THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE To the Class of 1951: College graduation is a very worthy attainment. Therefore it gives me mugh pleasure to congratulate each member of the Class of 1951. You I 0 . V are now ready to enter the teaching profession with the stamp of approval as authorized by the Shippens- burg State Teachers College. The classes and the various activities in which you have participated have given you the broad outlook and keen interest needed for success. You have developed during your college career an appreciation for knowledge, courses, credits, quality points, extra-class activities, and degrees. These are important and serve a worthwhile purpose, but the crying need today is for teachers who have much more than a college record to offer society. This more important need pertains to emotional and spiritual qualifications. Teachers must become progenitors of a living America, not record-keepers of a passing nation. You will need to become courageous citizens with confidence in the fundamental principles of our American Republic g exponents of our almost forgotten system of checks and balancesg and leaders who are faithful to the ideals for which our forefathers struggled and fought. You ought to be loyal to the point of being willing to sacrifice yourself, and you must be dynamic in building confidence in the oncoming generation, especially in connection with the fundamentals of American government. You will need to indoctrinate the minds of children and adults toward the continuation and revitalization of American ideals. On the one hand you now become enlisted soldiers working to solve the problems of Americanization. On the other hand you are commissioned oflicers who shall give orders and conduct work in keeping with the fundamental regulations established by the constitution of the United States. However, never allow yourself to be influenced by whims, fancies, and enticing panaceas. A As you go forth from this college, it is your duty to strengthen the morale of the teaching profession through disseminating those ideals which guarantee truth, awaken- ing those ideals which have proven themselves necessary for social perpetuation, and developing those patriotic habits of conduct which can be trusted. You cannot afford to be continually looking for something new to the point where you lose sight of the many valuable fundamentals which have been developed in the past. You now become leaders in society and members of a profession whose duty it is to develop citizens loyal to family, state, and God. I feel sure that your years here at Shippensburg have fully qualified you to stir our youth with an emotional patriotism which is based upon reason. I have full confidence in you and wish each one of you success in every way. Let not these troubled times disturb you, but may they hold you more steadfastly to those essentials necessary in our developing civilization. Harry L. Kriner, President. Page Eleven
