To the Class of 1949 Commencement this year marks the gradu- ation of the first class whose four years on campus were all post-war years. You, if you were not a veteran, entered after V-J Day. You never knew the urgency of the accelerated program, the lack of social activities of the war years, the concentration on relief work in our spare time for the refugees and needy of all countries. Some of you have accelerated by taking full schedules in the summer and many of you are veterans whose college work has been done over a period of years. To all of you congratulations and best wishes whether you have had four fairly normal col- lege years or whether you have finished by intensive work after years in the armed services. AMY REXTREW. M. A. Dean of Women JOHN F. DAUGHERTY. Ph. D. Dean of Men Your major concern right now probably is what you have gotten out of college, which is usually expressed by What job am I ready for and where is it? I would have you also consider what you have given the University of Delaware. Will its student government function better because of what you have given of your time, interest, and effort? Is the Review a better mirror of student opinion be- cause of you? Is there more serious interest in scholastic achievement? Has the sentiment toward individual responsibility for a higher ethical standard of conduct increased because of your efforts? The University is proud to have you one of its graduates. Are you proud of your University and the progress you helped it make during your four years of study? Amy Rextrew 15
