i4e Pne Medii i Me4 icu e You are completing - o-ax college edu- cation at a time when the foremost question before the world is whether the individual shall be merely a tool to serve the state or whether the state itself shall be an instrument of freedom for the in- dividual. We are living in a century of progress, accelerated by mechanical means until our social adjustments lag far behind our scientific accomplishments. The great task of tomorrow is to bring to the solu- tion of our social and political problems that same spirit of inventive genius, courage, persistence, and faith in the search for the truth which has brought about the technological developments of the past. The world today has unlimited faith in education and its value to the individual and to society. Educated men and women therefore bear a greater responsibility than ever before for taking their place in the onward march of social progress. You brought with you to Northeastern a purposeful attitude which has been of inestimable value in acquiring the knowl- edge and skill which will enable you to earn a better living. I hope you have obtained here a breadth of vision which will help you to use that knowledge in making life more meaningful to those with whom you come in contact. It has been said that education repre- sents the cutting edge of progress. Educated men and women . . . the grad- uates of our colleges and universities . . . must take their places in the front ranks if they are to be effective forces for good. Your sphere of influence may be limited to your own home and place of business; it may include your church and com- munity; it may be in the larger field of the state and nation; wherever it is, remember that the most important thing is . . . Not your age, but the kind of ideas you have; Not your ability, but your sense of values; Not your knowledge, but the use which you make of it; Not your means for a high level of living, but the level on which you choose to live. J . f i A.B., M.S., Ed.M., Sc.D. President of the University

CLASS OFFICERS PRESIDENT Harry J. Shalvarjian VICE-PRESIDENT Vasileos I. Pavloglou SECRETARY Merle I. Locke TREASURER George T. O ' Connor Locke Shalvarjian O ' Connor Pavloglou To Professor Joseph M. Golemme go our thanks for his counsel, assistance, and guid- ance throughout our last college years. His difficult task of reorganizing a segment of the original Class of 1950 into a separate class in our Middler Year has been well rewarded by the co-operation received from all colleges and the functions which our class has successfully sponsored. Professor Golemme was born October 9, 1915, while his parents were touring Italy. A graduate of Northeastern ' s College of Business Administration in 1938 with a Bachelor of Science degree, he returned to N. U. to teach Accounting, and at the same time, study at Boston University, where in 1940, he was recipient of a Master of Arts degree in Economics. World War II found our adviser serving three years in Europe with the Finance Corps of the United States Army as an investigator in Italy, France, Germany, and Switzerland. Upon release from the service. Professor Golemme returned to Northeastern, where in 1948, he was appointed Assistant Professor of Accounting. He now resides with his wife and family in Boston.
