Seniors, you have just closed but have not locked a door through which may be recalled four col- lege years of studying and preparing a way for the richest and fullest portion of you life. The remainder of this path of living lies just beyond another doorway that of commencement. The latter door is open wide for the act of begin- ning, beginning as a member of society develop- ing intellectually and influencing men's minds and their works. Yes, commencement is the act of beginning or starting anew. It is not the change from one level of achievement to another. The preparatory period is over; it is now time to inaugurate a life based on that preparation strengthened with ini- tiative and self-discipline. As you pass through the open door, never forget that the door to Wit- tenberg is without a lock so that you may return and renew spiritual inspiration and academic stimulation for the days ahead. We who remain on campus wish you success. Build a life abundant in the truth acquired from the treasures of the four years you are now leaving; go forward fortified by a deep faith to meet the challenge of the future. seniors 27
