G4 dlflsssa 5 'zOm ffi Baan To the Class of 1950: 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 commence your informal education- to study the problems of life, which are not assigned from textbooks. The years you have spent here at Suffolk-that have just slipped by so quickly-are in sad fact gone, but you can just as surely and as clearly remember the many happy experiences for the remainder of your lives. Make sure you re- tain the memory of them and re-live your university days at alumni gatherings or whenever you gather with Suffolk friends. Remember, too, your university experiences, for they will take on sur- prisingly new meanings as the years pile up. You will be able to draw new in' terpretations of these experiences for strength and for encouragement. You will also enjoy the pleasures of recollection for their own sake. As happy as your undergraduate days were, far happier experiences lie ahead. Otherwise you would be working without the spirit that is derived from hope and anticipation. Our association has been of too short a time for me to look back with you over the last four years. But I do not consider this important, since four years back is a relatively short interval of time. It is at best a shadow. Consequently, we together, are forced to look ahead and that is good, for ahead is the light by which you will find your worth as creative thinkers and reasoning persons. 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, text book 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. Caste yourselves into worthy roles with respect to your pursuits, whether in work or in pleasure. But temper this role with a good degree of culture, sociability and humility. The world will always need actors who have the finest personal characteristics, initiative and creative imagination. 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. Dean, College Departments
