Your choice of the theme, for the i960 Knoll was influenced, no doubt by the changes and growth that you have observed in your four years here. Does it also represent your hopes and expectations for the future of your college? We, the faculty, would be greatly en- couraged to know that you share our vision of the Lowell State Teachers College of tomorrow. A loyal and active alumni can do much to foster the growth of any institution. Lowell has need for more ac- tive members in its Graduates Association. You can contribute to the future progress of your college by add- ing your active support to the alumni. As you take your place in your classroom next fall you are not only beginning your own career but you are adding to the fine record our graduates have made in the teaching profession. You and your college will be judged by your work with the children you teach. Be loyal and true to yourself and to this college by doing your very best work always. May you continue to progress in the pattern begun here at Lowell and may this college always be proud to claim you as a graduate. Dr. Mary E. McGauvran DR. MARY E. McGAUVRAN B.S.Ed., State Teachers College at Lowell Ed.M., Ed.D., Boston University Dean of Women Director of Admissions DR. JOHN J. FISHER A.B., St. John ' s University A.M., Ed.M., Columbia University Dean of Men Director of Extension Studies What shall I teach? In our profession there can be but one answer. You will teach the truth and nothing but the truth. You have dedicated your lives to the discovery and transmission of the truth. What is true is morally good even though it may not be what the crowd wants or even tolerates. What is good and true is determined by objective laws as immutable as the stars. You will work in a society in which values constantly change. In such a society truth is often hard to find. To many, what is good or true is determined by the num- bers or power of those accepting it. If you march with the crowd and conform to their standards you too will corrupt the truth and betray your profession. You will teach the eternal, unchanging truth and nothing but the truth. Dr. John J. Fisher I S: V 9

In our world of tomorrow we need brains. America cannot settle for mediocrity, intellectually. An intel- lectual elite will be established and you must seek mem- bership. Bonuses will be available to the imaginative thinker. If you have faith in this future, there will al- ways be an America. Marguerite Gourville MARGUERITE L. GOURVILLE B.S.Ed., Marywood College A.M., Boston University Director of Student Teaching and Placement Chairman of Professional Education DR. EDWARD F. GILDAY A.B., A.M., New York University D.Mus.A., Boston University Chairman of Music Education Much of our study must necessarily be an act of faith — faith in ourselves, in our teachers, and in the future. No insurance policy, no portfolio of stocks and bonds can purchase the kind of security inherent in a sound education. Our future may well depend upon what we learn today, from yesterday. Dr. Edward F. Gilday
