Dean Stone ' s Message To The Class of 1948 Many of you have drained me dry of messages so that anything I say now is an old story. Von have heard me say that real learning occurs when the things you hold good are so much a part of von that they become the unconscious source of all von do. But the important thing, of course, is what you are. rather than what you do. If vou now see clearly the kind of a person vou want to be, you are an educated person, and if you have learned to see and act toward others in terms of their pictures of what thev want to be, you have gained the type of insight which citizens in a democracy should have. I hate to see you go. God bless vou. Wendell C. Stone, Dean of Rollins. Wendell C. Stone Dean of Rollins Message to the Class of 1948 Giving advice is too simple; receiving advice is both an art and a mystery. For most of us arc apt to take only what we want and to execute neat reasons for leaving the rest. Of course the sum total of good ad- vice always enumerates the same values of love, self- lessness, courage, and justice, and they are not always thrilling. If only something new would be invented in the way of values for life, virtue might be more exciting. But the same old values, vou will find, are the coin of the realm and will continue to be until we either live up to them or men are made over. I haven ' f known the class of ' 48 too well, for they have been seniors while I have been a freshman, but for them I wish courage for their ideals; wisdom for their choices, humility for their relations with God and man. May thev ever lead and join hand and heart, wherever thev mav be, to further the causes of Justice, Mercy, and Love. Theodore S. Darrah, Dean of the Knowles Memorial Chapel. Theodore S.

To the Class of 1948 You arc entering n new world — a world which stud In s away before you, Idled with all the mysterj ol romance and lire. I like (o think ol you individually rather than a class group, so in in farewell message to you, I am clasping each ol you bv the hand, looking into your eyes, and wishing you Godspeed. Your careers lie before you. You arc facing a world ol opportunit) equipped for service. We have faith in your ability. Cherish your friendships, keep your Faith in each other, and your trust in God always. In m parting word t you I wish to point out thai the subjects u have studied, the contacts you have made have an intellectual and moral value as well as a Financial one The supreme purposi ol hie is not to gather material riches only. To lie sure, a man must work lor financial gain ill order to keep alive, lint the onh reasonable justification for his keeping ali ( is that he shall have a lile worth living— a lite that is more than a phvsical existence. I ' riends, society, phil- osophy, literature, art-all that tends to the appreciation ol beauty, with the knowledge ol truth, all that enriches the intellectual interest, that kindles the imagination, that brings power, breadth, and balance, are part ol your heritage. I low e ' er it be, it seems to me ' tis only noble to be good Kind hearts are more than coronets And simple faith than Norman blood. We believe in the class ol L948, in your ability to make the world a better place to work in. GOD BLESS YOU ALL. A. D. Enyart, nam (if Men. Marian van Buren Cleveland ) an of Women A. 1 ). Em t! i Dean of Men To the Class of 1948 When a friend goes away on a long journey, saying goodbye is a difficult thing because we who arc left behind are torn between sadness at the parting and vicarious jo) and excite- ment Over the adventures that I ' c ahead ol the travelers. During the lour years ol your college life— years that looked so long when yon were a Ircshman and that seem so short now that they arc over— you became a part ol Rollins. Now Rollins has become a part ol you, and consciously or unconsciously you carry Rollins with you into your new lilc Tin 1 world needs you, it needs men and women ol high caliber, men and women ol intelligence and integrity, freed by their training from prejudice and ignorance, pettiness and unkindness, snobbery and selfishness, cowardice and b ar. So here are the qualities I hope that Rollins has helped oil to develop: Intellectual curiosity and open-mindedness. the abilitv to think for yourself and to think clearly; the abilitv to weigh and judge; the moral courage to lace responsibility and to stand up lor your ideals against opposition and even ridicule; the energy to translate those ideals into action and the intelligence and persuasiveness to interpret them to others; graciousness, courtesy, and true thoughtfulness, and the inner serenitv that will make each one ol von a friend to be depended upon, a fellow worker to be respected, a husband or wife to be loved and trusted, a parent to be proud ol. Each one ol von has your own important role to plav , and in the last analysis it matters far more what kind ol a person you are than what kind ol work you do. Keep in touch with your Rollins friends and please count me always as one ol them. Marian van Buren Cleveland, Demi tij Women,
