Farewell Seniors and may you always fare well. It is never pleasant to have friends depart from active associations and go into the realm of memory — ever a happy memory. But it is perfectly natural for the closest of friends, sooner or later, to travel divergent paths. Conse- quently, we must accept it and accommodate our thinking to it. While some take the high road and some take the low road our fond memories are constant traveling companions. These memories will be a source of strength and comfort during the quieter hours of reflection and recollection. One happy thought, though, is that you have attained a high degree of proficiency in your training and you are well qualifed to commence your life ' s work when the first opportunity presents itself. Be assured that the details of your course work — which you memorized for examinations — will be comparatively of little value to you. The real im- portant things are the broad principles and concepts which you unconsciously wrought into your character and philosophy of life. Ultimately this is the work- ing principle of university education. Your practical education commences with graduation — when you are freed from stereotype classroom procedures. Don ' t be hesitant in revealing your desirable personal characteristics to others. Learn to unfold yourself in the way that will best present your finest qualities — in the whole realm of living with people. You will be happier, more content, less restless, more successful. I shall ever remember that 1, — after a fashion — entered Suffolk along with members of the class of ' 52. You made it pleasant to travel along with you. Tare you well, after the departure at the fork of the roads. (loM it p. Muhcc Dean College Departments
