J. CONRAD SEEGERS Ph.D., Litt.D., LL.D., L.H.D. President, Muhlenberg College PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE To the Class of 1958: Your class has, perhaps, witnessed more changes at Muhlenberg College than any other class since the college developed its present campus. During the four years that have elapsed since you entered as freshman the physical aspect of the campus has been altered. West Hall has been given a com- plete renovation. Martin Luther Hall and new health center have been built. Play areas have been added, and — greatest of all changes — coeducation has been introduced. In that same period we have strengthened the college in an academic sense. You have undoubtedly been aware of revisions and changes in certain departments and courses, and doubtless know that we have become more rigorous in our academic standards. We have no desire to become, or intention of becoming unrealistic in either of these re- spects. We want to continue to be a college in which reasonably prepared men and women can enter and succeed. But we need to take the steps described. Perhaps not so obvious to you, but just as truly and even more significantly changes have, at the same time, occured in the world around us. We are living in a world which, paradoxically, has both shrunk and expanded. It has shrunk because terrestrial distances mean very much less, expanded because man has invaded outer space. Not too many years ago people were com- plaining that there were no more frontiers to conquer, that the adventurous spirit had little left to challenge him. That, of course, was never true. There al- ways has been and always will be abundant challenge for the man or woman who has intelligence enough to recognize and courage enough to meet it. But in some unique sense young people beginning careers now, and probably those beginning them in the near future, will find frontiers never dreamed of before. There will be frontiers in every phase of human thought and endeavor, in profes- sions, in business, in government, in theo- logy, in teaching. It seems that we are enter- ing the most exciting age in human history, an age that will challenge the best in man- kind. We hope that the experience and educa- tion you have had at Muhlenberg College will have given you the breadth and depth, the resourcefulness, the intellectual acumen and courage that so dynamic an age will demand. Our very best wishes are with you. Sincerely, JCS 16
