In the Old Testament Book of Joshua, the Israelites received a message which is timely for each ot us at St. Andrews today. It read And I hove given you a land for which you did not labor and cities which you did not build, and you dwell in them. So it is with us. We hove dwelled on this campus, learned in this College, which was made available to us by the work of others. Each time I stroll through the halls and along the pathways of our campus, I am reminded of both the heritage and the possibilities of St. Andrews. Certain objects and favored places evoke memories and stir fond hopes. The bell tower is one such facet. The ringing of the beautiful bells is a reminder of the passage of time and its entourage of changes. Each bell ' s particular tone resonates with on alluring individuality and the cdrillon ' s melody, echoing over the lake, beckons us to strive for harmony and peace — person with person, nation with nation, people with nature. Even as we step on triggered door mats and amble up wheeli ramps, we rarely pause to ponder St. Andrews ' dedication to accessibility But. what a symbol we have in these facilities! St. Andrews has strived to ensure that not only physical structures but also ideds ore accessible to all. Our community has endeavored to provide each member an open pathway to ideas, foreign lands, and far-reaching dreams. And, dll these notions spring from our heritage as a college of the church- Though we seldom see the mosaic in the Liberal Arts building as anything more than a colorful blur in passing, our pace is sometimes slow enough tor us to notice that it displays important milestones of our heritage. The events and ideals behind these judiciously arranged fragments of tile tell the story of our Judeo-Christian religious heritdge and of our Western civilization. They also contain the foundation for our future as a people, for they blend faith and knowledge, obligation and opportunity. That mosaic can be a great inspiration to all who contemplate it. The graffitti wall is one element of our campus which tew of us ever take for granted. The wall reminds us of controversy, humor, social gatherings, relationships, and politics. The thoughts and events of one season are constantly displaced by the new ideas and happenings of another. Yet, the wall itself remains, both as a symbol of another era and as a torum for current, open expression. Finally, the entire St. Andrews campus, indeed the College itself, is a testimony to the value both of firm adherence to principle and of judicious cooperation. St. Andrews owes its existence to the merging of Flora Macdonald College dnd Presbyterian Junior College, each of which grew out of dedication to the principle that the Presbyterian Church must be about the business of education. The union of those two colleges required compromise and cooperation, for it brought together persons from different communities who were asked to set forth in new directions. Those of you who ore members of the Class of 1987 are about to move in new directions as you leave this campus which you hove called home for several years. No longer will you be hurrying by the bell tower, the wheelie romps, the LA mosaic or the wall, or moving about the other parts of this beautiful campus. But the memories, the friendships and the benefits of your time here will remain. When you reflect on St. Andrews, the people ond the place, I hope that you will remember the spirit and the ideals upon which your college was founded. Remember also that you have lived in cities which you did not build and enjoyed a place for which you did not labor. So, while remembering the heritage and those gifts which were prepared for you by others, I urge you to keep in mind also the future possibilities for the College. Always seek to build this special place for the next generation of students. Ours is a dynamic heritage. Remember to pass it on Best wishes . . . and thanks! A. P.
