Four short. years ago with the founding of our Braneli hy the Yeshiva lfniversity. your elass constituted the hulk of our student hotly. Hur growth during tlzis short period has heen so phenomenal however, that today your class register equals only one-tenth of our total student enrollment. This outstanding success is in itself a tribute to the devotion of the student body, the self-saeritice of the faculty and the vision of the administration. It is true that even now upon the completion of your high school eourse you will not he coming into direct eontaet with the complexities and amhieui- ties of life, for at least. another four years of comparative safety behind the spiritual walls of Yeshiva University await most of you. Yet it is important to examine now what you have gained during these last few years. Although to George Bernard Shaw youth is wasted on the young and perhaps others may go even further and say that education too is wasted on the young: we traditional Jews have always felt that it is the NDTPJW NDTU which is hasie and a most influential factor in the shaping of the individual. lt is the approach and outlook acquired during the early formative years of life that are of prime importance. During- your stay in the Yeshiva we have attempted to give you more than facts and hook knowledge alone. It was our purpose to eultivate. strengthen and develop a strong faith in the timeless truths otf our Torah. We have tried to imhue you with the desire and will to preserve those teachings and perpetu- ate those traditions. NVe have emphasized the development of your moral sense. heeause only sueh issues determine the kind of world we have. The greatest eontrihutions that anyone can make are those ofa moral nature. There is no dearth of scientific aehievements. of political. social or eeonomie progress. The moral law however has not heen ahle to keep paee with teelinolog-5-git is easier l'or man to make an atom liomh than to know what to do with it. You however who are ohsessed with an undying faith in the Divine nature of our Torah and its supremacy in our everyday lil'e are prepared to make moral eontrihutions for the hetternieut of society. By virtue of the specialized training which you have received, you are in a unique position to strengthen the moral structure of humanity. May your future thoughts and aets always retlect these nohle and lofty ideals: may the Yeshiva Vniversity he ahle to point with pride to you: may tl-d hless your paths in lil'e with sueeess and spiritual aeliievelneut.
