IXjq jOjtuz aiTii d jejruLZa a The events of the year 1948-49 have made a little clearer and a little sharper the issues and the unsolved problems confronting the world today. The Class of 1949 has come now to the time when these issues and problems are theirs to meet. Society will not expect you to be master of all knowledge nor to have at hand neat answers for all the problems. The store of knowledge today is so great that no single mind can comprehend any substantial part of it, and the tempo of change in conditions is so fast that the nature of specific problems is altered while we study them. What society will expect is that you be equipped with a store of significant knowledge by which you will be able to see clearly the nature of the facts in a given situation and the bear- ing each fact has on the problem at hand. You should know how to put these facts together into a meaningful pattern which will suggest a solution to be considered. You must be dis- posed intellectually to check your solution back against the facts and forward against the possibility of an even better one. You should have a deep sense of what is good and decent, and live by such values. Because you have been afforded university advantages, there is expected of you a return in more generous portions than of others. This yearbook will bring back memories of these extraordinary days. But the clock can never be turned back. When you return to the campus Tulane will be living with a new generation, studying new problems, and meeting new needs. So it has been for over a hundred years, and so it must ever be if Tulane is to be useful. I hope that as alumni you will look courageously and hopefully toward the future. Your Alma Mater does so steadily. RUFUS CARROLLTON HARRIS
