"The year-to-year history of Ur:'li nll:! Culltge has nOl been unlike that of other liberal art~ college!'>. It had its slow beginnings, its financial depressions, its growing pains, its :. hocks from war. The growth of the Coll ege h3 s been gradual and healthy. A~ the College ha~ grown in loize, it ha:. grown in ~trength, in influence, in ever more generou!' l>en· ice to the local community a nd to the nation. "The work of Ursinu s Coll eg-e is understandahle only in the light of our hi :'ltory a nd our prese nt plans and pu rp o:.e~. The plan of the Founders was to establi:.h a Chri!'>tian coll ege of liberal 3rtS. The purpose of the Founders was to help the student to develop into 3 m3ture, well-babnced person with an under:.tanding of the past and of the needs and problem!' of the present, to prepare the student for wise li ving 3nd for re~ponsib l e citizen!'>hip. From 1870 to the present that plan a nd that purpo..,e have sh aped the growth of thi!>. co llege. It is, I be li eve, the ideal that InU"! guide us as we work and plan for the future. "Ur..,inus College has a lways been a Ch ristia n college, th3t i!., a college w hich emphasizes man's accou nt­ ability to hi s Crea tor, a co ll ege which tries to teach the student to do his work- now and in the future- in the Christian lop irit, to mea<,ure all things by Chri:'ltia n standards, 10 free him:'lelf from the poison of envy and malice, to serve hi.., neighbor, and to face life fortified by Christi a n cou rage and hope. "U rsinus Coll ege ha~ always been a coll ege of t he li bera l arts, that is, a college which em phasi'les those studies-rel ig ion, ethics, literatu re, history in ib broadest se n ~e-w hi ch teach man to keep his spi ritual, moral, and intellectual being in control of hi s in:.linct~ and technologies. The most import31ll re!,pon~ibilit y of the co ll ege of liberal arts is to provide the st udent with the materia ls and methods that will enable him to make ~o und judgment!'-intellectua l, moral, social, po litical. It is these liberal studies which mmt proyide the con­ trols in the year~ ahead. These are the ..,tudies that shape the development of the whole man. ''I t i ~ important to remember that, howcver va ried and c han g in ~ the special n ced~ of the hour, the basic needs of man remain CO li lo tant. Of these needs the student, intent ~ometimes upon only the immed iate future, may be wholly unaware. It is the specia l re~ponsibili t y of the college to supply the~e perm3nent need~, and to preserve and interpret to the student changeless a nd enduring vallle~ in a changi ng world. " The ig norance most fatal to states and to individua ls i:'l not ignorance in the fie ld of science but !,piritua l ignorance. All things that me n can possess or desire ... are good or bad accord in g to the use that men make of them. True education is essentially a training in values. Tf the college of liberal arts ca nnot, better than other types of institution, interpret these values to th e stude nt and strengthen hi s purpose to ~erve the com mon good, th en the college fails in its most important work. " For those students who plan to becom,· ministers, teachers, lawyers, doctors, !'cie nti sts, the coll ege must provide the preparation for their work in the graduate schoo ls. But the college mll st not perm it the curricula to become a hodge-podge of vocational and 'pr e-professional' courses of study. Technical and vocational compe­ tence must be balanced and safeguarded by education that will enable the student to judge justly as a man and as a citizen. For every ~t ud e nt , therefore, whatever his plans for the future, the co ll ege must provide the edu­ cation that will help him to li ve intelligently and generously in a democratic society. The coll ege must emphasize the fact that hi s opportunitie~ as a college ~tudent a nd late r a~ a college g raduate require him to assume duties and responsibilities and burd ens that those less privileged will not and cannot aS~lIme. liThe ty pe of education for which Ursinus College st and ~-C hri st i an and li bera l - i~ , we be li eve, at a ll timps and places the only true education. But it is clearly of the ullnost importance in a democracy where the citizen, enjoying a larger freedom, has a greater obligation to govern him ~e lf , and it is clearly of the 11lmost import­ ance in an age when science has put into th e hands of man the most frig htful weapom of de ~ truc tio n . " During seventy-five years Ursin us has grown steadily in strength and influence. The extraordinary decade just ended has seen the passing of many human hopes and dreams, but during these ten year!'> of depression and war the spirit and substance of Ursi n u~ College have not diminished. Today w e reaffirm our faith in the ideals and traditions that have shaped our College through the years. Our College is today stronge r t han ever before.

Salutation Ursinus men and women who served in the armed forces in W orld \IVar ] [-this is our grate· ful salutation to you. Called to a task that was not of your choosi ng, sent on a mission not of your making, yo u gave of yo ur best in response to your country's call. Some of you gave of yo ur blood . Some of you gave even morc, and yo ur bodies will forever bear the marks of your great sacrifice. Still others gave everything that they had to give-thei r very lives. All of you gave of your strength and devotion. All of you gave precious months and years of your youth in the hope that humanity might try again to build a world order dedicated to the ways of peace and good-will. lYe salute you for your courage tllld YO ll r sacrifices, for your willingness to face without com­ plaint all the horrors and tragedies that modern war entail s. ~T othing we can say or do will ever compensate for the deep loss we fee l when \ve think of the thirty-four U rsinus men who gave their lives in line of duty. \,ye salute these honored dead, and solemnly pledge o urselves to work in peace­ ful ways for the ac hi evement of the ideals to which their lives were dedicated. The memory of these noble sons of U rsinus will continue to chasten and bless us so long as life shall last. W e sa lute you w ho are now returning, or will soon return to us. W e followed you in your wanderings to every corner of the globe. You made familiar to us names \.ve had never heard before, and yo ur exploits were our daily food and drink for four long, soul-s tirring years. ' ¥e are glad that you are coming back. ' IVe have tried to keep ali ve the democratic processes which we believe to be the only hope of the world. We have not been entirely successful , for we have learned by hard experi­ ence what we know in theon' to be true-that war, by its very nature, tends to stifle and retard the ways we would defend. . . Now that the fighting phase of the war is ended, we realize more than ever that our real task has anI\' begun. Again we need your help. In man\' respects our world is more confused today than it was before. 'rhe America to which vou are returning is by no mea ns perfect. It is perhaps too much to expect that it shall ever be so. 'But we dare not cease to dream, to hope, and to work at the task of making our beloved nation what it may yet become. T o this end we pledge ou rselves anew. And with you we shall fight prejudice, ignorance, l'orruptioll, (lnd special priililt'ge where'ver it exists.
