Metz of 1945 E give you hearty welcome into the family. It is part of civilized tradi- tion to celebrate the arrival of a baby, and despite the fact that this happy event is with us annually inevitable-we can control its size but we have no methods of academic birth control-we rejoice in your appearance. And while it is proper that without these walls we should preserve a decent modesty, it is a fact that being a close-knit family We think well enough of ourselves to believe that you too deserve congratulations as you join us. Like all newcomers, you will find that the celebration occasioned by your appearance will shortly subside. You must not be dis- appointed, therefore, as shortly you discover that you are being taken rather for granted and, like the youngest in every family, dis- cern in the attitude of your elders, whether cn the faculty or among the undergraduates, a combination of interrogative doubt as to your qualities, paternalistic regard as to your manners, and an affection which however sincere will not always be obvious.

On the whole, I think the Dean and Faculty should be taken seriously. You will discover, also, I believe, that the chief treasures of Yale are not those you see around you in the material equipment, but are rather to be found in your own personal relationship with things of the mind and the spirit that the university traditionally fosters. Many of the ways of Yale seem strange to a newcomer. Appreciation of them cannot be taught as from a text book. It comes only by opening yourselves freely to their influence, by actually living the Yale life until you gradually catch the real meaning of places, and things, and traditions which have become very dear to us :-an appreciation of the Yale of the past which we count on you to pass on to future generations.
