Charles J. Armstrong The past two academic years have brought many changes to the campuses of American col- leges and universities. There has been turmoil and upheaval. Old ideas are being discarded; new ones carefully examined. Students have become activists. They have sought and supported im- portant causes outside of the University and they have made their thoughts and their ideas felt widely throughout our country. Students are no longer the silent generation. They have pro- claimed their belief in the value of active partici- pation in the pressing concerns of our society and of our world. Despite the fact that not all of the results of this new spirit of student activism have been con- structive or beneficial to the universities con- cerned or to the society which they serve, we in the University of Nevada can take pride and gratification in the fact that on both campuses of our University such student activities have been constructive and motivated by a sincere desire to promote the best interests of the University as an agent for the propagation of knowledge and the advancement of good learning for the benefit of society and of our way of life. For those of you who graduate this year, we in the University have tried to insure that your quality of maturity is fully functioning before you encounter the new challenges which lie ahead of you. In turn, we hope that you have accepted your obligation to understand the challenge of life in the University; to appreciate the vitality, depth, and breadth of your University experience. This entire experience is meaningless unless you have fully participated in it and I believe that you have done so. Your future is bright with promise and the challenge of a constantly changing world. We trust that you will continue to be activists in this world and to participate fully in it. Only in this way can you bring to reality the full potential of what you have learned here. You carry with you our best wishes and our highest hopes. THE PRESIDENT OF UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA 21

In your quest for higher education, you have demon- strated your belief that you must be prepared for the tremendous tasks which lie ahead and in so doing, you have shown continued devotion to our state and to our country. I have been very proud of you this year, for you have shown maturity of thought and character in many ways. You have accepted the growing pains your University is experiencing — and you have done so in good will. You have welcomed many students from other lands with the open arm of friendship. And you have carried on the fine traditions of your University. The statement that the Struggle in which we are now engaged will be won or lost in the classrooms of America, is as true now as when our late President John F. Kennedy uttered it. Only now, the struggle of the free world has become greater. I am confident that you students of the University of Nevada will not tire in your search for knowledge and that you will, during your lifetimes, demonstrate your understanding of man ' s problems. And, while you are preparing for your life ' s work, I have faith that you will keep the heartbeat of our University strong. Grant Sawyer GOVERNOR OF NEVADA Grant Sawyer Governor of Nevada 20
