We are afraid because we have discovered weapons which will de- stroy us if we cannot find permanent peace. Unless we find answers to our problems of living together we will return to a primitive state. The sources for our answers are knowledge, experimentation, and faith. These our college must supply. T oday our college is rapidly filling with iubilant youth, many of whom have returned from armed ser- vice. Our faculty is increasing and the legislature has assured us of new college buildings. With the power of our faculty, the enthusiasm of our dynamic student body, the new buildings and equip- ment, and the need for world understanding and in- telligent action. we look forward anxiously to lilling our place in the cultural life of the world. The years ahead will take courage, and to be successful we must let our minds be bold. As your president I am greatly impressed by our opportunities, and I am confident that all of us- faculty and students alike-will go forward together.
