The era in which you emerge as full grown citizens will be known to historians as an era of transition. For some, this transition will be characterized in terms of the change from a segregated to a desegregated society. For you, it should be more properly assessed as the transtion from civil rights to social fulfillment. Whether social fulfillment will become a reality for you may well depend, not so much upon the educational accomplishments thus far achieved, but upon those apt to be achieved. It is thus that your stay with us has been designed to develop in you the value of trained intelligence. To the end that you will continue to increase your skill and expand your knowledge for the fulhllment of your role in the postmodern era, we bid you to go forth with our hopes and God's blessings. ularnes E.
