alma maler and experiences which go lo make up lhal educalion which is going lo help prove in years lo come lhal Rulgers really does build men. Thal valianlly loughl Proc Rush lhal I wrole lo you aboul lour years ago and lhe Egg Rush are examples ol lhe way we are going lo lighl laler ballles, never admilling deleal. Our represenlalion on Rulgers' leams is symbolic ol lhe represenlalion we hope lo make in lhe lulure world ol men. Our social lunclions are going lo symbolize our lilness in lhe exlracurricular aclivilies ol lile. Thal is iusl lhe way we lell when we enlered. Don'l you remember how I lussed and lumed when Dad didn'l lhink al lhe lasl minule lhal he could scrape logelher enough cash lo send me lo Rulgers? I was all pepped up aboul il. I was going lo be a big college man. I was going lo conquer lhe world, and mv world al lhal lime was college. I Well, I have lalked wilh a lol ol college men since lhen, and mosl ol lhe lellows in my class leel lhe same way aboul il. They had big ideas aboul how lhey were going lo become presidenls ol lheir class and Phi Bela Kappa and caplain ol lhe loolball leam and all lhal. Ol course we weren'l all successful because lhere were only lour class presidenls and only len per cenl ol lhe class could be Phi Bela Kappa, bul even il some ol us have lallen down in whal we hoped lo do we slill have lhal same idealism wilh which we slarled in. Thal is whal I mean when I say we leel lhe same way we did when we enlered as lreshmen. Ol course we leel bigger and beller, and more capable ol carrying oul lhose dreams which we hold belore us as ideals, bul lhen our ideals are so much higher now lhal we are relalively in lhe same place. We are iusl beller lilled lo carry on a bigger job, lhal is all. We don'l mean lo lorgel Rulgers as soon as il is all over iusl like an army burns a bridge il has buill and crossed over on ils way lo conquer a new counlry. Ralher we are going lo save- her in our memory. We are going lo look upon her fusl as we do our parenls who helped us gel along. We are loo big as men lo enlerlain any longer lhe old allilude manv ol us had in years gone by lhal lhe old place is iusl a work house where lhey give you a lol ol work lo do in exchange lor lhe money you have lo borrow and save. Rulgers is lo us a sorl ol a lriend who has given us a boosl, and conlinues lo give olher men boosls up lhe sleep grade lo success. There have been limes when we haled lhe sighl ol Old Oueen's and lhe olher buildings on lhe campus, and we haled lhe old bell which reminds us lhal il is lime lo gel up and go, hall asleep, lo anolher Ieclure, bul now lhal il is lime lo go, il seems lhal lhere is somelhing sacred aboul lhe old building and lhe Iasl lew limes we go under lhe arches ol lhe old gales which surround Oueen's Campus we do il wilh a sorl ol prayerlul allilude. Aller all lhere have been a lol ol good limes in lhis old place. We have gollen a greal deal oul ol il lor which we will be lhanklul lor all lhe resl ol our lives. Thus, as we leave Rulgers, we do nol say lo lhe resl ol lhe college, Look whal we have done lor youI Ralher, we say, Good bye, and, Thank you, and we are enlering a more universal universily lo prove lhal Rulgers makes men, and lhal we are lrorn Rulgers.

You will Tind enclosed The usual phoTographs and The inviTaTion To The graduaTion exercises-iusT The same as when I graduaTed Trom prep school. You know, iT doesn'T seem so long ago now when we TirsT sTepped oTl The Train and Took our TirsT look aT Queens Campus and Tried To imagine ourselves living nexT To The rough old sTones oT Queen's Building and KirkpaTrick Chapel Tor Tour years. We were young Then in our ideas ol college liie. We were all sTeeped in The enThusiasm oT long anTicipaTion. BuT we now Tind ourselves in The same place relaTively. JusT as we graduaTed Trom our high schools and looked lorward in all our idealism Towards a college career, so we now graduaTe Trom college, looking Torward To whaT we inTend To do in The world. As a class we were green on ThaT SepTember day Tour years ago. We admiT ThaT now. Perhaps we were as green as The resT oT Them. Then as sophomores we were sophisTicaTed-experienced beyond our experience. During The iunior year we musT admiT we passed Through The Typical sTage oT pre-graduaTion superioriTy. Through iT all we held The usual conceiTs oT all classes. Our class hisTories are wiTness oT The TacT. Each year as The ScarleT l.eTTer appeared we claimed, along wiTh The resT, To be The cream oT The aThleTic Teams, To be The besT in exTra- curricular acTiviTies, and To run The besT social TuncTions. Now, as seniors, we Take The broader posiTion oT aTTribuTing whaT we are To RuTgers. ThaT is The hisTory oT The class. IT is an evoluTion Trom conceiT To broadmindedness, Trom conifidence in our abiliTy To accomplish To conTenTmenT in our eTTorTs To accomplish, Trom Treshmen To seniors. We do noT graduaTe: we commence. We do noT claim accomplishment we look Torward To TuTure aTTempTs aT accomplishmenT. We do noT praise ourselves, buT we say Tarewell. We hope To serve RuTgers as she has served us. The evenTs which have Tilled our Tour years on The campus have noT been TorgoTTen. RaTher They are impressions by which we shall always remember our xxXXX I I .f- III, 24 X 6641
