THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Wc live today in a world where the rate of change has been accelerated to such an extent that one of education’s main aims must be to assist the individual in developing adaptability. The age of atomic energy, jet propulsion, television, synthetic fibres, and other rapidly evolving discoveries in the world of material things demands a teaching profession alert to capitalize upon these advances. We have discovered more in the past quarter of a century about the reasons why humans behave as they do than had been discovered in all the history of mankind previous to that time. Wc know, however, that some things are timeless — the need of humans for love, security, adventure, acceptance and approval by their fellow men, and guidance from some superior power. To help others to use wisely the accumulated wisdom of the past to help us with present problems and to predict the future — that is the challenge facing the members of the Class of 1953 as they go from Plymouth into the fields of service and growth in a great profession.
