PRESIDENT ' S fjQESSHGE ■Jti To the Class of 1937: Last year your predeces- sors, claiming the proud title of The Centennial Class, joined all other Texans in celebrating the one hun- dredth year of the political independence of this com- monwealth. As another commencement day ap- proaches, I salute the Class of 1937 as the Pioneer Class of a New Century in the history of Texas. As pio- neers, you are trail-blazers in a new era that has for its ultimate goal the solution of problems, economic, so- cial, governmental, spiritual, that confront the world to- day, with tremendous and growing significance. In a recent book, The Return to Religion, whose author is neither a preacher nor a teacher, but a practi- cal scientist, there are some thought-provoking statements that I quote for your earnest consideration: In spite of the great benefits which the physical sciences have bestowed on mankind — a longer life, a more comfortable life, a life more free from physical pains, and a life filled with an infinite variety of inter- esting objects and education- al experiences, there is no evidence that individuals are happier, that families are more united, that govern- ments or political bodies are wiser, or that nations are less likely to go to war. Herein is a challenge to you who stand upon the threshold of the new era. What ' s wrong with our social order is not primarily economic nor governmental nor intellectual. The supreme challenge is for right emphasis upon spiritual values — belief in God, belief in a divine moral order expressed in the Ten Commandments and in the life and teachings of Christ, acceptance of the Church as the chief (even though imperfect) vehicle of religious truths that are greater than science, and values that are higher than reason. ... There is need for positive convictions on matters of basic right and wrong; for the subordination of intellectual arrogance to the discipline of the unselfish life. There is need to know that religion is not the refuge of the weak but the weapon of those who would be strong. This is the challenge of the New Century to the Pioneer Class of 1937. Sincerely, your friend, Harry F. Estill 18
