a ■ 1 governor ev3ns We in the state of Washington stand today on the threshold of a new and challenging era of development. We have just begun to explore the prom- ise of nuclear energy used for peace- ful purposes and have taken a long step forward in making our state a leader in this revolutionary new in- dustry. New horizons of foreign trade hold bright promise of prosperity; ad- vanced scientific and technological research have brought startling changes in both our industrial and agricultural economy. You who are today ' s university stu- dents — and who soon will be called upon to accept the obligations of leadership passed on from my gener- ation — must meet this challenge with energy and ingenuity. You must be ever alert for the oppor- tunity to apply tested and proved theories to new and ever-changing situations. You must use the expe- rience of the past and the diligence of the present to blaze a trail into the future clear enough so that others who come after you may follow with confidence. Above all, we must all realize that the purpose of technology is to serve people and that the machine never must be allowed to become man ' s master. One further obligation which you must share if you will assume your rightful place of leadership is to hold understanding among men to be the highest goal, the worthiest cause to which any generation can dedicate itself. Sincerely, Daniel J. Evans Governor
