re ee ee ee? OUR PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Dear Graduates of 1958: The graduating classes of this June will be the first in the Space Era. Our mental frontiers have been extended no less than our physical frontiers, and the times in which you step out into the world are enor- mously challenging and exciting. Let us examine the challenge. We have the most majestic public school system in the world. Our stand- ards of public education are such as no other country has ever attempted, much less ever achieved. Whether the American dream is a nightmare is a question which some people are raising, for at the very moment of our achievement the country was shocked by the tremendous feat of the Russians in the scientific area, and people today are asking with grimness as they never did before: “Is America really accomplishing its purposes, or has it failed to achieve anything but a genial confermity in an amiable vacuity?” One thing that we are all agreed upon is that the people of this country can have any kind of schools they want to achieve any kind of specific purposes that they agree upon because the schools are a complete reflection of the wishes of the community and the long-range desires of the people. If there is a conflict be- tween what is taught in the schools and what is wanted in the community, it is not the schools that will win. In consequence, it is of the greatest importance that you and everyone else in the United States really try to understand the educational system and determine what you think about it. One other thing we are all agreed upon: In the face of the scientific achievements of the day it is in- creasingly important that we preserve a sense of balance. We can develop a guided missile; we can send a rocket to the moon; we can do any of these scientific thing . What we have not learned to do is to live to- gether, and the big problem of our generation is not in the scientific field, but in the far broader realm of human understanding because the world inexorably moves toward unity. When I set out to write this, I did not intend to deal with quite such big problems, but these are the kinds of things you and your children are going to be dealing with, and it is my fond hope that the educa- tion you have received here at the University has prepared you to deal with these problems. If it has, we have been successful in our goals for you. Congratulations on your achievement and best wishes for your future happiness. . Sincerely, igs Qe oh OO oO eee SSS are — - SSE
