t To the Members of the 1956 Graduating Class: On my high school commencement night many years ago. a member of the faculty handed each member of our graduating class a slip of paper on which was the following message: There is no magic in a diploma. There is no guarantee of wisdom in a college degree. The lexicographers tell us that a diploma confers a privilege, an honor, or a power. A privilege is of little significance unless we avail ourselves of it. An honor is meaningless unless we live it. A power is futile unless we exercise it. And to do these things, we must have that within us which mates it possible. They are not in the written paper. They are in the holder of it.” The truth of this message is as significant today as it was then. I hope it will mean as much to each of you as it did to me. Best of wishes. R. H.
