I congratulate each of you as you graduate from Pratt Insti- tute. Your years here have not been easy ones—the Institute has always been known as a place where students worked hard—but I hope they have been enjoyable ones. Pratt has endeavored to provide you with a sound training for your professional careers; at the same time it has tried to educate you for richer personal living and for more responsible citizen- ship. But my message to you at graduation time is this: do not assume that your education is over—either in your profes- sional field or in the broader areas of your non-professional life. Education is a life-long process. You have laid a firm foundation in your years at the Institute; it is up to you now to build on that foundation. A truly marvelous future lies ahead for all of us; perhaps never before have Americans had such opportunities for a rich and satisfying life. If you are to make the most of your opportunities, however, you will have to continue to grow and develop, in short, in one way or another, to continue your education. On behalf of the faculty and all of us who have been with you at Pratt, I bid you “Goodbye” and “Good Luck.” We wish you well and remind you that though you are graduating, you are not leaving us. You are part of the great Pratt family of over twenty thousand alumni. We know you will be a credit to the Institute; in turn, Pratt will continue to grow greater and you will be increasingly proud of your college. Come back and visit us; it will always be a pleasure to greet you. FRANCIS H. HORN
