The UNIVERSITY

Page 13 text:

I o the CLASS of 1956: if When you arc graduated, the University will be just ten years old. In the history of the institution these first ten years will no doubt be spoken of as pioneering years devoted to the work of establishing a university in this territory. You have had a part in this pioneer work. ★ Some later classes no doubt will have the advantage of greater equipment and material resources, but there are also advantages in pioneering. You and your predecessors and colleagues have built and established with the University many of its codes, traditions, institutions, and methods. I hope that the strength and independence of character and judgment which you have developed in this pioneer work will more than make up for the lack of material resources which we would have liked to place at your disposal. if We wish for you great success in carrying out all of your high resolves and purposes. B. F. ASHE PRESIDENT
