MESSAGE TO THE CLASS OF 1955 Fours years ago, when you asked me to be your advisor, I said that it would be both a privilege and a pleasure to work with you. Now, four years later, I can say that it was all of that and more. It has been a wonderful experience to have watched you at work and at play, to have shared your plans and accomplishments, to have admired the good grace with which you ' ve met adversities. We have shared four years of phenomenal growth of your college; years that have seen an in- crease in the number of students, in student activities, in the number of faculty, and in physical facilities, culminating in your being graduated from a fine new building. Most important of all, you yourself have grown and show promise of such future growth that I, as a Teacher, can return the invitation you extended to me, and proudly ask, Will you be one of us? Each year you have sung a prize-winning song to your advisor. Now, with a full heart, he can reply, I love you too, thank you for everything.

TO YOU - - MR. MALONE We have shared both pain and pleasure, dilemma and delight, during our association; this we remember. We recall and cherish the fun, the frolic, the laughs, the love that typifies our relationship. In grateful ap- preciation for all that you have done for us, as a class and as individuals, we humbly but sincerely dedicate to you this lasting record of our four years together at Lowell. May it serve in future years to make the past as the present, and bring us again close to you. Whether it be five, fifteen, or fifty years hence, our sentiments will remain as they are now— WE LOVE MALONE

t me. m STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE AT LOWELL And the child grew and waxed strong, full of wisdom; and the grace of God was in him. Education is a discipline, an intellectual discipline which makes men at once servants of God, and masters of Themselves. True educational progress, therefore, consists not merely of Learning, but also of Thought and Reason exercised upon Knowledge. As New- man defined it, the real aim of education is the clear, accurate vision and comprehension of all things, as far as the finite mind can embrace them, each in its place, and with its own characteristics upon it. Progress consists not in preserving the mean, but in aiming at a high, an aim never fully achieved but never fully abandoned. We have all rejoiced to see how you have grown and waxed strong in the past four years. May the grace of God continue with you as you grow in the future, wherever you go from this place.
