A nd son ... ... saw the bronze of twilight, o • O t� V' 9 and heard the words echo: “when I was a child, I spake as a child; But when I became a man, I put away my childish things— and I understood. In the softness of the night's gentle birth, I raised the black cap, and I knew the sadness of end. Reluctantly, I let the cap slip to my side, but the symbol remained in my grasp, and I knew the wonder of hope. Suddenly, realized the challenge involved in fulfilling the role of. U. S.

This I inherited, and in the comfort and warmth of a home filled with the pungent aroma of dinner almost-prepared, filled with the voice of a TV sport scaster relating the events of a baseball game, filled with the complacency of love and security. I thought of this world. thought of nations scarred with the ruins of once-flourishing cities. —and then of my city. I thought of young men whose plans and dreams lie covered with mounds of foreign earth, —and then of myself. I thought of the pathetic sadness of a destitute child’s eyes as he prowls the labyrinthed alleys of his destroyed world in search of someone, someplace, something, —and then of you, who was yet to come. It was then, my son, that I accepted the world—and in so doing, accepted its challenge. h was a difficult task to undertake. and I must admit that tried to avoid it by telling myself that I was insignificant, that I could do nothing alone... But I found that I could not shrug the burden, for once I had realized that this was my task too, I could not forget it... A nd I came to realize that to permit myself the luxury of mediocrity, the bliss of irresponsibility was to destroy myself —and merely to pass the burden on to you. This I could not do. A nd so, I set out to determine my role in this war-torn world. I knew that every future knows a past, and thus thought of my past. Little did I realize how greatly my education would determine my actions. With the memory of Springfield still fresh in my mind. I did not know how profound an influence the school would have upon my future ... But time has passed—and now I know... How well I still remember . .. ... those years. Filled with the complexity and wonder of growth, my four years at Springfield are deeply imprinted upon my mind— A nd now that 1 am older, I can see that they were years of more than .. 10 During those years, I grew in many aspects. Now I know the real meaning of Dr. Doggett's phrase, “The Invisible College,” for a school can not help hut influence each student in his ideas and in his ideals, and thus, each graduate of Springfield carries a part of the school with him. Ah—hut the “visible’’ college! That too was changing and growing. I haven’t been back in so many years. wonder what it is like today. I can still visualize the campus as it urn... ... those steps I walked when papers were due. when tests were near. 12 when concentration was “absolutely needed— so crowded during the day. remember standing before one doorway in particular and seeing... 15 ... a professor racing up the steps — I remember how we smiled, and parted to let him through. 16 wonder how many of the old “profs” are still there. Tis strange to think of some of them as being gone. They were such an intricate part of my life at school. Some were professors; some were friends; some were both. Let me pause a moment. I'm sure I can recall that... 17 FACULTY • • • 18 The true teacher defends his pupils against his ow n personal influence. He inspires self-distrust.

Dr. Reuben Frost Director of Physical Education for Men Dr. Ruth Evans Director of Physical Education for Women Mrs. Diane H. Babbitt Miss Eugenic Do icr Miss Diane Potter Dr. Margaret A. Thorsen We were young. To challenge us to find ourselves was such the goal they set. I did not know how much this common aspiration of all those men would someday mean to me. What did they teach?... They did not stand in rooms before “too many students for money, nor for ease. They stood before us in certain mind and sought to guide. remember some of the classes — the “baby panther in Anatomy, the Biology lectures in Room 100. the three-minute speeches in Freshman English. There were Dr. Sctti Arscnian Mr. Will A. Dickluilli golf classes in the field house with rain beating on the roof and orals in Physiology which demanded days of study and history tests which covered hundred of years of man's struggle and weeks of nights of my struggle. But those classes held much more than the coldness of memorization and the stiffness of organized facts. These professors knew that when years had slipped by and a decade had passed We would not remember Aristotle's theory of tragedy, nor Freud's concept of personality, nor Newton's law of propulsion, and so they sought to teach us more. Mr. D. Bagster-C'olliiis l)r. George E. Brooks Dr. Donald F. Mr. C. Edward Bridgenian Gray don i Mr. Harold C.

They told its merely it was good to act; it was right to think; it was necessary to believe in something. A nd from their simple gestures, came to know in those four years that they w ere right. The debt we owe these men is not repayable. They taught us that life is a void if it has no direction. Yes, these men fdled their classes with more than textbooks and lectures and tests...

