 Farewell Message from President Nance It always seems appropriate to me that our major com- mencement ceremonies come in the springtime when nature is performing her perennial miracles of revival, renascence and resurrection. Certainly everyone knows that the mind and heart of our nation are receiving new life and inspiration, fresh courage and new ideals through such dedicated young ladies and gentlemen as you who are graduating in the June Class of 1952. Dr. Ellwood C. Nance President of tho University, whose untiring efforts ond devotion ore predominant in the existence of the B University today. We hope, of course, that the seeds of learning, planted in your fertile minds, will bear fruit that will contribute toward the healing and restoration of our sick and weary world. We also hope that the years which you have spent here will always be pleasant and inspiring memories, and that you will return to them, in reflection, for wisdom and courage to solve what problems may seem to hinder your personal or professional progress. May God bless and use you for the enrichment and the welfare and progress of humanity. Sincerely, Dr. Ellwood C. Nance
