Z)ke BEACON 1956 A PUBLICATION OF THE COLLEGE DEPARTMENTS SUFFOLK UNIVERSITY BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS CONGRATULATIONS To the Class of 1956: As graduating seniors, you are to be heartily congratulated for the success you have thus far achieved and for the proficiency you have attained in your formal education. You are now ready to com- mence your informal education — to study the problems of life, which are not assigned from textbooks. Remember your university experiences, for they will take on sur- prisingly new meanings as the years pile up. You will be able to draw new interpretations of these experiences for strength and for encour- agement. You will also enjoy the pleasures of recollection for their own sake. Recall the attitudes developed in your days at Suffolk, but do not try to remember the detail of what was said or done in the formal classroom sessions. The classroom, textbook and instructor are but symbols of a restricted and guided life of preparation and of promise. The fulfillment comes when you commence to think big, talk to the point and perform well in the world of affairs and of people. I shall more than merely congratulate you and wish you well in your future endeavors. I will always rejoice with you in your success, happiness and abundant life. President President Robert J.

In 1914 the school was chartered with degree-granting powers by the Legislature of Mas- sachusetts. Educational facilities have been expanded in the belief that train- ing in the liberal arts and science is an integral part of a balanced edu- cation. The College of Liberal Arts was founded in 1934, the Graduate School of Law in 1935, the College of Journalism in 1936, and the College of Business Administration in 1937. The various departments were incorporated by the Massachusetts Legislature in April 1937. Suffolk University, although primarily a day-time institution, was the first college in New England at which a student might earn a Bachelor of Arts degree entirely through evening study. Physical growth of the University was accompanied by professional recognition: Suffolk is a member of the New England Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. The College Departments are ap- proved by the Board of Collegiate Authority, Department of Educa- tion, Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Law School is approved by the Massachusetts Bar Association and by the American Bar Associa- tion. The Veterans Administration approves all courses for GI benefits. Located on Beacon Hill, directly behind the State House, Suffolk University provides excellent accommodations for educational work. In the University building are the Executive and Administrative offices; University Library; classrooms; completely equipped and modern la- atories for biology, chemistry, geology, and physics; University Audi- torium; Bookstore; and appropriate lounges for students. Although the physical equipment of a university is important, the quality of its educational program is even more significant. The true measure of a university is reflected in the record of its graduates. Early in its history, Suffolk University gained recognition for the quality of its faculty and the success of its graduates. Judges, lawyers, business- men, educators, and leaders in political and civic life owe their ad- vancement to the quality of training received at Suffolk University.

TY. - i J ' II J When ty (SlaHH Will We, the omnipotent Seniors of the Class of 1956, hoping that we are about to graduate from, leave, or otherwise be evicted from this institution of learning, Suffolk University, suffering from an overdose of education, being faced with the cruel vicissitudes of life, and trust- ing that we are of sound and disposing mind, therefore not acting under duress, fraud, or undue influence of any persons whatsoever, have banded together to draw up this, our last will and testament, so that we may dispose of our sacred possessions which have been accumulated during our 4 (?) year term. To Miss Mac we leave regrets for our unpaid bills. To President Munce we give our thanks for 4 years of priceless knowledge. To the Faculty we leave excuses for not having our work in on time. To the lower classmen we leave our crib sheets and methods of doing less work for better marks (method will be found on latter page). President Pete Beatrice leaves his headaches to Russ Mahoney with a year ' s supply of Bufferin. To the custodians, the Class of ' 56 leaves hopes that future students don ' t write on the walls. Having thus disposed of all our wordly goods and possessions, we the graduating class of 1956 of Suffolk University, do hereby deliver our last will and testament into the hands of the oncoming seniors ' president. So, as we embark upon the world beyond the degree, this most solemn document is now witnessed by these venerable and revered. 3n llttnrflB tljfrrnf: S. U.