DEDICATION One of these men. remember very clearly. 1 can recall Dr. Brooks’ classes so vividly. I re- member one incident which, to me, evidenced his true ability as a professor. It was a bright spring day when he stood before the class in room 101. He looked about the room at the chipped plaster walls, at the pipes laced overhead, at the window propped open by a board, and confessed that this was not a room in which to be teaching Cyrano de Bergerac, but then he told us this was unimportant, for true education is a meeting of minds. He smiled know- ingly at our cynical smirks, and proceeded to speak to us of Rostand's play. I still am uncertain as to precisely when or how it happened, but when next glanced about the room minutes later, I saw that all were as enthralled as I was by his words — Displuming lus sense of humor. Dr. Brooks smiled as he remembered an entertaining speeeh given in Fnglish 18. Dr. Brooks revealed to us the play as he saw it: when he spoke of the characters, they became real and alive: when he described the setting, it became a vivid picture; when he explained the poignancy and depth of the theme, it became a part of us. Dr. Brooks stopped for an “after class lecture—perhaps on Annabel Lee. Through the wonder of his teaching, the pages we had merely skimmed the previous night took on meaning and we could see this drama in our lives And thus he spoke, and thus we learned. The first words l)r. Brooks taught his grandson .... were: I’m going to Dartmouth His wonder of knowledge, he it diagramming sentences. analyzing Churchill's speeches, or interpreting Don Quixote, and his ability to convey that knowledge to us: His insistence that we give of ourselves to meet his giving of self: His constant demand that we develop our ability to their fullest possible potential is living proof attesting to the fact that the word “teacher did not die with Socrates. Men such as Dr. Brooks, professors whose lives were devoted to the art of teaching, were an integral part of Springfield College, but there were other men who devoted time and energy to the school. They were people often overlooked in the mainstream of credit-given. Such were the men whose days were spent in work unseen: such were the men who passed unnoticed in the complex workings of the college: such were the men of the ... You are young, my son, and. as the years go by, time will change and even reverse many of your present opinions. Refrain, there- fore awhile from setting yourself up as a judge of the highest matters. Plato ...ADMINISTRATION 30 J We, as students, needed such men to direct the school, for we were young and the young know continual changes of opin- ion; we needed someone constant to guide us in our conduct . . . 31 I)r. Glenn A. Olds President We could not see the workings of their days, hut the results evi- denced themselves in many ways. Through constructive council and calm leadership, these men instituted the policies by which we students were governed... In this manner, they sought to help us find the proper way in which to govern ourselves. Mr. Torbin F. Yates Vice President To guide in unseen ways was the object of their efforts... Hoard of Trustees Theirs were the strong hands which taught self-use of hands; theirs were the strong minds which taught self-use of minds; theirs were the strong wills which taught self-use of individuals' powers. Too often a drama so centers action that the background stands unnoticed. but a background governs action, and both are necessary, for neither is effective without the other.

YOUNG JAN G. ZADOORIAN But as time passed, we came to know the meaning of these words: We came to know that “togetherness” was not following the whims and wills of the group; it was merely learning to live in a society of human beings as a human being. We came to realize that “groupiness” was not losing identity in the totalness of mass; it was simply learning to give of oneself and to accept what others had to offer. We came to see that these concepts meant not the work- ing of a “combined one,” but the cooperation of separate individuals... 68 We heard other words too— words such as can,” do,” will, ” A nd they counteracted all the can t”sand don't”sand won't”s! If only had said I will, I can,” I do” more often in those four years, but you see, my son, the lines were not written for me—and I was inexperienced as a playwright. What is important is that during the drama I spoke them a few times—and in so doing, came to know that they were strong words. Of course, I sometimes committed myself to things and discovered they were impossible for me to do. Sometimes I tried, and found I just couldn't. But even the times I fell, the times failed, they were unimportant when realized too many un- expected things within my capabilities. I discovered the importance of the attempt, and I found I was able to do—and, somewhat surprised at my own abilities and interests, began to understand the Socratic adage. Thus—the theme! Then—the plot—studies, activities, and . 70 — — Each of us sought out those groups which captured our interests, those to which we could give of ourselves and from which we could gain experience in further developing our imaginations, our talents, and our abilities... To find out what one is fitted to do and to secure an opportunity to do it is the key to happiness. JOHN DEWEY If only I had seized more firmly the opportunities presented by these clubs and utilized their advantageous offerings to a fuller extent. Oh, I did much while I was in school, but there was so much more I could have done. I remember how some of those clubs helped in developing hidden aspects which we students never suspected lie latent within us. Some presented many opportunities for leadership; some offered development of creative abilities; others aided in professional training; still others fostered interest in areas hitherto unknown to us. remember some of the organizations which were then campus . . .

