TO THE CLASS OF 1949; The graduates of the Bicentennial Year go forth, with our blessing and our af- fectionate concern, into their unpredictable future. That future may be hazardous or it may be exciting with strange promise; we pray that it will be richly reward- ing for every honest effort, every worthy motive. In this commemorative session, the seniors will be mindful of the great fellowship they join. For two hundred years, men of your heritage have entered into life ' s ac- tivity, some to make history in the large, some to accept the unrecognized detail of duty. Almost without exception, they have never shirked their task, have never been afraid of it. If your future seems remote from the simpler social order to which many of your older brothers went, you will recall that the principles by which you master that fu- ture are the ones they knew: the power to explore knowledge, the inspiration from noble culture, the strength to live with honor, the grace of sympathy. These things, we hope, are yours by reason of your being Washington and Lee men. ' l,tyi ' L lltWhj( S-. P. GAINES AND LEE UNIVERSITY
