Greeting to iUcmfaers of tJje Clags of 1949: ' oon you will leave the realm of college students and enter the ranks of the Alumni to take your places as trained citizens of a great nation. Your life in this new area will be one of activity and participa- tion. You will work and play, live and learn among those who make up our society. Dominant motives will prompt you to do or to refrain from doing certain things. Your training as a college student will influence your thinking, feeling and acting. Modifications here will be operative because you belong to a select group — college graduates, hiigher levels of motives should direct and control your behavior patterns. In- structive tendencies will be better regulated. Social controls will be carefully scrutinized. No longer will the plaudits and threats of the crowd sway you to ignoble thought and undesirable action. Fear will hove less influence upon you and you will find high and noble ideals to lead you through the trying days ahead. As high ideals become a greater influence as a motive, you will be controlled less by other motives. Sensing what is right in thought and action, you will strive toward that goal unmindful of the pull of influences that would turn you aside. Your life will be directed to a definite goal and you will be lead by the inspiration and guidance of high ideals. All thoughts will be wholesome. All things will be done well and with great care. You will then see a real meaning to this line from Shakes- peare ' s play. King hHenry VIII: Things done well and with a care exempt themselves from fear. At this time, with the highest hopes for your success and real happi- ness, I wish you all the good things that life has in store for those who are good and true. WINFIELD W. MENHENNETT 10