The one which first comes to mind is, of course, the “Student Council,” that influential body which reflected student ideas and suggestions to the administration. Many problems arose, as differences of opinion always arise between students and administration, but our Student Council coped with the situation well. 73 Meeting on off-campus ruling. A sub-group of the Student Council was another student- controlled organization — “Student Activities Board. A group in which students could exercise their leadership ability, this board encouraged, guided, and aided various aspects of campus life: educational, social, cultural, and religious.

With the new college center, which was erected while I was at Springfield, came an additional opportunity for students to exercise their expanding administrative role.

Yes, I recall these groups! They were all part of the development of each man's individual plot as he progressed through the pages of this four year career, and the plot was intricate, unfolding with each new concept formed, with each new technique learned . . . 98 Through these groups, our desires were transformed into actions; we knew the “want to and we discovered the how to ; Through our gropings, our attempts, we brushed gently the challenge I now fully face — and in that initial meeting, the preparations gained have proved invalu- able. We learned to understand our potentialities, to develop our talents, to foster a faith in ourselves, and to appreciate the abilities of others. We learned how to compete and how to cooperate, how to lead and how to follow, how to take the initiative and how to share the responsibility. These clubs did not form us; we shaped them — and in so doing, we molded ourselves — for much that we learned was not in books. Self-expression — in whatever area we chose to enter — that was the key! The formulation of our ideas, our actions, became the impetus for the formulation of dreams before undreamt, deeds before undone, realizations before unknown. The theme and the plot were inseparable and through our actions, we came to know our abilities. But theme and plot can be lifeless if devoid of color. There were other elements — elements of laughter, of understanding, of moving experiences which gave life to the form. 99 And the color of our stories was found in our . . . ACTIVITIES One should be just as careful in choosing one’s pleasures as in avoiding calamities. rHTNFSF PROVF.RRS And imagination gave to our drama the richness of full days. Our experiences deepened the meaning of that which we were striving for and broadened the scope of that which we were living, for college was a present as well as a future. We knew the wonder of happiness — both vivacious enthusiasm and calm serenity . . . As the pages were being written, we lost the awkwardness of those first few freshman attempts, and we gained the poise of growing maturity. The social paths we traveled were of great importance to us for each step added to our understanding of the human per- sonality, to our developing attitudes of self-assurance, to our formulating concepts of the values of leisure time. We learned the importance of laughter, for man was not meant to live in depression or indifference; We learned the nature of wholesome fun, for man is the sum of both sorrow and joy; We learned the magnitude of life's enjoyments, for the seeking of happiness is a personal phenomenon. 102 and the ringing of laughter balanced the words of dejection, and the scales of just understanding weighed growth; and the banter of friendly chatter equated the hardness of anger, and the formula discovered insight into human diversity; — and the knowledge of being secure in the circle of personal warmth compensated for the anguish of lonely solitude, and this compensation drew an understanding of our role and our nature. Our carefree hours were important hours, for we knew our good times were a part of being young. Our activities — the feature of the “now” entwined with the plans for the “someday ” From the very first experience we encountered on campus to our time of departure, we realized the importance of the fea- ture life at Springfield. My very first experience — tucked in the corner of my memory but not forgotten . . . 103. Ilnun, � hat will the future bring? Many pulses quickened on that first day. Arrival at Springfield — all new, all different, all unknown. With mingled emotions, we looked at our “beanies, tucked our handbooks in our pockets, summoned our fortitude to withstand the good-natured “initiations” of the upperclassmen, and com- menced to carve our initials upon the record of Springfield and imprint the school upon the records of our lives. 104 What rocs up must conic down We soon got “on the ball and “learned the ropes” — literally as well as symbolically. I still remember coming back so tired. so dirtx, and so happy from the traditional “bouts with the Sopho- more class. Yes, the rope pull, the cage ball games — all part of my Fresh- man year, but the feature of that first year which remains uppermost in my mind is, of course . . . Pull. Sophs! You mean we’ve got lo live here for a week? . . . Freshmen Camp. Those ten days when the chief words in our vocabularies were: rain. cold, food,” and mulch. still cannot understand how we could have lived only a half mile from the main road and still have been so far from civi- lization! 106 Food, Friends. Fun! Ari l.inkletter at Freshman Camp Living — building fires, putting up tents, a quick game of cards and the loser washes the mess kits. Learning — camp programming, Indian lore, boating and canoe- ing. outdoor living, nature lore. Laughing — at our “sophisticated” clothing, at our hiding of the two extra pans used in the one-pot meal, at all our “extra activities. Listening — to voices of chuckling and complaining, to echoes resounding of the mysteries of Nature, to whispers of God in the serenity of the Cathedral in the Pines. There were other activities I also remember — special weekends on campus . . . 107 Students, Parents. Faculty—The Springfield College Family Parents Weekends — those times in Fall and Spring when cars covered the campus and parents roamed the school grounds. So many parents came each time — can still see the field house crowded with people for the Satur- day night dinner . . . 