f wf- 'Yf ' To The Class oT I948: SOUTHWESTERN AT MEMPHIS had iTs beginnings aT Clarksville, Tennessee, in I848, has had, despiTe iTs Tinancial limiTaTions, an honorable record oT conTinuous service, and is graduaTing in This cenTennial year The largesT class in The hisTory oT The college. There have been marvelous developmenTs during The pasT cenTury, greaTer in some respecTs Than in any oTher cenTury OT recorded hisTory. IT is a Tar cry Trom The condiTions which exisTed in I848 when James K. Polk, oT Tennessee, was serving as The elevenTh PresidenT oT The UniTed STaTes, and There were only ThirTy sTaTes in The Union, To The condiTions under which we are living Today. There were Then no TypewriTers, incandescenT lighTs, Telephones, auTomobiles, radios, elecTrical appliances, and oTher conveniences which Today we regard as necessiTies. IT was a simpler Torm oT socieTy. No greaT TorTunes exisTed, and liTe moved aT a slower pace. There were Tewer Things To know and To know abouT, and men really believed someThing. A sound sense oT values and a greaTer moral earnesTness seemed To prevail-Things which are noT so apparenT in These sophisTicaTed and more prosperous days oT wider horizons. There have been many invenTions and discoveries, as well as indusTrial develop- menTs, as a resulT oT specializaTion, buT The TacT ThaT we have ToughT Tour wars since T848 is evidence enough ThaT we have noT yeT learned To live TogeTher amicably, in accordance wiTh The Two GreaT CommandmenTs-To love God supremely and To love our neighbor as ourselves. lT was The purpose oT The Tounders oT This insTiTuTion To pro- vide a sound college educaTion in which These Two GreaT CommandmenTs should be enThroned in The characTer and liTe and work oT iTs graduaTes. The need Today Tor such a sound educaTion incarnaTing These TundamenTals is, iusT because oT our vaunTed progress, even more greaTly needed Than iT was a cenTury ago. OT The one hundred and ThirTeen candidaTes Tor degrees in The class oT I948, ThirTy-Three enTered as Treshmen in I944, sixTy are TransTers lThirTy oT whom are veT- eransl, and The Tollowing lTheir courses here broken inTo by The warl enTered as Tresh- men as indicaTed: one in I939: Two in 1940: six in l94I 1 Tour in I942q six in T94-3: and one in I9-45. ' To all oT you, as well as Those men and women who will be recorded as x'48, we wish To exTend our greeTings, our good wishes, and our aTTecTionaTe regard. The changes and developmenTs and Tensions oT The nexT hundred years may be even greaTer Than Those oT The pasT cenTury. There is only one speciTic which will cure The ills oT The world-The one which we have noT Taken Too seriously. We are counTing on all oT you To uphold and promoTe in The years ahead, wiTh courage and inTelligence, Those Timeless, unchanging, and universal ChrisTian ideals by which iT is our duTy To live, and by The pracTice oT which alone can we have The world which God our FaTher desires Tor all His children.
