1446 Our lgrediclenf Dear Parents, Students, Faculty, and Friends: Hope and longing of better days lie deep in American hearts. The dignity and worth of each man and Woman, safeguarded in the long struggles for constitutional liberty in the middle ages, brought to America by the earliest immigrants, hammered out of three centuries of experiment in cooperative living in a free land, are more precious today than in the days of the Magna Charta, the constitutional convention, or Appomattox. Our College has through its short history borne a Worthy part in the American struggle for a better and a richer life for all its students and for all the homes it has touched year by year. lt has not been easy. The strains of extraordinary growth, inadequate support and housing, and greater demands from city and state have left their marks upon the mind and body. The old challenge arises again. With firm hands, clear vision, coopera- tive efforts, We shall face the future and carry on With greater numbers in the faculty and student body, greater resources of support and equipment and housing as America rises to its destiny in a better and reconstructed World. We shall bear our Worthy part.
