Nothing but the good enters into the texture of the beautiful. But the good which inheres in a beautiful character is the highest good of all. for in its beneficence others may share. She whom we honor here en- riches the life of Randolph-Macon not only by many acts of kindness and good will, but above all by the no- bility of the ideal which she sets for our attainment. For we need con- stantly to clarify our perception of the good, and to enliven our vision of the ideal.

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL T0 THE CLASS or 1952 I am grateful for the privilege of using this space in the RANDOMAC to address a brief statement to the Class of l95l-52. We hear a great deal these days about the uncertain conditions of the age in which you are growing into manhood. There are those who show a tendency to express sympathy for your generation because of these difficult times. I trust and believe you will not give too much attention to these pictures as they are being drawn. If you will review history, you will find that there have been other critical periods in the relatively short life of our own Country. It has been in these periods of crisis that many of our greatest leaders have labored and made their contributions to the generations that have followed. They undoubtedly heard many times dire predictions of calamity and disaster. But they were men of character and vision who actually gained strength by meeting and fac- ing troublesome situations. 9 And so it can be and is today. There is always the high road and the low road.' For strong spirits the world of today offers the opportunity to take the high road to ad- venture, service and success. There is too the low road that leads to self-pity and failure. It has been ever so. It is my conviction that you will choose wisely and courageously the road you will travel, and it shall be our constant hope at R.-lVl. A. that life on the high road may bring to each of you satisfaction, happiness, and peace in the challenging years that lie ahead. MW.
