Rollins College - Tomokan Yearbook (Winter Park, FL)

To the Class of 1948: You are the largest and in many ways the most mature Senior Class ever to be graduated from Rollins College. Many ol you who gave several years of your life to the defense of vour country are more mature than your classmates. You have gained a knowledge of life than can he ac quired only by living out in the world. You have gained knowledge and wisdom to some extent as a result of vour stay here and because ol that you are undoubtedly better equipped to meet the many problems of the world than I or most ol your instructors were when we left college. Never has the world needed wisdom and knowledge as much as it does today. The generation now coming into power will carry us a little farther than my generation was able to do, but without vour intelligent help they will not be able to accomplish much in solving the race problem, the problem of distribution ot wealth or the problem of world government in an atomic age. Remember that all real progress is made by individuals who are not afraid to fight. Good luck in your endeavor and blessings upon you all! Hamilton Holt, President of Rollins College.
