countries the school of the whole
world in the art of living and
working together.
This is a great responsibility.
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

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.
Dr. Howard Cutler, assistant to
the vice president for academic
affairs and head of the general
education program, was the main
speaker.
To the Class of 1958:

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.
