f I Eva Earll Furlong To the Graduates of the Three Year Elementary Curriculum There comes to mind one of Cicero’s sayings: “These studies that nourish youth . . . they travel with us.” As a result of the studies you have pursued with us, may there travel along with you, in these uncertain times, an understanding mind, and heart, and effort projected into human affairs. Never has there been more need for us to act in the affairs of our community, of our country, and of the world with a trained intelligence, a deep insight, and high conscientiousness. May your philosophy of living and teaching embody: “The enduring things in the long story of human development, told without provincial prejudice, embracing all peoples and all lands, leading to, but not led by, the fleeting present.” J) May there travel forth with you, our faith in you as a stimulating and liberalizing influence on those who look to you “to explain the universe”.
