I is for VISION as well as for VICTORY The youth of America has preserved for us all the priceless boon of freedom What can we offer them in partial return? % We of Central Maine Power Company believe that the greatest contribution we can make is to help create new opportunities for the youth of Maine — to work, to live abundantly, to enjoy the American way of life. The great electrical industry, of which we are proud to be a part, is one of continually expanding frontiers. This is especially true in Maine, where inexhaustible and inex­ pensive hydro-electric resources make almost limitless the possible uses of electricity to both industry and agriculture. If we are to develop these possibilities to the full—we need i the inspiration and the energy of youth. We are gratified that every year, many graduates of the colleges and universities of Maine enroll in our com­ pany. We stress this mutual relationship in the belief that r enduring prosperity for the State of Maine can only be achieved when youth is encouraged to lend its vision to the development of our great industrial and agricultural potentialities. r 9 CENTRAL MAINE POWER COMPANY * JUNE, 1945 9 St TlOmM0ct0bVi t0 June‘ncIusivc’ by the University of Maine General Alumni Association, Business office, Room 514, 6 State S3 00 Member® AnUmnU?’ University of Maine, Orono, Maine Subscription price, $2 00 per year, included in annual alumni dues of $3 00 Member American Alumni Council Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office at Bingor, Maine, under act of March 3, 1870 COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM I—IIGH-LIGHTING the 76th Com- ment speaker, was honored for his work to the European Theatre to study at I I mencement Program of the Uni­ in the service of international peace.

Outlining the “geography of segregation” in Maine, he describes the resistance to fair housing and the means by which the NAACP documented civil-rights viola­ tions, drafted legislation, built coalitions of concerned black and white citizens, and advanced the “moral and ethical responsibility ” of all Mainers to work for fair housing legislation.

  • JOHN FOSTER DULLES PAPERS PERSONNEL SERIES The
    JOHN FOSTER DULLES PAPERS PERSONNEL SERIES The Personnel Series, consisting of approximately 17,900 pages, is comprised of three subseries, an alphabetically arranged Chiefs of Mission Subseries, an alphabetically arranged Special Liaison Staff Subseries and a Chronological Subseries. The entire series focuses on appointments and evaluations of ambassadors and other foreign service personnel and consideration of political appointees for various posts. The series is an important source of information on the staffing of foreign service posts with African- Americans, Jews, women, and individuals representing various political constituencies. Frank assessments of the performances of many chiefs of mission are found here, especially in the Chiefs of Mission Subseries and much of the series reflects input sought and obtained by Secretary Dulles from his staff concerning the political suitability of ambassadors currently serving as well as numerous potential appointees. While the emphasis is on personalities and politics, information on U.S. relations with various foreign countries can be found in this series. The Chiefs of Mission Subseries totals approximately 1,800 pages and contains candid assessments of U.S. ambassadors to certain countries, lists of chiefs of missions and indications of which ones were to be changed, biographical data, materials re controversial individuals such as John Paton Davies, Julius Holmes, Wolf Ladejinsky, Jesse Locker, William D. Pawley, and others, memoranda regarding Leonard Hall and political patronage, procedures for selecting career and political candidates for positions, discussions of “most urgent problems” for ambassadorships in certain countries, consideration of African-American appointees, comments on certain individuals’ connections to Truman Administration, and lists of personnel in Secretary of State’s office.

The one I like best is building—we build a lot of things here. Some such building is actual, not analogous: there’s a fourth year student building a tiny house in the parking lot; another is rebuilding the battery terminals for our electric van; we just built a bed on wheels and placed third in the Bar Harbor Bed Races.

The picture of alumni sons and daughters in The Alumnus arouses me more than anything that has come out of Maine in years. After I graduated from the University, the succeeding college generations did not interest me much. They seemed to be strangers in the halls that had been mine. They didn’t know me when I returned to them, and I did not know them. Perhaps I even felt resentful in a way that they had taken over what I considered mine. My loyalty to Maine may not have slipped, but my interest certainly has lagged. But these youngsters are the flesh and blood of my old gang and I am mighty glad that they have come back home.
