foreword 1 1 is rather difficult in the year 1961 to bring a mes- sage of universal assurance to our graduates as other editors have done in past years. These are unusual times and any attempt to project into the years ahead with rose-colored glasses would be sheer folly. We live in a period that appears to be shaping new dimensions, new outlooks, new horizons, yet we find it impossible to exude the same confidence and optimism that has characterized URI graduates for many decades. We confess that we are at a loss to know how to anticipate the events of the future. In any event, the 1961 GRIST has been compiled and takes its place among the yearbooks that have recorded the history and activities of our university. We have tried to make an interesting book without losing the flavor of tradition and simplicity that has marked other volumes of class memoirs. Despite our cautious foreword and our general anxiety concerning the future, we are confident that URI graduates will meet the challenges of the times. It is our problem to secure a sense of order and stabil- ity in the future that confronts us and at the same time to fulfill the design of our personal lives. For inspiration we submit the following lines from Words- worth: “—Whom neither shape of danger can dismay, —Nor thought of tender happiness betray; — Who, not content that former worth stand fast, — Looks forward, persevering to the last, — From well to better, daily self-surpast: — Who, whether praise of him must walk the earth —Forever, and to noble deeds give birth, — Or he must fall, to sleep without his fame, —And leave a dead unprofitable name — —Finds comfort in himself and in his cause; kingston, rhode island
