To the members of the Class of 1945: You have now completed four years of work with us and you will realize in a very short time that it is easy for you to forget many of the things you now feel that you have learned. If you leave college with your diploma on commencement day and feel that now your education has ended, then for you it has ended, and your parents, your teachers, and the state may have invested in vain. You must not indulge in wishful thinking about the future. Your efforts as a teacher, combined with the efforts of the million teachers in our country, can accomplish much in securing peace and security. Peace, like war, does not start or end on a particular day. Peace, like War, is a sequence of related events in which you and I play an important role. The extent and the intensity of the effects of these events may be conditioned by the teachers. Think carefully about these matters, for they are the fundamental principles of security and peace. You should know that peace is a universal thing for all people. It is not something just for the white, the rich, or the educated. You should know that peace is not a national legacy. It never will be given to 4 Y , a people. It is not something one l can attain by exhortation and I wishful thinking. It is something that man purchases through great cost, sacrifice, and suffering. It is something that we can have in our country when, and only when, we are ready to pay the price for peace and security. This should be your thought on commencement day, and to the end that you may serve your coun- try, you should dedicate yourself with the firm conviction that peace may be attained. You should believe that the greatness of our country is the greatness of of our dreams, our wisdom is the wisdom of the heart, to lift all people out of the earth and build a real brotherhood of man. Thus will you rightfully be able to say, long years after this commence- ment of 1945, I studied, I lived, l labored, unsparingly and hope- fully, to be worthy of my genera- tion. Cmm S. Wim ITMAN, P1'L'.l'fdL'llf. 'W' 'T - ,- lf, f .f 6
