However nianv our experiences— the smiles, the cheers, the lectures, the books, the meetings, the friends—the list remains forever incomplete, as if coaxing us to lengthen and deepen our definition, to make it adequate. In a sense. Quips and Cranks 1951 is a visual dehnition of Davidson: what outsiders might see of the school if they looked enough and examined the record. But for students, especially Seniors, the pictures herein are only reminders of memories which lie deeper than pictures.

You will need, as you will deserve, the best your Alma Mater has been able to provide, not only in the areas of instruction, but also in morsJ. and spiritual guidance and vigor. 1 trust that the sum total of Davidson's impact on your body, mind, and spirit, will prove a lasting asset to your life and career. Men in the past have not become great through ease and freedom from challenge and diffi- culties. I would urge you to meet the strain of the times with courage and faith. Out of such qualities and such leadership we may yet see the better day that is to be. Our affection, our confidence, and our prayers will accompany you on your way. That you will prove true to the trust v^ich is yours, we have highest hope. Cordially yours. JRC:EWB Pflge Twenty Board of Trustees Jicen Dh. J. iMcDowiiLL Richards Presidcnl Mr. J. A.
