How, then, does a student of the Master say simply, 'I loved the man'? This is what he could do for a student: he could and did demonstrate by example the dignity of one's own opinion if that opinion had been reinforced by study in depth. ...

Challenge: The Future
The Mall and a perfect June day formed the setting for Longwood's first outdoor commencement on June 5. 272 degrees were conferred on the graduates by Dr. James H. Newman, College President.
Former Governor Albertis S. Harrison, Jr. told the graduates, "We assemble here today to formalize an event which is largely an accomplished fact. You have already complied with all the requirements of the Commonwealth of Virginia and Longwood College to entitle you to your degree. But we confer it with appropriate pomp and ceremony in order that there may be no mistake about the importance we attach to the occasion and to your accomplishment."

alumnae think of Longwood
College,
you and what have you done for it? What does it mean to the State of Virginia? All of us know Longwood' s great traditions of excellent standards of instruction and of its spendid preparation of good teachers. We know of its fine spirit and of its contagious enthusiasms. Personally, you have happy associations and happy memories of the time you spent here. You are proud to be identified with a greatly respected institution. At the present time, Longwood has increased its enrollment and is expanding its physical plant and facilities. It is no longer a single purpose to help meet the needs in many areas of today's economy and society. These are tangible evidences of great growth. The quality of its students continues to be high. Its faculty is still committed to good teaching. A higher percentage of its graduates become teachers in the schools of Virginia than of any other state college. What I have said sounds good. Will it always be this way? As we know, knowledge is increasing at an unbelievable rate. This fact means greater and greater demands on our faculty in giving the students necessary preparation for their chosen careers. The fierce competition for college faculty and staff is literally nationwide. To be complacent and to think that Longwood will keep on as it always has will be disastrous. Longwood will have to work hard to maintain its earned reputation. Longwood must work even harder to improve its position. Of course, there must be adequate state support and this support cannot simply be taken for granted. Even with adequate state support, there must be unprecedented support from Longwood alumnae if Longwood is to continue to be a superior institution. May your alma mater never be associated with mediocrity. Longwood must always be a first-rate college. This is truly the challenge and the alumnae of Longwood College must lead the way in meeting it. did

1963,
prefer to call ourselves "The Grandmother's Club," because that is just what most of us are now. And since raising our families has been the life's work of the majority of us, we thought you might like to hear of our accomplishments.
Some of our class have chosen the "Career Road." Of these none is more outstanding than Florence Buford. She received her Master's in Political Science from the U. of Va. and since then has been tireless in her efforts to make Charlottesville schools superior. Her many deeds have been recognized by the First Edition of Who's Who of Amerkiin Women. When Florence retired last year as principal in Charlottesville, having served thirty-three years, hers was the longest tenure of any principal there.
