TO THE 1957 GRADUATES: WE SHALL NOT SOON FORGET THE CLASS OF I9S7. YOU WERE WITH US AND YOU WENT OUT FROM HERE IN THE GREAT DAYS OF TEMPLE UNIVERSITY REBUILDING. YOURS WAS THE FIRST SENIOR CLASS TO HAVE USE OF NEW CLASSROOM FACILITIES IN CURTIS HALL. YOU SAW THE ACRES WEST OF BROAD STREET GROW GREEN AND VELVET-SMOOTH FOR THE FIRST OF THE PLAYING FIELDS ON THE UNDERGRADUATE CAMPUS. OUR 112.000.000 MEDICAL CENTER WAS DEDICATED IN YOUR SENIOR YEAR. PEABODY HALL, BEAUTIFUL AND MODERN RESIDENCE FOP WOMEN. REPLACED THE ROW HOUSES AND COMMERCIAL ESTABLISHMENTS ON NORRIS STREET. YOUR CLASS HAD A PART IN THIS GROWTH. AND I WANT YOU TO HAVE A CONTINUING SENSE OF PARTNERSHIP IN THE GREATER DEVELOPMENT THAT IS AHEAD. LIKE THE UNIVERSITY. YOU ALSO ARE TURNING A PAGE IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL LIVES. YOU ARE OPENING A NEW CHAPTER OF DEVELOPMENT LOOKING TO BROADER HORIZONS AND GREATER USEFULNESS. WE EXPECT TO BE PROUD OF YOU AS WE WANT YOU TO BE PROUD OF US. I HOPE YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS WILL LET THE UNIVERSITY HAVE A SHARE OF THEIR INTEREST IN YOUR GROWTH. YOU BELONG TO US. TOO. 15
