MR. CHAIRMAN ...











 Dean A. W. Boldt
 It is always a pleasure to welcome new students to the University of Florida.
It is my hope that you will find here the friendly atmosphere and environment
which will influence your growth towards the career that each of you has set.
 The continued progress of our great state and nation demands an ever in-
creasing number of trained and enlightened people. Tyranny thrives best
amidst ignorance and indifference. Therefore each of us must contribute to
democracy-not only by believing it, but by understanding it. In understanding
it we are better prepared to live it and improve it.
 As a great state university, we are jealous of our responsibilities to you and
to our state and nation. We assume these responsibilities in a very serious
manner because we know that you are our posterity.
 It is important that you improve your body, mind, and soul. The external
forces here at Florida are exerted toward that end. Education is a serious
business and is indeed a serious undertaking. The frivolous and disinterested
will fall by the wayside.
 The path to success is not easy to travel, but in the words of Angela Morgan,
I hope that you will experience
 "A courage mightier than the sun-
 You rose and fought and, fighting won."
