bean tjf GERTRUDE D. PEABODY. Dean of Women To the 1958 Graduate: Our warmest good wishes go with you as you move from Temple University into new responsibilities. We expect to be proud of every one of you. We shall miss you all. We shall miss, especially, the distinguished group of students selected as outstanding by their associates and featured in this issue of the Templar. They are fine representatives of your class and we are very proud of them. However, among the hundreds of graduates whose photographs ap- pear in this book, there are many others who will be sorely missed in special areas of the University in academic departments, where they have made a solid contribution as superior students and in dozens of individuals interest spots such as athletics, music, drama, publications, or Greek affiliation. We urge you, as alumni, to keep close to these interest groups, for a time, but ask you not to be distressed by inevitable changes in personnel and in emphasis. Because there is danger of dropping out of everything when you find yourself a bit out of step with undergraduate en- thusiasms, it is extremely important to have an active affilia- tion with the University through the general Alumni Associa- tion. The University needs your support and you need the backing of this great University. We want you to note with pride the physical changes which are already beginning to show and to continue to be proud of the unique charac- teristics which make Temple University something other than the typical large urban institution. God bless you, everyone. GERTRUDE PEABODY Dean of Women EABODY VJ TO THE CLASS OF 1958 At the turn of the century, when only about 4 per cent of the young men and women of our country went on to col- lege, a college degree was surely a mark of distinction. Today when more than 30 per cent of your contemporaries are attending college, possession of a college degree does not automatically place one in such a small company of elite. Indeed, in a world of very rapid technological and cultural change, advanced education, once a privilege, is becoming a necessity. It is your good fortune that society has great need for people with skills such as those you have been developing during your years at the University. Those of us in education are extremely thankful that such rich opportunities await our graduates. In addition to our responsibility to provide you with the opportunity to acquire a good education, we feel great obligation to our entire society to provide it with the keen minds that will be needed to cope with the ever increasing complex of social and technological problems so charac- teristic of our era. The unbounded optimism of earlier generations of Ameri- cans rested upon seemingly inexhaustible geographical frontiers and material opportunities. The frontiers open to you today are less tangible and demand mental resourceful- ness and creativity. We hope that in the process of acquir- ing your degree your wits have been sharpened. We hope that your appetites are whetted for the kinds of challenges which await you. . . CARL M. GRIP, Dean of Men CARL M. GRIP Dean of Men 16
