REGIS COLLEGE DENVER 21, COLORADO 4 3 3-6565 OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT May 22, 1967 Dear Regis College Graduates, My first duty, and it is a pleasant one, is to offer congratulations as you approach completion of studies at Regis College. The liberal arts education you are now completing did not just happen; it has been realized purposefully. That is, you have set and accomplished a goal. You wisely chose to seek knowledge, wisdom, and how the truth must be pursued re- lentlessly, to your best ability. You are to be commended for whatever labor, dedication, and sacrifice you gave to your commitment of the past four years, and Regis College is grateful for having had the opportunity to be a part of this important period of your life. I would encourage each of you to continue your studies if possible, thereby even better preparing yourselves for more perfect fulfillment of yourself and a more efficient service to your fellow men. Our graduates go into a troubled world. Students in general are concerned about the future, and rightfully so. We are experiencing today a great stress on personal liberty, more so than on law. It is our duty to rectify all that is undue, seek for all men an exercise of liberty and no license, through a continuing self-education to responsibility for mature men. This will enhance our true freedom. It means an awareness of what is going on, a shouldering of the burden, proportionately, a realistic appraisal of consequences. We cannot be immune to sensible pressures, but we must never make a fetish of the new to the exclusion of responsibility. This responsibility, which is at the same time a privilege, is to safeguard our Christian heritage; to safeguard liberty and freedom for all men, to promote peace one with another, to fight ignorance and prejudice with a continual striving for knowledge and wisdom, which leads to a deep respect for the dignity of every man. It is our hope, and prayer, our ex- pectation, that with intellectual maturity and faith in Almighty Cod, you will fulfill your commitment to Him and your fellow men. Richard F. Ryan, S. J. President 2]
