THE FUTURE AWAITS YOU Four years ago, it was pleasant to welcome you to the University and to look forward, with you, to a happy and profitable college experience. Now it is a privilege to congrat- ulate you on the accomplishment and aca- demic proficiency you have attained during your sojourn at Suffolk. ' 0 During your years here, Sputnik sud- denly appeared and faded, and in so doing, cleared the air so that we may have a better chance to observe new frontiers and to view the world from a different position. Yes, the atmosphere is cleared but the per- plexities and problems may have been mul- tiplied. History has taught us that our vision into the problems and perplexities of the future is of short range and of narrow scope — because, within a few hours the old order can change and techniques can become obsolete. New and more perplexing situations that challenge our potential, suddenly develop. While the old order changes, the funda- mentals and basic principles of all activities persist with very little change. The adapta- tions of the principles change and it is the adaptations to which one must adjust. But good adjustment to the changes comes through the understanding of fundamental principles. You are about to come to cross- roads. To help you determine the direction you should follow, refer back to your funda- mentals of knowledge which you learned at Suffolk. Along with congratulations, farewells are in order. In going out from an active life at your Alma Mater, be sure to remember your classmates and plan to participate with your classmates in alumni affairs. As graduates of Suffolk University, University activities will not be as great but they will be of tre- mendous importance to you. It will be pleasant to greet you as Alumni at your first class reunion. Farewell and fare- you-well. Robert J. Munce President May 18, 1959
