Editot Men and women of Carolina, graduatet and non-graduates are requested to send alumni news and their changing addresses to the Alumni Office, University Campus, Columbio, South Carolina " CAROLINA I Because of its possible Interest to University men in the armed services as well as to students preparing to serve, the Alumni Association is publishing the fol lowing address to the graduating class May 31, 1943, delivered by President J. Rion McKissick of the University. It has never been printed before. Graduates of 194': Neither you nor your fellow-stu dents and the members of our fac ulty and administrative staff will ever forget the University year which ends tonight. For it has been the year of the swiftest transition, the greatest change in the long life of this in stitution. Ours is no longer simply a Uni versity because within six months it has become also a training school of the United States Navy for the na tion's defense. By the end of this calendar year, in addition to the host of regular University students preparing to en ter the armed services, more than three thousand five hundred young men in Navy units will have re ceived some part of their training here. All these groups combine to form by far the largest number ever as sembled for instruction on our camt pus. The University is now making and will continue to make by far its greatest contribution to national defense. Our Alma Mater is doing and will continue to do her utmost for the preservation of the freedom and in dependence of America. To this patriotic achievement you and your fellow-students have con tributed greatly. For you, as well as for the re;t of the student body and our faculty, the University's partial transforma tion into a training school for our "land of hope and glory" has meant inconvenience, discomfort, change from accustomed ways of work and life on our campus, but, proud and grateful that the University in this way has been called upon to serve, you have cheerfully and helpfully cooperated. Your attitude and your coopera tion in such circumstances amply attest your fidelity of the highest traditions of our University as well as your love of country. , You are entitled to the gratitude of both. On land and sea and in the air in this country and in foreign lands thousandls of the sons of our Uni versity are serving in the defense of America. They are measuring up to the noblest traditions of their Alma Mater, their State and nation. In courage, service, sacrifice, and wchievement toward victory, man for man, they equal the sonis of any other institution in the Unitedl States. Here by your condluct you have kept faith with them and soon1 a Ie gion of vou will take yo ur places be sidle them and will prove yourselves wvorthy of their conmradeship. As true of the sons and daughters of Carolinta as of any others are these statements made not long ago to the Conference of Public Insti tutions of the Southern States by 1,eo Chamberlain of the University of Kenituckv: ".. When wvar must come as this one has come, the colleges andl their young men and women have not failed to rise to the emiergency. Lieut.

"Where now is the evidence that they were soft, pampered and undis ciplined? "In the history of the nation youth has never given a better ac count of itself." Our Alma Mater has survived three great wars in swhich our coun try has been engaged. Virtually her entire student body served in the Confederate army in the War for Southern Independence. A vast proportion of her sons served in the first World WVar. In the present war an immense multitude of her former students are also doing their full part. Their record and yours evidences that our University has 'iever sent forth conscientious objectors, draft dodgers and slackers. Their record and yours evidences w that our Alma \later has reared her sons and daughters to be loyal Americans in war as well as in peace. Their record and yours evidences that here and at home they and you have learned the lesson that service of our country in time of war is not only the highest duty but also the highest honor. One of the greatest of. our fellow alumni, Wade liampton, when he was nominated for governor it South ,Carolina in ts7i, told the nominating convention: "There are men in this State in whose eyes I possess disquahifica tions of which ! cannot dispos.Cs myself and would not if I coudd. "I mean my army.record. "If I were to say that I am ashamed of it, I would be saying that which is not true. "All the offices in the world might perish before I would say so." When Gen. Robert E. Lee was president of Washington College af ter the war, one of its students, a youthful Confederate veteran, c marked to him: "I at so impatient to make up for the time I lost in the army He got no further. General Lee flushed and ex claimed in an almost angry tone: "Mr. H umph reys 1However long you live and whatever you accom plish, you will find that the time you sp)ent in the Confederate army was the most profitably spent porn~ tion of your life. "Never again speak of having lost time in the army.'' Far more in the ye-irs to come thani now you will p)rize the price less distinction and honor of having servedl outr country in the days of her dlirest dlanger. Men and women of Carolina. as you leave her, your Alma NI ater is serenely confident that in this su. preme crisis you will acquit your selves with shining courage, loyalty anid devotion to our ''sweet land of IibIe rty.'' The Untiversity is (deeply pr'OndI of yotdt and( of your fellow alumini in the nation's service, for together you will write the most glorious chapter in the long life of our Ahlna Mlater.
