To the Members of the February Class of 1946 : This volume of the Gristette will serve as a reminder of your under- graduate days, which in many respects have been unusual. It is safe to say, I think, that no class in the history of the college has paralleled your experience. Certainly your undergraduate days have not been normal ones. Most of you are the product of wartime acceleration, and you have witnessed rapidly shifting scenes on the campus as the tide of wartime activity has ebbed and flowed. Because so many of your classmates were called away to the nation ' s service, some never to return, a special responsibility has developed upon you to maintain a program of campus life geared to the requirements of the times. This you have done well. Let me, on behalf of the college, thank you for your ready and willing cooperation and for the loyal assist- ance you have given your Alma Mater in her varied program of war service. You are graduating at a significant time. As the world emerges from the most cataclysmic struggle in history, it is crying out for enlightened leadership. We are entering upon a thrilling and a challenging age. Now you will have an opportunity to capitalize upon the years spent in study and preparation on our campus. Now you will be able to pay off your debt to the state and to former generations of Rhode Island people who made these facilities available to you. Now you will be called upon to exert the leadership of a quality so sorely needed in a disrupted world. We are con- fident you will succeed. Our abiding good will and sincere wishes will fol- low you wherever duty calls. CARL R. WOODWARD December 13, 1945.

Message to the Graduating Class ; Oh I-Iappy Day ! No more profs I No more deans! No more house- mothers! You ' re free at last and off to make your fortunes! You’ve be- come “of age” and your Alma Mater rejoices with you, envying your youth, your idealism, and your enthusiasm. It is her hope and wish that your ambitions be realized and the best of your dreams come true. As your Alma Mater says, “So long,” she would like to remind you that : (a) It takes energy to make success, (b) Many of the “American Institutions” are staffed by individuals who serve without financial reward. You are replacements for these staffs. 4 (c) The “unsung heroes” of life are more numerous than the “sung .” (d) You will always find the latch string out at Rhody. So wishing you Clod’s speed, your Kingston friends say, “Good Luck !” “Be good!” “We’ll be hearing of you!” ROBERT A. DeWO ' LF
