DEDI ATION On November 25, 1964, Adlai Stevenson wrote a beautiful tributary letter thanking the class of 1965 for perpetuating the memory of Eleanor Roosevelt by dedicating the annual to her. And so, when Mr. Stevenson suddenly died this past summer, it seemed fitting and tragically ironic, to leave our book in his commemoration and in his honor. As the United States representative to the United Nations, his noted strength lay in his great wit, his wisdom. and his diplomacy. In a time marked by anti-intellectualism, he became-without willing it-the voice of thought and grace in his own nation and in the world. He said, when speaking of Mrs. Roosevelt, that every one of us can contribute to the everlasting light for a better world and a better America. This is her legacy to mankind and especially, I would say, her legacy to youth -the time, as a poet said, when we dream we can make the world all over new. This too was Adlai Stevenson's legacy, he attempted and succeeded in making his dreams his deeds. We have sanely, calmly, to preserve our strength and our caution, our full defensive might and our ever-readiness to negotiate, our dedication to the cause of allied freedom, and our search for reasonable accommodation. This path is not exciting. It sets no trumpets braying or drums beating. It revolts the ideologists. But this adventure has in it the most precious of all possibilities-that our children and our grand- children may survive to build a saner, better, more law-abid- ing world. ADLAI STEvENsoN New York, August 1964

To The Class Of 1966, How do the girls with whom I graduated from Western in 1916 compare with the girls with whom I leave Western fifty years later? Well, those girls were just as good-look- ing but not so concerned with their appearance, just as bright but not as clever in using their brains. You girls of today have wider horizonsg you know more about literature, science, current events, art, music and sex. You have seen more shows, visited more museums and attended more concerts. Many of you have traveled and I hope all of you expect to before long. You have much more exciting and diversified plans. I believe you are more interesting than the girls of 'l6. I find you have just as high ideals, concern for your fel- low-men and faith in yourselves and the future. It has been a pleasure to work with you, to know and love you and to be a member of the class of 1966. 16.
