Farewell Graduates^ Welcome Alumni
The responsibility of insuring that all requirements for graduation
are met rests with the student.
Students are required to notify Department Chairman, at registra-tion,
of any deficiencies that may require schedule modifications.
About a week ago,
James Trent, invited me
to prepare a farewell
statement to the class
graduating in June 1965.
To receive this invita-tion
was indeed flat-tering
because I am not
as fortunate as most of
the faculty members in
being able to get to know
a large number of stu-dents
on a rather close
and intimate basis. I
have, however, had the
privilege of working
with and meeting a num-ber
of the leaders of
your student groups and
it is this contact with
the students that makes
the dean's job an ex-tremely
pleasant one.
Farewell statements
do not s e em appropriate
unless one or both part-i
e s expect to see little
of each other or have
little to do with each
other as time passes.
We, at the College, ex-pect
to have agreatdeal
to do with the graduates
of this class and we are
confident that you as
graduates will continue
your interest in the col-lege
in the years to
come.
You will note that
graduation is not called
a farewell exercise but
a Commencement which
means that you are at the
beginning or threshold
of new adventures, of
new experiences.
We would, therefore,
like to welcome you as
Alumni of the State Uni-versity
at Farmingdale.
We would also like
to welcome you as those
who have chosen to take
new responsibilities -
as those who have pre-pared
for these re-sponsibilities
by at-tending
college for two
years. Some of you will
go directly on to full-time
studies - others
will interrupt your for-mal
education careers -
at least temporarily -
still others will go to
employment and at the
same time pursue more
advanced studies on a
part-time basis.
It seems appropriate
that the college should
welcome you to these
new experiences be-cause
a college i s not
an inanimate object but
it i s a collection of stu-dents
- of faculty - of
growth. It is a vehicle
that is used to meet the
needs of changing times.
You as students, and now
as graduates, have indi-cated
your interest and
willingness to par-ticipate
£ind accept your
responsibilities in our
Robert fAcLaughlin
ever growing, ever
changing society.
You have met your r e -
sponsibilities by pre-paring
here at Farm-ingdale
to do a better
job.
Your particular class
has left its mark on
Farmingdale as have the
c l a s s e s who have pre-ceded
you. In the field
of athletics some new
records have been es-tablished
both on a team
and on an individual bas-i
s . In scholarship, an
Honor Society has been
activated and has in-ducted
its first mem-bers.
New Clubs and
organizations have been
started. You have re-presented
the college
well in off-campus
problems and helping to
solve them. You have not
been a passive group,
nor have you been an i r -
responsible group; in-stead,
you have acted
with enthusiasm when
enthusiasm was needed.
You have acted patiently,
and at times, passively,
when this was the best
course.
During your tenure as
students many physical
changes have taken
place on campus and
prior to your first
Homecoming in the Fall
of 1965, a great many
more will take place.
Within four to five
years, most phases of
the Campus Master Plan
will be completed.
This will not mean
that campus growth will
stop — Yes — there
may be a lapse in ac-tive
construction of new
buildings but growth will
continue. With the intro-duction
of new pro-grams
- the enrichment
of existing programs
and constant change to
meet the ever present
needs of the society we
serve. During the same
period, you, as college
graduates, will be ever
changing, ever growing,
meeting new responsi-bilities
for which you
have been so well pre-pared
for at Farming-dale.
Commencement i s
both a sad time and a
happy time. It i s a time
of happiness because it
indicates achievement
of a goal. It means for
many the fulfillment of
their own personal am-bitions
and that of their
families. It is also a
sad time because many
friendships that have
developed during the two
years at college can no
longer be continued be-cause
of geographic s e -
parations. Graduation
from college is merely
yourkey.lt i s not a card
of guaranteed success.
It i s necessary to con-tinue
to work just as
hard in the years to
come to reach your
goals as it has been to
reach Commencement.
This, then, i s a mes-sage
of welcome to your
responsibilities after
graduation, and a re-minder
that you are al-ways
welcome to return
to the campus and your
return does not have
wait until Homecom-ing
Day.
The
RAMBLER
extends its
congratulations
to tlie Class of "GS
