E -A fi WILLIAM K. PAYNE Fifth President A.B., Morehouse Collegeg M.A., Columbia Universityg advanced study, University of Minnesota and University of Chicagog Litt. D., Allen University. President is' Massage At no previous time in history has college education on the broad scale been more im- portant in the development of our demo- cratic ideals and aspirations. The growth of American ideals has been. in the main, de- pendent upon men and women who have at- tended the colleges and universities. In a similar manner. the growth and development of our way of life will continue to take place as a result of the interpretation and achieve- ment of our present college generation. The apparent crisis through which our country has been passing for over a decade brings to the youth of today a challenge that is unique. The unprecedented develop- ment in the technological world has made our world a difficult place in which to live. Tools. machinery implements, and physical power are the results of our great systems of education: but as one looks at these. he is astounded that so little has been accomplished in development of the thinking and feeling of mankind. While the technological advances are desirable and should continue to advance. there is serious need of sound development of human relations. College men and women of this decade must rise to meet this situation if the onward march of democracy is not to be arrested. lt is my hope that the young men and women of Savannah State College. at this time. will be on the frontier developing ways of living with others that will inspire the cultivation of every individual's potentialities rather than their destruction. It is my hope that the fears which we face today may subside because you have understanding. faith. and confidence in such large measures that mankind can live and work together for the good of the human family.
