WAYNE A. R. LEYS Dean of Faculties The Class of 1948 has not only gone to college — the members of this class have helped to create a college. The building of a scholarly community is the focussing of the universe in a single place. Thus, some of you have helped establish the study of Chemistry on the fifth floor of the Auditorium Build- ing, the cultivation of arts and crafts on the fourth floor, the inauguration of mathematical, ethical, business, sociological, linguistic, and other studies on other floors. You have noted the new insights that were added to the college community when an anthro- pologist joined the staff, when bacteriologists were recruited, when musicians came to us from hither and yon. You cooperated with specialists and amateurs in activities outside of the classroom. I congratulate you upon your graduation from a new school. I predict that you will be rewarded by the achievement of creative will and know-how many years prior to the time of life when cre- ativity is normally possible. Unfortunately, the necessary disciplines of education usually have a deadening effect upon the imagination of young people. I expect an unusually large part of the class of 1948 to have both skill and the divine fire. WAYNE A. R. LEYS
