MORGAN STATE COLLEGE June 1 1958 BALTIMORE l2, MARYLAND , OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT To the Seniors of 1958: Every climber who reaches the summit casts over his shoulder a backward glance to survey the pathway he has successfully traversed. Uppermoat in his mind are these thoughts -- how far have I come -- what devices was I able to employ -- how much did it cost -- what is the effort worth? You, the seniors of 1958,now merit in your Own right this backward glance. ,, For four long years since freshman days of 1954 you have been steadily climbing, until now the summit of this phase of life is spread before yon. How far have you come ? In truth, not too far. Unless this first adventure in learning the rules of life has inspired in your hearts a zest to climb -- has whetted in you the appetite to come to grips with the problems of our present day integrated civilization, the plateau upon which you now trium- phantly stand is but the top of a very little foothill and the mountains will forever lie beyond. What devices was I able to employ? This query is of paramount importance as you prepare to journey onward. To you there has been made available on this campus a. very adequate physical environment -- modern buildings, clean and comfortable surroundings, with each new year bringing improve- ment and expansion. The varied skills of a dedicated faculty and supporting staff have been yours to call upon during every hour. Constantly refined Curricula have been designed to enable you to grasp and wield successfully the tools of learning by means of which each, if he will, may fully develop his inborn potential. How much did it cost? By the happy incidence of our great democratic sys- tem its cost to you in money has been very little. It is our earnest hope, however, that you have spent lavishly of your physical and mental forces, of your undaunted will to succeed, and of your sense of gratitude to parents and all others who have sacrificed so much in order to advance you thus far upon the good way of life. And finally, what is the effort worth? In conscious words each of you may well return a different answer. Certain it is, however, that all Will unite in the assured belief that no cost is too great if it will better prepare bright young minds to cope with the increasing problems of a. disturbed world as you essay to climb the higher mountains which loom ahead. As you leave Morgan to journey upon your various ways, this is our hope for you as you take this backward glance. Cordially, President
