STEVENS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY CASTLE POINT STATION HOBOKEN, NEW JERSEY OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT Gentlemen: Very soon now, you and I will shake hands as you are presented with your hard-won Stevens diploma at the 1963 Commencement, the ninety- first one in the history of your alma mater. As part of the ceremony, you will hear me officially “welcome you into the company of educated men. As young engineers or scientists what does this mean to members of the Institute's graduating class of 19637 What is your role in the society that you will in due course inherit? Il suggest an engineer-scientist in your generation, if he is to attain an eventual leadership position, must be more - much more - than a specialist. He must first understand himself, and then relate the significance of his engineering-science activities to the world in which he must live. He must know the attitudes, motivations, and philosophies of the many other facets of society. He must see to it that there is a proper understanding and appreciation on the part of all citizens of the implications of technical developments. Because of your education and your proven potential, it is natural that others will look to you for leadership. You will find this in both your professional and personal lives. Assuming such responsibilities is a Stevens tradition. I am confident you will successfully deal with these challenges as you encounter them. Maintaining a close and affectionate relationship with your alma mater is also a Stevens tradition. Be assured that wherever the vagaries of life may take you, you will always find a warm welcome awaiting you whenever you return to Castle Point. All of us at Stevens join in wishing you success and happiness, and in expressing the hope that you will come back to visit whenever you can. Sincerely, J. H. Davis President
