y URING the life of a university There appear individuals In its chairs of learning Who are outstanding Not only as teachers, But also as men, Who are respected and admired By both faculty And students alike, And who have given Unselfishly of themselves To their students. Such a man is Prof. George H. Meserve, Jr. Whose understanding. Love of teaching. And concern for his students Both in and out of the classroom Are well known Throughout the University. But the highest tribute That can be given To a teacher Is given him by His students themselves, For at the End of each term They are all heard to remark, I ' ve never enjoyed Taking a course more In mv life. Thvis, it is our Great pleasure To dedicate The 1953 CAULDRON To Prof. George H. Meserve, Jr., Teacher, scholar, and gentleman.

To The Class of 7953 When you entered this University as freshmen, I had the oppor- tunity to address you as a class and to tell you something about Northeastern — what it stands for, what it should mean to you, and what you should get out of your college education. The subject, I remember, was Investing in Your Future. You have made a substantial investment of five years of hard work, which has been lightened, I hope, by the enjoyment of work- ing and playing together, by warm and enduring friendships made along the way, and, above all, by the satisfaction of achievement. You will immediately have returns on this investment — not merely financial gain, but returns in the way of a better under- standing of the society in which you are now living as a mature person and a larger vision of what this world can be. In addition to the knowledge and understanding which you have gained, you have made, I am confident, a firm determination to vise your trained mind and your developed sense of values to make your vision of the future a reality. You have not completed your investment in the future; you will continue to learn as you solve problems, make choices, and endeavor to bring abovit constructive good in every situation. My sincere wish is that every member of the Class of 1953 may successfullv meet the challenge of the days ahead. V jLA-AjlP
