,fwf- l 5- Vd .--1, --..., Xx .. A Message from the President There are two aspects of your university life that l ask you to think about as you look through this yearbook from time to time. First, what op- portunities did Delaware offer you while you were here, and second, what continuing con- tributions can you make to Delaware from here forward. Unless your experience is different from that of most of us, many of your richest undergrad- uate opportunities were not realized completely while you were still in school. Retrospect en- hances our understanding and appreciation. This is not unusual. It is rather an evidence of our growth and development as we draw upon the treasure of a good education. lt is to be expected that a real appreciation of the rich experience of leading a full university life can only be savored over the years after graduation. Your time at Delaware was planned as a preparation for living the rest of your life. That is why l en- courage you to look back upon it and evaluate its offering so that they may continue to serve you always. Then, l would remind you of your privilege and responsibility of retaining an actively con- structive interest in the welfare of your Univer- sity and future generations of her students. A university is, above all else, a group of people, those who teach and those who are taught. The affection and loyal support of proud and grate- ful alumni and alumnae are the rewards of those who teach. The presence of these other virtues of educated men and women within you will insure the future greatness of this University. Come back and visit on your campus as often as you can. Take an active part in your favorite campus activities. Speak a word of greeting to those of us-faculty and students-who are working here. You are always welcome at Alma Mater. Q14-461,14