108 Students and Parents getting into the Swing of Things” — and the dance that followed: as far as dancing was concerned, that “older” generation” really “took the beat” and it was us who “took the beating,” for we were outshone by far! We did manage to roam around the dance floor, however, and we even held some dances of our own . . . Ilium, good! 109 Full Homecoming's oldest alumnus showing his school spirit Homecomings! Times varied — Fall and Winter; Ac- tivities varied — foot- ball games and Gym shows. But always the weekends held dancing and much en- joyment. no I could have danced all night . . Queen Sue and her Court Flowers for M'lady . . Alumni came — a few we knew, most we didn't, yet all reflected much of what we wanted to be and much of what we would become. But alumni were not all we met. especially at Winter Home- coming . . . in That first storm of the year we faced with the bravery of any six year old and we enjoyed every moment of it: having snowball fights, being thrown into monstrously high drifts, and washing bright-eyed faces with cold, wet snow. Most vividly, however, 1 still see (or rather feel!) those midnight slides down rally hill on a “much-too-thin” piece of cardboard! Inevitably, we also met snow! Skis, saucers, trays, boxes, and bruises! No clav.es today! I remember one winter — there were two activities new to campus that year . . . Snow on top of everything! Springfield' Ten Best Dressed Girls One was solely a female event — the fashion show! Donning their best outfits, ten of the girls of Abbey Hall were chosen to participate in the “Glamour Magazine contest. 114 Frosh led cheer :il Pep-O-Ruma The fellows, however, were not to he left out of the “best- dressed category. Also donning their new outfits, they became Hawaiian dancers at one of the pep rallies. But no sooner were we planning these winter activities than Spring crept in, and with it came the real Hawaii . . . 'Ve are very fortunate to have with us tonight— Hawaiian Cheerleaders? Aloha! Well, a reasonable facsimile, anyway! — for a “holiday in Hawaii” was our Junior Prom Weekend. Floats. Dances. Parties. Yes. three good Spring days! A wonderful Prom! But aside from the dance, Spring also brought something else upon its arrival at Springfield . . . A stunning Queen Watch that mulch! . . . work! Actually, it wasn't really work. Oh yes, we raked and cleaned and painted, but we also had just plain wholesome fun as well. It certainly was a full day: the band waking us up at some unearthly hour of the morning for those who liked to sleep; the barbecue supper at Freshman camp, for those who had worked all day; the dance in the evening, for those who could still move! 118 Yes, these activities added much enjoyment to our plot — to our “play” within our “play”! We learned that gaiety need not detract from the essential aspects of growth, and, indeed, we realized laughter is in itself an essential part of living. We saw that lightness could he intermingled with seriousness, and neither lose the essence of its nature. We came to know that happiness is of two types: serenity and exhuherance — and that each has its place in the acceptance of life. But there were activities which leaned more toward a serious nature than toward a lighter side. Of these, we understood the responsibilities which they gave to each of us, for with Spring came also the end of the school year, and with this came the culmination of three terms for many and the culmination of four years for others . . . 119 A lot of work ahead Exhausted from the activities of the preceding night, we never- theless always attended the ceremonies on Stepping-Up Day. Listening to the elected officers of the student body murmur their pledge of fulfillment, we also whispered pledges of respon- sibility to ourselves — for on this day we officially became members of the next class, and the Freshmen finally marched across Senior Walk, and the Seniors soon walked down the long aisle at . . . And graduation began ... Commencement. We faced the day with mingled emotions— reluctance and eagerness both churning within Concluding a fun-filled, if hectic, week of parties and picnics, interspersed with serious thoughts of the future and the deeply moving A smile, a handshake, and a beginning experience of baccalaureate, we straightened our caps, raised our heads. and proudly walked to receive our graduation certificates. I did not realize then that our diplomas lay in our hearts and in our minds, and were yet to reach our hands. A nd thus, we concluded our drama— and set out to make it merely an episode! Yes, we left— but the college remained, and each year it grew as we had grown. Even while was there... 123 And others came to help us learn ... the school celebrated its 75th Anniversary. The year held several important events which centered their attention upon the occasion at hand— 124 and many noted persons visited our campus to present their views of the Springfield concept of complete development, and to contribute their ideas to our growing store of knowledge. And we came to listen to their words this was a momentous year for Springfield and for all those cherished the ideal it fostered. It was a year for the college to reflect upon its past and plan for its future, to contemplate its fundamental principles and to reaffirm their worth, to give recognition to present beliefs and to stimulate progressive ideas. This the year in which we gave increased attention to the basic college concept and we found the ideal to be the core of the school's essense: the development of the whole man in the divided world. The phrase was repeated so often during the year that we almost lost sight of its essential meaning, but whenever we thought of a Springfield graduate working with poverty-ridden children in a Salonika YMCA, whenever we saw a Springfield alumnus standing before a classroom and fostering understanding in open, growing minds. whenever we heard of a past Springfield student receiving praise for doing the best possible in his chosen field. we knew the importance of the ideal, and we knew the pride that comes from be- longing to a school that promotes such a concept. Yes, in this anniversary year, we reflected upon Springfield's growth and contemplated the heritage we had received. Bur no contemplation of the school could overlook one of its most important aspects... 127 ...

