TO THE CLASS OF 1953 As YOU leave the associations and friendships of Wilkes College, I find myself hoping that I may be with you at your twenty-fifth reunion. I would join you then not only to continue an association that I hope may grow warmer with the passing of years, but to see what you have done with a quarter of a century and to observe what quarter of a century has done to you. This next quarter-century will not be easy, for the values most cherished by free men are under attack in all parts of the world, and we have no reason to expect that these attacks will cease. We must prepare ourselves therefore to face the uncer- tainties that lie ahead by making sure of our own values. If we possess sufficient faith in our ideals, our neighbors, and our- selves, we can face the future with hope and equanimity. We have received a goodly heritage that is based upon freedom, regard for one's neighbors, and the conviction that manls future rests at least in part with him. If we possess sufhcient faith in the ideals that have been passed on to us we will gain that llinner strengthh that comes only to those who are committed to a cause that is greater than self. May the years ahead offer both challenge and fulfillment. ,J
