AINT PAUL’S K pOLLEGE LAWRENCEVILLE VIRGINIA 23868 OFFICE OF THE DEAN December 15, 1970 Dear Graduate: Although this letter is written well in advance of your graduation, I address you as Graduate because by the date that the Tiger is delivered to you, you will indeed be a graduate of Saint Paul ' s College. I congratulate you on your accomplishment, but I want you to know that the receiving of a degree is but an indication of the responsibility that you face after the diploma has been placed in your hand. Tour college and the world in which you will move will expect, and rightfully so, a contribution to the social order. Tour degree will be conferred with all the rights and privi¬ leges , but I want you to understand that with the rights and privileges must go obligations , or the degree will be of no value. Your degree will signify that you have developed skills and that you have accumulated knowledge. It must also signify that you have developed the ability to do critical thinking. Today there is much strife not only between the nations of the world, but between individuals. There is a great need for a mediating force, and you must be an important part of this force if the differences which exist between individuals, races, and nations are to be resoIved. I wish for you every success, and I look forward to learning of the contribution that I hope you will make toward the upward move of mankind. incerely yours, Dean of the College - T ' tn ' t THEJ:opw
