from the president . . . LUX ET FIDES TO THE CLASS OF 1962: There is something wonderfully positive and healing about light. With the dawn- ing of each day new courage, hopes, and aspirations are born. The rising sun lifts the black gauze of gloom and fatigue from weary spirits. Let there be light. This is at once the condition of all life and progress in both the physical and spiritual realms. .Goethe once stated that the prime prerequisite needed in dis- cussing debatable questions was more light and less heat. The Christian life is conceived in faith, ft is lived through faith and ends glori- ously in faith. Faith gives resolve and stability and extends one ' s spiritual horizon. It is faith that keeps one going when all else fails. Faith in a cause and in one ' s fellow men gives meaning and moral fiber to life. Society at large expects, and rightly so, that Taylor University graduates be edu- cated, poised individuals with a concern for true progress. And society is likewise surprised when such is not the case. Colleges are judged more by their products —graduates— than by their publicity. Yours is the privilege of being the light of the world, reflecting the Faith of our Fathers adapted and applied to this present age your high calling to fulfill. May you shine on and on and on until that eternal Day! Lux et Fides is the motto of Taylor University and may it be our motto individually and collectively! ' B. Joseph Martin President 20
