FROM THE PRESIDENT I wish I could this year wish you Godspeed into a normal, peaceful, happy world. Instead, however, I have to call your attention to a crisis far more intense than the one existing when we sent out the classes of 1941. Events have crowded upon themselves in the last year to cover our country with the black clouds of war. Into this war our young men and women must go—some to serve in the armed forces and some to serve on the home fronts. The fino quality of young manhood and womanhood that you have demon- strated on the campus of your Alma Mater will, I am sure, enable you to carry on under the increased bur- dens that now rest upon our citizenship. Let me emphasize that solidarity based on a clear understanding of American ideals and a willingness to sacrifice completely for them and to afford leadership in their promotion is the obligation of the classes whose opportunities are the outgrowth of our ideals. You have become members of a great body called The University of Tennessee. This body is likewise a member of a greater body representing the free people of America. It is our obligation to freedom and to truth that we win this war. It is likewise our obligation that we go on and win the peace which is to follow. Our way of thinking and living is the way of a free people. It demands the careful thought, anal- ysis, and leadership of all of the higher educational levels among our people. To this you are in a peculiar way adapted by the training in all phases of life which you have received within the halls of this institution. We cannot fail, and you cannot fail. The University has always followed her students through the years—with pride and with willingness to serve them in whatever capacities their needs and her cherished ideals demanded. As you go forth, be fully assured that you carry with you the blessings of your Alma Mater and the faith she holds in the eter- nal verities. The long sweep of changing affairs will result in ultimate good, however discouraging may be the intervening years. You will have a glorious part in this consummation. JAMES D. HOSKINS. Our President prosidos with our Governor.
