PHI KAPPA TAU

• 1960 FAREWELL TO SENIORS

By the Reverend Charles D. Spotts, National Chaplain

It is my guess that at least one thou·and members of will be completing their undergraduate career this spring. For all this will represent a creative achievement. From the professor's point of view, J know that it is possible for a "clever" young man to amass sufficient credits at certain academic institutions to earn a bachelor's degree without much mental creativity. I also know that it is becoming increasingly difficult to graduate from college or university without above average native ability and consistent application. For those of you who have spent the past four years in creative mental activity in the library, in the la boratory, in the class-room and in your own study, graduation will represent a genuine creative achieve­ ment. This is the very purpose for which you came into being- to share with your Maker in the high activity of creation. This is what it means to be a man and not a mouse. Congratulations! For some of you, graduation will represent the terminus of formal academic training, to be followed by employment. In a sense, your days of care-free student life are over; dependence upon financial support from home will also come to an end; no more sleepmg until a ten­ o'clock class or an Saturday mornings; no more mid-night bull-sc..--sion~; beer parties, weekend jaunts. For such it will be Commencement, commencement of life as a mature, responsible man. M ay you find it to be challenging and exciting! For others the completion of undergraduate ·tudy will be merely an interlude before beginning the next part of your academic training in professional school or graduate school. Next fa ll will bring many exciting experiences, perhaps another city, new fellow-students, new faculty, and above all. new intellectual challenges in a setting which will provide more freedom and at the same time more responsibility. You can't have the one without the other. M ay this further sea rch for knowledge bring you corresponding compensations! All of you will :oon become 'inactive· members of your college fraternity in the sense that you no longer belong to an under­ graduate chapter. But there will be much that you ca n still do for your chapter and for the national fraternity. You can be a loyal alumnus by supporting Phi Kappa T au financially, by encouraging your friends who go to college to pledge Phi Kappa T au, by returning to Founders' Day celebration;;, by becoming acquainted with Phi T aus in your community. May )'OU all continue to be Phi Kappa T au boosters! THE LAUREL of Phi Kapp a T a u
