JOHN F. KENNEDY Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans—born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage, and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world. These famous words were spoken by our late President, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, in his inaugural address. We, the members of the class of 1964, are part of the new generation of which he speaks. Words could never express our feelings or explain the void left by his horrible and incredible assassination. We would rather let this serve as a reminder to us of our loyalty, love, and dedication to a great man. Let us, when we look at this in the future, be reminded of his principles and ideals; and let us then renew our pledge that we will do all in our power to see them carried out in his memory. If this remembrance can serve this purpose even in a small way, and only with a few people, it will have, to us at least, served a greater purpose than any ordinary memorial ever could. 4
