Outside my Window snow lies on the campus and a wintry Wind hrings sleet and freezing rain in its train. Yet in the warmth of my firelit room I seem to hear the rustle of long White dresses and to catch the fragrance of Com- mencement roses. How proud my husband and I are to he grad- uating With the Class of 1962! XVC hope you will admit us to honorary membership. True it is that it has taken us much longer than you to get through, hut We shall he sharing on Com- mencement morning the same joy that marks the happy accomplishment of one stage of our journey and the same excited anticipation of What lies ahead. XVords that you have often heard me read in morning Chapel come again to mind as I Watch you go your separate Ways to college: MI said to the man who stooa' at the Gate of the year: Give me a Light that I may tread safely into the unknown. And he replied: Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of GOD. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known wayf, Dear love to you always, and God bless you everyone. january 1962 18
