Dr. and Mrs. George W. Lloyd MESSAGE TO THE CLASS OF I960 Even in the face of an editorial decree, l find it difficult to tl i ink of a commencement under a Christmas tree! indeed, in December, June seems very far away with busy, happy months of work and activity ahead; one can still push thoughts of graduation, of parting, of college days to the back of ones mind. So, 1 prefer to think of you, as I write, as a Christinas gift we still have at Mount Vernon, We are proud of the record you are making, of your lively curiosity and interest in your work, of your fine accomplishment, and we are grateful for your leadership and for your ready help in shared respon- sibilities, Beyond and above these things, we are grateful for friendship and for kindness and thought- ful concern which is a more special dower, t recall the little Christmas story of Dorothy Thompson which we shared, and how the small girl in that stor dreamed that all the world was wide and beautiful, filled with kind hearts and tender hands and generous spirits. Her Christmas wish was that we should all find a world as kind as the heart of a child could imagine it. This is not only my Christmas wish, but also my June wish and my ulMhe-y ' ear- round wish for each one of you. But 1 do not wish only that you should find such a world waiting for you, but that each one of you should do her part in making it so, that others may share in the happiness and understanding w hich is given to you to make possible, Christmas Day. 1959 5
