PENNSYLVANIA MILITARY COLLEGE OFFICE OP THE PRESIDENT CHESTER, PENNSYLVANIA June 1966 Dear Senior: Your graduation from college is, I am sure, one of the most enjoyable and satisfying experiences in your life. On the other hand, it can have its frightening moments as you see yourselfxthrown into a world of competition and envision yourselfxbeing separatebd from those many associations that you now hold dear. The things that have happened at Pennsylvania Military College over the past four years have assisted you to mold your character and your career. The friendships that you have made are among the most important experiences of your life. Yet without a deliberate attempt to preserve these warm and meaningful associations, they may soon be lost forever. I know that each of you believes that this will not happen, and it won't if you constantly retain your affiliation with PMC through being an active alumnus. You have an avenue of communication with every PMC graduate fsome 5000 of theml through your Alumni Association. To achieve this relationship, it is important that you inform the Alumni Office immediately of any change in address and events in your life that are of interest to others, such as marriage - promotions - unusual experiences - honors, etc. If your location permits, you will want to attend alumni functions Chomecoming, graduation, and the meetings of local alumni chaptersl, or if these are not available to you, you may wish to bring together PMC men wherever you are. lt is at these events that old friends meet and exchange experiences. The time to build the habit of participation is now. To be in- volved in the affairs of your college through your Alumni Association can be a most rewarding experience. I urge each of you to associate yourself directly in this activity. The faculty and the trustees join with me in extending to each of you our warmest wishes for a healthful and successful life. Siniieiely yours 1 LQ. Clarence R. Moll MIL: Y. xh 7:44, V Q W 15554 + 4 ESTERV xl E is-Q QPE: 2 'YQ-qQX1 V in ' Ti is ' C0 I P'

SE ICJRS Duty is above all consequences, and often, at a crisis of difficulty, commands us to throw them overboard. It commands us to look nei- ther to the right, nor to the left, but straight on- ward. Hence every act of duty is an act of faith. It is performed in the assurance that God will take care of the consequences, and will so order the course of the world, that, whatever the im- mediate results may be, His world shall not rea turn to Him void. This span of life was lent for lofty duties, not for selfishness, not to be whiled away in aimless dreams, but to improve ourselves and serve mankind. - Aubrey De Vere. 19
