group. In the short time I have known you, I have come to ap- preciate your varied abilities, high aspirations, splendid personalities, and civic outlook. The foundation you have been laying provides a basis upon which you can build a super-structure of achievement which will come only as you exert tremendous effort to accomplish any worthwhile task in a satisfactory manner. Success does not come easily, and don’t expect your upward climb to be without handicap, hard- ship, and disappointment. Blue steel is not pro- duced without white heat, and this you must recognize in giving of your best. May God’s richest blessing attend your every effort in attaining the zenith of your potentiality. S. C. GALLAGHER To the class of 1961—My best wishes go with each of you. We have come to know each other well during these last four years. It is hoped that the acceptance of individuals and the respect for human dignity which we stressed here will be a part of your operating philosophy in whatever tasks you may per- form.
