2 April 7, 1948 Graduation time is an occasion for congratulations and good wishes. Your successful completion of your college work should give you personal pride and the confidence that comes with the fulfillment of aspira- tions and the achievement of important goals. We told you as freshmen that the University would be as concerned as you that your experience at Wayne should be happy and -successful. Now at the close of the course, we share your ioy and satisfaction in the task you have completed. We hope you, in turn, will cherish the ties that bind you to Wayne University. The work of Wayne will be appraised largely by the stature and quality of its alumni. Its high purposes will be fulfilled as you and your associates faithfully meet the expectations of your friends and fellows. Wayne is the symbol of the faith of your city and state in the importance of your education. Public service and public facilities have been placed at your disposal because of the belief that your success will contribute to the welfare of others. We hope you cheerfully accept the obliga- tion to justify, by deed and thought, the faith placed in you by your community. The years ahead will be full of difiicult problems as the world tries to recover from the terrible struggle of the war years and tries to find the paths to an enduring peace. The college trained men and women, by virtue of their training, are needed desperately in the fight for a better world. I wish for each of you a civic conscience that will help you hold to the highest ideals of citizenship an.d public service. DAVID D. HENRY ,-In 11 ' ' 2 2
