Cultivate your avocations; vocations usually take care of themselves. The breadth and depth of your avocations illuminate your personality. Your use of lei- sure time can be the difference between a dull life and a full one, a narrow vision and a broad one. Buona for- tuna. EDWARD F. GILDAY Professor, Chairman of Music Education B.S.

To the English majors, Class of 1964: There are still real and imaginary worlds to conquer. WILLIAM C. BURTO Professor, Chairman of English Education A.B., Colgate University A.M., Ph.D., Harvard University What Franklin D. Roosevelt said many years ago could very well be applied to you: To some generations much is given; of other generations much is expected. This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny! You live at one of the most provocative moments in the history of the United States and of the world. You represent an affluent, eco- nomic and intellectual society in the midst of world poverty in both these areas. These benefits are not to be hoarded but must be freely spent. You must be architects of a bold new world — a world free from ignorance, tyranny, poverty, disease and war. You must be commit- ted to the cause of freedom and liberty at home and abroad. You must fight bigotry, hatred and misunderstanding with love and knowl- edge. Your lives must be a profile in courage. WILLIAM H. MALONE Professor, Chairman of Science Education B.S., Ed.M., Boston College Ed.D., Boston University PATRICIA A. GOLER Professor, Chairman of History Education A.B., Regis College A.M., Ph.D., Boston College To those of you yclept Leaertes, No Polonius I; to those who wonder If. Call me not Rudyard; to those who youthfully seek advice from age, seek not, there is nothing there but failure of youth- ful ideals. So what can I advise: laugh; at yourself, laugh at the sad perversities of unkind fates, laugh at the somber visaged, the pseudo serious, the apostles of catastrophe, laugh for laughter is truly the music of the soul. 16
