im In Mark Conley’s play, “Green Pastures”, the angel Gabriel is depicted as looking down from the battlements of heaven on earth’s confusion and turmoil. He comments, “Everything nailed down is com¬ ing loose.” This might well be a description of the contemporary world. Many of the floor boards of our society have come loose and the standards and values that were once considered so basic to the good life, seem so no longer. It is into this new kind of world you will go as graduates to live out your life. One should not, however, allow oneself to be so caught up in the changing scene as to espouse change for its own sake. It does not follow that because many disregard the basic tenets that have under¬ gird the past, that the future will confirm their opinion. There are unchangeables or “nailed down truths” that still remain. You do not argue, for instance, with the multiplication table. In like manner there should be no essential quarrel with the enduring qualities of goodness, beauty, moral courage, honesty and personal integrity. These are some foundations upon which every life may be built with assurance. It is our hope that your College education will help you bring whatever knowledge you have gained into re¬ lationship with these essential qualities. You will then be able to confront the ever fluctuating pattern of life so as to make some enduring contribution. The world needs those who are obsessed with the pursuit of new ideas, new theories, new ways of working and with a zeal for adventure. However, these qualities must also be accompanied by a basic integrity of purpose which will provide that moral courage necessary to remain true to that which is known to be essential and enduring. You cannot expect an easy conquest in life, but my hope is that conquest you will have, and that you will also find the joy and satisfaction that comes from purposeful living. PRINCIPAL 10
