There are conditions in this modern world that will need to be reckoned with.
Today the world is changing so rapidly that we cannot train to meet a given situation. We must educate people to cope with whatever changes may occur-- and there are only three things about the future that are certain: It won't be like the past, it won't be like we think it is going to be, and the rate of change will be faster than ever before.
You have acted and sacrificed so that you can be better prepared for this world of change.
A philosopher who was in, but not of, America and was always a keen observer of American life, George Santayana, once said:
" To be an American is of itself almost a moral ambition, an education and a career."
You have acted and sacrificed so that you can be part of that America--- in fact be a living symbol of the dream abiding in further education-- now so much a part of our great country.
I wish you good luck and may God's blessings go with you.
Dr. Ralph C. Geigle
