PRESIDENT' There are many discoveries on the frontiers of educa- tion awaiting the explorers of tomorrow. As a profes- sional resource, you have great potential. You have completed a challenging and inspiring voyage into higher education through a broad college program which has equipped you for professional leadership. What fun it was, but how difficult, to make the first ad- iustment to college in the freshman year of orientation. How frustrating and sometimes overwhelming the ex- perience as you became a participant in your sopho- more year. How stimulating and satisfying was the iunior year of specialization, and the continued explor- ation and recapitulation in your senior year. These four years, however, are an apprenticeship, a period of seasoning for the more significant voyages ahead. Now you have the choice and the responsibility of planning your next area of activity. Broad interests and sharpened intellect, together with the techniques of or- ganization, examination, and appraisal should give you, the teacher, a zest for further exploration leading to discovery of the less known-or even the unknown. Furthermore, you have the opportunity to excel. It has been said that America's greatness may be ex- MESSAGE pressed in the freedom to choose and the freedom to excel. Excellence is a product of ability, motivation, and character. Native capacity is not the sole ingredient in superior performance. Motivation and character are more likely to play maior roles. Endowed with love of truth, critical insight, sympathetic understanding, and candor in evaluation no matter where it leads, a teacher may influence the world. The explorer likes controversy, for out of it comes knowledge. He does not build up a set of opinions which must not be questioned. His searches may lead to new discoveries. The teacher knows that no chal- lenge is more important than to recognize the individ- ual and to give meaning to the idea of human dignity. His searches discover hidden talents in those he is privileged to serve. The frontier in education in America awaits the ex- ploration of you, the members of the Class of 1960. Archibald Macleish gives us the cue: The American Journey has not ended. America is never accomplished. America is always still to build, for men, as long as they are merely men, will dream of man's fulfillment. W N I