Coach Steitz boys demonstrated their apt ability well that season, and I particularly remember the excitement of the last few minutes of the triple overtime Brown game which reaped us a 93-91 victory. Dick Strong Joe DiChiara Roger Ix ve , Butch Merten And, as tune passed, we left the echoes of dribbling balls on a wooden floor and advanced outdoors to the . . . BASEBALL field. Because Spring sports must cope with the inevitable seasonal “conse- quences” Coach Allen’s diamond players were hurt badly that year by the weather, and four straight games were rained out. Jim Stone, Conch Allen A good team, their record read 11-6-1. 1 remember passing the field each afternoon and hearing the crack of a bat, VARSITY BASEBALL First Row: R. Coaklcy. D. Schriefcr. R.

Dick Yes, sports had been important to us in those days, just as studies, and clubs, and activities had all played a part in the script. But often, aside from these broad aspects, there were also “ad-libs,” those unplanned bits of action that crept into our days and fulfilled the whim or necessity of the moment. They were just everyday things, those simple things that made up... - 151 CAMPUS DAYS These too were important to the totality of the drama; these too lent themselves to the development of our character; these too integrated the simplicity of the moment with the complexity of the future... for we could not escape the years, nor the days, nor the moments. They were ours to use, and thus, the moments were important. There were simple short-lived moments, such as cheering at a game .. . The silent cheer And complex, long-lasting minutes, as those of thoughtful contemplation To each his own . . . “Thai’s Ihc formation, girls. remember moments of watching— watching the girls drill team master its routine in its afternoon practices; 156 and after the games, looking at the candid expressions on peoples faces as they all hurried from the stands to seek warmer places, —and it could become awfully cold sitting on those bleachers! . . . and speaking of cold . . . It really was a good game! You wouldn't dare throw that snow! The winter always meant times full of the exuberance of spontaneous laughter. I remember how every snowstorm brought the excitement of the unexpected, Not another flat. I will not fall be it rolling in the snow, finding a car buried in a drift, or hitching a ride on the plow truck. But warm weather always came and with it . . . Back to back the inevitable “spring fever,” the annual sun-bathing on the roofs, the necessary work which Spring demanded . . . “I've been working . . . . . . all the live-long day” We all helped in the work and together we managed to whip the campus into a pretty presentable place for those prospective students who wandered about the school grounds every Spring term. 161 A remarkable addition to our campus And, of course, how could I forget the College Center, or “Student Union as we always called it. I remember watching the center being built and then looking with pride at the completed structure. 162 The coming of the center was an impetus to increased sociability on campus. Sometimes I spent so much time there chastised myself for being indolent, But knew that the time was not really being wasted.. . 163 So I said to him . . . And how arc you today. Angus? When we sat downstairs, we did a lot of talking over a cup of coffee or a coke. I still remember how used to walk in, survey the crowd of seated students (seeking out someone to sit with or deliver a message to), and settle down my books. Then came the perennial standing on line while waiting for the usual “BLT on toast! i Yes, it was rushing in for a quick cup of coffee in the ten minute break between classes, catching a bite to eat in the all-too-short break during that 4:15 class, and wandering in about 9:30 at night because 1 just couldn't seem to study! 165 A nd then there was checking the mail— sometimes with anticipation, sometimes with dread. Would there be THE letter? Or would the Finance office send another notice about those overdue library books? II couldn't be empty again! Well, at least he knows someone who can write. Behind the eight hall again? A nd, of course, playing pool— the games room was good relaxation for us, and many of us became quite apt at handling a cue. (We had to—loser paid for the game!) But when the need to relax had passed, and the pressure of studies came, we spent more time in the upstairs part of the Center . . . 167 And so we sit. and so we read, and so wc learn The Lounge was a good place to sit and read, or talk quietly of more serious subjects . . . . . . or think silently of important matters.

