THUS-we are prepared . . . As OUR COLLEGE CAREER draws to a close, we acquire an understanding of the transition we have undergone during the past four years and the way in which this transition has fitted us for our future. We now must exchange our membership in this educational community for one of far greater responsibility. Our exper- iences at Pennsylvania have given us the skills . . some face the crises of domesticity to face the world with confidence, and we stand ready to assume our role in society. Nevertheless, the bond which has held us together at the University will not weaken as we pursue our diverse occupations, and we shall hold an increasing feeling of gratitude toward the institution which has permitted, facilitated, and witnessed our growth. In the near future some of us look forward to military service . . . . . . some will enter specialized professions

Dedication IN TODAY,S WORLD of conflicting forces and values, when the mind of man is playing a vital role in the current of history and the need for liberal education is more widespread than ever before, it is essential that outstanding men, dedicated to the highest ideals, guide the edu- cational policy of our colleges and universities. Pennsylvania is extremely fortunate to have such a man adminis- tering her programs. Now in his second year as President of the University, Dr. Gaylord P. Harnwell is winning new supporters for the University on all fronts. A wise and capable leader, possessing a warm personality and a singleness of purpose, he constantly seeks to encourage greater effort in scholarship and research. In the words of President Harnwell, The future of our great nation is best assured in the hands of a well and broadly educated citizenry who can provide the skills, the knowledge, and the vision to follow our common ideals. Our efforts here at Pennsylvania are motivated by this good cause which lies before us. We, the undergraduates of the University of Pennsylvania, do hereby gratefully dedicate thisl1955 RECORD to DOCTOR GAYLORD P. HARNWELL
