The Class of 1959 is going out only a handspan or two ahead of the largest influx of students into the colleges in the history of education. We shall have need of the space you are occupy- ing and more. Even so, we are sorry to have you go. That is true of every class, of course, yet we have a special feeling about your departure. You were with us in one of the periods of our greatest growth. You saw the completion of our new Medical Center, of our Law School and Law Library, of our undergradute classroom building, Curtis Hall; of our womenls residence, Peabody Hall. You saw the opening of our playing fields and parking areas on Broad Street. You saw our Science Building rising from the rubble of Park Avenue row houses. That is not all, and much more is still ahead. But when Temple University has become what it someday shall be, your class will be able to remem- ber it as it was. I hope the recollection Will be one of pride, for you will be the bridge between our future and our past. As you leave, take with you our blessing. May the paths along which your destinies direct you be pleasant ways and useful. President
