But it is only one of many great responsibilities which fall upon olir generation. Ours is a genera tion privileged to enjoy the bene fits of science in greater meas ure than any of our ancestors. Any privilege carries with re sponsibility, and the responsibili ties laid upon us by our scienti fic privileges are heavy and dra matic. Let me illustrate this from my own field. It is perhaps the most dramatic illustration of all. Our discoveries in the field of atomic energy have placed in our hands a military weapon of awesome power. They have also, rightly used, opened wonderful possi bilities of benefit. In the same way all scientific discovery, in deed all forms of thought, can po tentially be used either for good or for ill, and the greater the po tentialities for good. so too the greater the potentialities for evil. In the general privileges and responsibilities thus laid upon our age we all share. Each of us has Honors (Continued from page one) following the presentation. Another legend concerning the pipe man is that in addition to being a symbol of friendship be tween the two senior classes, it also involves freshmen, The freshmen and sophomores former ly had an event at the end of the school year in which they "buried the hatchet," and the freshmen were accepted as "true injuns" and members of the University student body. Senior women began receiv ing awards for outstanding se = complishments in 1922. It was decided then to designate the title accompanying the honors with articles,symbolic of wom en. The awards are presented on the basis of service to the Uni versity. personal honor. integ rity. sincerity, versatility of ac tivities and scholarship. The bow girl is the top award given to women and recognizes high scholarship and leadership. The slipper and fan girl a wards are given to popular stud ent leaders. The class poet is a student with originality who will present a humorous class poem. The mirror girl delivers the mirror oration and is supposed to look into the mirror on class night and see the past and the future of her class revealed there. , Class Day originated in 1874 when awards were given for outstanding scholarship and par ticipation in activities. Thomas Hollander, senior class president, served ;‘s master of ceremonies for the Senior Night program. Robert Weir, an English literature major, gave the valedic tory speech, while the salutator ian address was given by Anne Nitrauer, an education major.

M. Today also his own personal privileges and responsibilities. You mem bers of the graduating class have had the privilege of being edu cated at this University. It is your responsibility to seize the advan tages you have gained from this education and to use them for good in the broadest sense,. in whatever walk of life you pur sue. To discharge these responsibili ties you need above all a sound and balanced judgment. That is one reason why I have ventured to commend to you the ideal of Aristotle and Franklin, for a wide and balanced outlook is the pre requisite of a balanced judgment. But responsibility is nothing to fear. If the responsibilities of our generation are heavy, it is because the challenge of our age is great. That is an exciting thing. It is a stimulating world in which you start your careers, a world of opportunity for courage, for ingenuity, for achievement, for adventure of every kind and on every plane, physical, intellec tual, spiritual. ' Whatever you do and where ever you go, I wish you good luck. Gift Decision-- (Continued from page one) difficulty in obtaining AM facili ties for WDFM, a system for pos sible re-allocation of the $lO,OOO senior class gift has been estab lished. If the University cannot ob tain an AM station, a committee representing the class would seek to "modify" the gift so that it would remain in the area of student radio facilities, Thomas Hollander, class presi dent said. If modition of the gift would be unfeasible, Hollander said, the gift would go to the second choice, the Library. However, he said "substitution is not the intent of the class" and would not be done unless modification of the gift was not possible. Hollander said a possible modification might be the pur chase of FM receivers so stu dents could hear WDFM on its current FM frequency. The members of the committee which would seek to modify the gift in case of difficulty are the three class officers, the co-chair men of the gift committee and the permanent class secretary. Trustees Elected By state Societies State Senator Albert E. Madi gan, of Towanda, and three in cumbents have been elected to three-year terms as University trustees. Madigan was elected to replace Furman H. Gyger, Jr., Kimberton, by delegates of agricultural so cieties. J. Lewis Williams, Union town, was re-elected by the agri cultural delegates.
