PRESIDEIWS IIIESSHGE To the students of Ohio Wesleyan University: For ninety-nine years students have come to and have gone from Ohio Wesleyan. They came for an education which embodies an understanding oi the movements of the past, an appreciation of the real values that make for permanency of the race's experience: intimate relationship with their professors through which the best in their lives is stimulat- ed to expression: happy congenial fellowship with their fellow students: the building of idealism: the strengthening of character: the expanding of mental horizons: the develop- ment of intellectual integrity: the beautifying of personality: and the developing of tech- niques of social adjustment. What a privilege it is for any college president to have intimate fellowship with a stud- ent body like youl What a joy is mine as I see you happy, radiant, enthusiastic about your work and about your relationship to this universityl What inspiration is mine as I note evident growth, intellectual and spiritual, in your lives. The Ohio Wesleyan men and women in the past are outstanding because they have learned not only to do those tasks well which are committed to them but also to develop a sense of responsibility for the building of ci better world. Ohio Wesleyan men and women have become leaders because they are servers of their age. I congratulate you upon the possibilities for service that lie ahead of you in this tragic hour of the world's history. A new World Order is in the process of formation. There may be vast economic, po- litical, and social changes but these will endure only if the world order of cooperation, of love, of peace, and of service to mankind which was the dream of Iesus, the Master of men, is developed. I sincerely trust that every member of this class will go forth to help build this new World Order. . With every good wish to you, I am Sincerely and Cordially yours, DR. HERBERT I. BURGSTAHLER, President.
