PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE Dr. Penfield, world-famous Canadian neurologist, speaking in Winnipeg late in February of this year, said “the primary function of education is to open the windows of the mind”. There is something very refreshing about this statement because it is so simple and yet so suggestive. It implies that the process of edu¬ cation is essentially that of enabling a person to see what he has not seen; to discern where he has not discerned and to understand where he has not under¬ stood. This process results in the pushing back of the frontiers of human knowledge and of extending human horizons so that a person is able to think clearly, to judge wisely and to act creatively. I hope that your time at United has brought you this kind of experience. I trust that windows have been opened that have enabled you to understand bet¬ ter the nature of the world in which you live, so that you appreciate more fully the wonder and mystery of life itself. 1 hope you have looked through windows so as to comprehend the great ideas of men before you, to have seen the visions they have seen and so to have found inspiration and encouragement from their achievements. 1 trust that windows have been opened so that you are now able to look upon those of other races and creeds and to see all men, irrespective of differences, as your equals and your brothers. Perhaps most important of all, I hope you have had some vision of the larger and nobler purposes that under¬ gird our human existence so that you have come to a deeper understanding of your own mission and destiny in life. What we have been able to do for you in College has perhaps been very limited. We have helped open some windows. We have tried to point you where you will find truth and understanding. You, however, have had to be willing to look, to search for meaning and above all, to lay claim to what awaits you be¬ yond any new horizon. Only through self-conscious disciplined effort on your part, have you been able to gain from the opportunities that have been provided. I hope that you will now match that effort by a passionate desire to use all the gifts and talents that life has given you to enrich the age in which you live. When you go from this college, keep alive your desire to ' know and to apprehend truth and never at any time, surrender your concern to remain sensitive and aware of the larger claims of life upon you.
