Tulane University - Jambalaya Yearbook (New Orleans, LA)

It scarcely seems fashionable these days to be optimistic about the future. At the risk of being considered out of style, I am optimistic. The reason for my faith is a peculiar confidence in the purpose and ability of American college youth. I believe college men and women have today a greater concern for the world ' s problems, and their own too, than ever before. I believe they are resolved to employ generally a more mature and sober attitude in their encounter with them. This is chiefly the hope of mankind, for the future of the world largely depends upon the wisdom and vigor of America ' s course, and day by day that course is being charted in our colleges and univer- sities. Their graduates include most of the leaders of government, in- dustry and business, and virtually all the professions. It is a paradox to suggest that our democracy must establish an aristocracy. It will become perhaps the first true aristocracy in the world — a leadership by those best qualified through education and training. I believe this paradoxical arrangement assures us a brighter future Ihan Is fashionable now to predict. This yearbook provides addi- tional manifestation of it. i arrollton J c amA - W m ! jfi - j i . dm

The JAMBALAYA staff feels honored in dedicating the 1950 JAMBALAYA to a man who con- tributes a vital part to student life in all its aspects on the Tulane cannpus. • To his boys in Tulane ' s band, he is known and loved as The Chief; to peo- ple in the intercollegiate nnusic world he is recognizezd as one of the leaders; and to musicians everywhere he is known as a fine composer and director. • To us, at Tulane, he is the man with the band and is held in highest re- gard. With this in mind we respectfully dedicate the 1950 JAMBALAYA to John J. Morrisey. 1 1 1 n u r n
