Administration CONTINUED THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE TO THE CLASS OF 1958 In the brief years of your lives, you have experienced more earth-shattering events — both good and evil — than generations have experienced in centuries. You were born into a world at war; you have lived through years of strife; you have already witnessed phenomenal technological advances from automation to atomic energy; from supersonic speed to earth satellites. You have benefited from improvements in preventive medicine which promise you and your children freedom from diseases which have plagued mankind through the ages. You have suffered from the terrify- ing conquests of godless nations and the sinful influences of godless men. Your heritage is both great and grave: great because of the tremendous economic, scientific, and educational advantages you have over those who have gone before; grave because of the re- sponsibilities these advantages have placed upon you. You will undoubtedly see many more won- derful achievements in the years to come, and many of you will contribute to the knowledge of the universe yet to be acquired. But as you probe into the mysteries of the still vast unknown, you must remain aware of the mysteries which are beyond man’s sphere. If you achieve greatness in the eyes of men, remember to be humble in the eyes of God. We hope that your years at Seton Hall have prepared you for a successful life — that you have learned how much there is yet to know and how great is the potential of man. But above all, we pray that you will never lose sight of the fact that a man-made satellite can remain in its orbit only because of the laws of Nature — which are the laws of God — and that the ultimate goal of man is not to reach the moon, or the planets, or the stars, but to attain everlasting life in the Kingdom of Heaven.
