PRESIDENT AND MRS. PAUL L. BOYNTON PRESIDENT OF S FA To each of the 1953 graduates we wish to extend our warmest congratulations for having done a good job, and our sincerest hopes for a profitable, wholesome, active, and enjoyable life in the years which lie ahead. To the families and friends of all we wish to express our appreciation for the efforts which you have expended to help these, our grad- uates, learn much and live well during their sojourn with us. College graduation is an event which all of us approach with mixed emotions each time. We who have been so fortunate as to be permitted to work and associate with those of the graduating classes naturally regret to see them leave. It means a severing of personal ties, a loss of pleasant and satisfying daily contacts. Yet we have a fullness of pride at each commencement season in seeing our newest group achieve long-sought goals, and attain merited recognition as trained, qualified citizens and leaders. To you who are graduating we say, We hate to see you leave these forty acres, but we are thrilled at the opportuni- ties which are yours, opportunities which you have earned and for which we know that you are qualified. So SFA bids you adieu with confidence, and pride, and with the hope that through the years you will want to visit us often, and will look back on the College as your home away from home. PAUL L. BOYNTON

His entire life has been dedicated to improving the minds of young people, and it is he who has guided S.F.A. to its present high scholastic standards. It can truthfully be said that Dr. Birdwell is really Mr. S.F.A.
