Suffolk University - Beacon Yearbook (Boston, MA)

To the graduating seniors: There is an old Chinese saying: If you are planning for one year, plant rice. If you are planning for 10, plant trees. If you are planning for 100 years, educate men and women. Suffolk University is planning for 100 years. Curricula may change over time, but our objective remains constant — to provide successive generations with knowledge and ideas. You are part of a great stream of students, almost 30,000, who have found and continue to find at Suffolk University a capacity for growth — physical, intellectual, professional, and social growth — for a lifetime. Your teachers have become your mentors and your peers friends. The city of Boston has become an extension of our Beacon Hill campus. It is my hope that you will continue to use these resources and will support them conscientiously. Suffolk University takes pride in the academic achievements of its students. As President of the University, I share in that pride and congratulate you for what you have accomplished. When you graduate and launch your careers, you will join other Suffolk alumni who play an important role in the fabric of metropolitan Boston. My best wishes to you all. Sincerely, Daniel H. Perlman President
