DR. SAMUEL P. MASSIE
hopes, and ambitions will ma
terialize and begin to bear
fruit. Here you will find op
portunities to grow in all di
rections^—in the classroom, in
extra-class activities, in person
al relationships, in spiritual and
moral values, in cultural and
social experiences. We strongly
urge you to take full advantage
of these opportunities so that
you may prepare yourselves
well for the glorious future that
lies ahead.
To the former students re
turning to complete their work,
we hope first that you had a
pleasant summer experience.
Some of you visited foreign
lands, some of you attended
summer school, either here or
elsewhere to enrich your edu
cation, while some of you work
ed to increase your funds. A
few very fortunate ones relaxed
to improve their physical con
ditions. But, whatever you did,
you are back and we are glad
to see you.
We hope that you have re
turned renewed and invigor
ated. We hope that you have
returned determined to work
and study harder and to do well
in and out of the classroom as
you further yourselves for the
needs, requirements, yes, e^ven
demands of the Great Society.
To the members of the facul
ty and staff joining us this year,
we again express our delight
that you will assist us in pro
viding quality education for our
students. We are constantly
striving to improve the excel
lence of our education and your
efforts will have much mean
ing in this task. We know that
you, too, will find that North
I Carolina College is “a fine
place to live, learn, work, and
serve.”
To our returning colleagues,
we welcome you from interest
ing summers—in Europe, at
North Carolina College, at other
colleges, and other types of ex
periences.
The Massie family had a very
pleasant and enriching summer
as we journeyed west to Okla
homa, Arizona, New Mexico,
and California.
This is the Golden Age of
Education—^the Age of the
Great Society. As man strug
gles to rid himself of his an
cient enemies—poverty, ignor
ance, and disease, he has rapid
ly found that his most signific
ant weapon is education. There
fore, everywhere we find in
creased interest in education
and increased support for it.
We who teach and learn ini
higher educational institutions
like North Carolina College
have a special opportunity and
a special opportunity and a
special obligation to respond to
the challenge of this age.
Therefore, each of us - ad
ministration. faculty, staff, stu
dents, alumni, and friends
should personally resolve to
work harder this year - to do
more creative planning, more
inspiring and dedicated teach
ing, more energetic and mean
ingful learning.
“Life is easy for the owl, but
the Eagles seeks his place in
the sun.”
Can we, of the 1965 family
of North Carolina College,
meet the needs and challenges
of our age?
With that thought, I greet
you again as we begin another
year.
