TO THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1947 i Dear Friends: For four years your class has kept the Prom- ethean fire burning brightly. The flames have been fed through your search for the great truths of the ages. May I congratulate you, therefore, on the fact that from henceforth you will be dreaming, living and working with those who produce the culture which will be transmitted to the next generation. I hope that the College has stirred your poten- tialities to the depths and that the fire of intellectual curiosity may never be quenched. Very truly yours, George C. Grant, Dean GREETINGS TO CLASS OF 1947 The Class of 1947 is the largest class ever to be graduated from Morgan State College or its predecessors, the Centennial Biblical Institute and Morgan College. I congratulate you on your achievements thus far and wish for you continued success in whatever endeavors you may find your- selves engaged. We arc looking forward to your identification with the Alumni Association. I hail you as bona fide, loyal and interested Morganites. Edward N. Wilson, Registrar Class of 1947 Morgan State College Dear Friends: You are among the first products of that great “Educational Revival” which represents the world wide effort of young people to rehabilitate their lives and careers in a presently very troubled world. Recovery can nowhere be achieved in broad, master strokes. It will come only in proportion as you and I strive earnestly to reweave the snarled and broken threads in our own immediate environ- ments for inclusion in the Master skein of civiliza- tion. To this world of toilful reparations I invite you as a fcliow worker. Yours Sincerely, James H. Carter, 7

HAIL AND FAREWELL TO THE CLASS OF 1947 As you arc graduated from this college, you arc entering a far different world from the one that existed when you entered four years ago. Then the world was definitely at war. Today it is presumably at peace, but whether the peace will be real and lasting will depend largely upon what is thought and done by the young people who arc leaving our colleges today. They tell us that civilization cannot survive another world war. To avoid universal disaster every graduate of every college on earth must dedicate himself to the establishment of good will and brotherhood among the people of the world. Beside this great commitment even the task of making a living is comparatively un- important because at the end of an atomic war there will be little worth living for. However, there is no need for your young hearts to be discouraged. Since a world of decency and goodwill consists of people who are decent and benevolent, your individual task is to do your part and to encourage your neighbors to do theirs. We send you forth, then, with our blessings into the brave new world with your heads held high and with your spirits unafraid. n. O. W. Holwks
