Show Dear Graduate: Yesterday . . . Today . . . Tomorrow Only yesterday you were a freshman. Today you are a graduate. Tomorrow and many times after that you will be a freshman again, meeting new circumstances, new people, new challenges. You will leave the "U" with expertise in a specific field of knowledge and some understanding of the social, cultural, physical and natural worlds in which you will live. I hope you have also cultivated such virtues as ambition, patience, energy, discipline and a capacity for work and honest self evaluation; these qualities should be strengthened and refined throughout life, for they have and always will make a critical difference in this changing world of ours. If you are leaving the campus, do not leave learning behind. Learning enhances the whole of life, enabling you to draw enrichment and enjoyment from all that you experience. Return to the "U" as often as you can; and always remember your University. You will forever be a part of her extended family- My very best wishes, DAVID P. GARDNER, President The University of Utah Dear Seniors: Three, four, or five years of what have been an alternately stimulating, difficult and invigorating experiment in higher education have come to a conclusion. The vivid memories left to us of our undergraduate years will be those of quiet walks along the snow-covered ways of campus, a single finger raised skyward symbolizing a WAC basketball championship, and the sun sinking red beyond the library and the Oquirrhs. Yet the University of Utah is more than these images, and higher education is more than the University. And so, to all of us in what follows in our own personal higher education, the university of life, success. Sincerely, Scott E. Calder, President Associated Students University of Utah 20 |
