Presidents Messge Members of the class of 1947—the last four years have passed swiftly and pleasantly for us. While our country has been burdened and torn with the evils of war, we have been fortunate enough to be allowed to study, to train, to prepare ourselves in some measure to meet the demands of a growing nation and a progressive people. Now the time has come when each one of us must enter into a way of life. The strength of our nation lies in its number of intelligent, forcsighted citizens. Indeed, if the formal training we have received is properly applied and if each of us is willing to work conscientiously, we will fulfilll the ob- ligations that I believe our new status requires. We will take our places in the affairs of our country. We will become leaders of America’s intelli- gent, foresighted citizenry. There are opportunities for all of us. Let us grasp these opportunities, take on responsibilities, and accomplish some good for our humanity, our country, and ourselves. We must decide now that the thing we want most is to be of real service, even if that service means pioneering in some new work. We may accept the motto: “To lift up, to look up, and to hold up.” Honesty of purpose should be manifested in all of our activity and thought. This will be so if we will give the best of ourselves to the greatest good for others. Efforts arc always rewarded. The peace of mind, the strength of character which comes from unselfish, altruistic fulfillment of manhood and womanhood is gratifying. Our degrees now merely indicate that we have completed the academic requirements of a liberal arts college. We know, and society knows that a degree should mean more. Society focuses its eyes upon us, expecting us to set patterns in thought and conduct. Our lives no longer belong only to us; now we are each intimately associated with the institution of which we are products. Do we choose to bring honor or cast aspersions at Morgan? Congratulations on the success you have already attained. Press on to other successes. I wish for you a full and serviceable life. Willard S. Jones, President, Senior Class 26