The treasure of thoughtful solitude Join me in dinner? . . . trodding the steps of Woods Hall to stand on that endless cafeteria line; walking to the library when melting snow was on the ground and it was virtually impossible to avoid stepping into a puddle; Now what books were on that list? 170 I think ou'll find it over there. working in one of the offices, helping the professors or administrative workers.

Sports Editor 173 Thus, the drama unfolded— and the ensuing conclusion culminated in further devel- opment of our complete selves. These, my son, are the college days I remember, filled with the wonder of expectation and action, failure and success, marvel- ing and mastering. 174 It was then, in those days, that I first chanced upon the deeper aspects of life ... I met Shakespeare and Dante and Homer and awed at the marvel of artistic genius setting words to melody. met Plato and Socrates and musingly questioned of immortality and love. I met Byron and Crane and empathetically felt the empty solitude of life without meaning. I encountered the doubts of Descartes, the pantheism and idealism of Spinoza, the materialism and atheism of Hobbes, and in so meeting, learned to examine, to know, and to decide upon a personal truth. I discovered the scientific wonders of man's progressive mind, and in seeking Galileo and Pasteur and Fermi I became aware of man's ability to master the mysteries of life. I heard the music of Rachmaninoff, saw the paintings of Van Gogh, read the poetry of Keats—and learned of the creative heights to which mankind can strive and reach, and I developed an aesthetic appreciation which needed no other reason for existence than beauty. I took my conversations with these great men, and I absorbed their ideas, and from these 1 developed my own concepts of life’s essense. I puzzled the eternal question “why? —and as I progresses, the mist of confusion slowly drew back, and I began to touch upon the answers ... 175 look about me now, my son, at the world and its dilemma— Secure in my complacent days, I know that the wider scope holds many to whom food is but a stranger, fear too constant a companion; laughter is a marked intruder, sorrow a well-known visitor. Dissension and distrust have scarred the hands of brother- hood. And phlegmatic souls, phlegmatic hearts have marred the essense of mans being . . . 176 am not blind, nor deaf, nor unfeeling mass of stone, and thus .. . I can not escape the sight of empty men, disheartened in a decadence wrought of others' greed. I can not avoid the stoic pain of women caught in tear- less resignation. I can not banish the mournful silence of children lost in hopeless voids. Such may be by my side and in my sight, or stretched by distance to an inner feeling of discontent. It matters not, Only that in some way I must give help, 177 but first . . . I must BE the best I can. My past has strengthened my ideal and my attempt. I have spoken, my son, of my beginning years— of those spent at college . . . They taught me not merely to act, but to act with a purpose; not merely to think, but to think with direction; not merely to live, but to live with a reason. They became the foundation for my philosophy, and they taught me to appreciate tYiat very thought. In such a manner, I became prepared to meet my present challenge: To master the challenge is my objective; to meet it with full face and full faith is my inspiration. And son, I now speak to you the words that echo in my heart, the words whispered to me on that campus long ago, the words filling Dr. Doggert's cherished prayer ... 179 May the mati wind ever before yon. and the wind be ever at your back. and nay the Lord hold you in the hollow of His hand . 181 'AS ONE THINKS AND DOES, SO HE BECOMES7 May you keep this thought in mind as you undertake the task of contributing to the total and wholesome development of mankind.
