DEAN Dear Graduates of 1956: I have been asked to write a farewell note to the 1956 class, but “Farewell” is so final. Such a term implies that the graduate is relegating his college days to an absolutely completed portion of hir life. Likewise, it may mean that hereafter the student will have only memories which will gradually dim as the years flow along. 'I'he Morgan faculty and administration fervently hope that the motivations, incen- tives, and inspiration, which arc the concomitants of formal education, have been so ingrained in our graduates that the influence of the college years will continue to be potent forces directing their lives. It seems that we should not say farewell to our Alma Mater. For all of life we will continue to be important factors in the Morgan community. The real Morgan spirit demands nothing less. Therefore, I say to the Class of 1956. “So long, friends, until we meet again. In the years that lie ahead, I know you will not be satisfied with less than the best both in striving and in achieving. With hest regards. GEORGE C. GRANT Dean 9

ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT To The Class of 1956: It is with sincere pleasure, that 1 congratulate you upon completion of what may be termed the first sector of your training for the battle of life. Today, you are SENIORS, living in a protected environment created largely by those who hold your welfare close to their hearts—tomorrow you again become FRESHMEN, stripped for that rigorous initiation which the world reserves for all. Accept your successes with modesty, endure your reverses with equanimity, and the rewards of the larger school into which you are now going will be as enduring and satisfying as are these which you enjoy today. JAMES H. CARTER Assistant to the President ASSISTANT DEAN To The Class of 1956: Your college career has had as one of its ob- jectives the arousing of vour consciousness that man is master of his own fate. The intellectual standards we set for you here were to prepare you to take up your responsibilities in the face of an uncertain destiny. We have inculcated the tools of learning within you so that you may face the world . . . and your destiny . . . with dignity. We hope we have succeeded. So, with love and confidence. I bid you fare- well and good luck. ARTHUR C. BANKS, JR. Assistant Dean I I
