James Ford Rhodes Alumni Assocation 2013
NEIL D. MATHEWS
Members of the Class of June 1945 : In the years of your lives, up to this time , you have experi enced two of the worst social dislocations in the history of our country- the depression of the eariy thirties and the present war. Certainly brighter days lie ahead, and we trust their arrival will not be long delayed . Each of you will have your part to play in the establishment and operation of guarantees against a recurrence of catastrophies such as these. May your individual parts be done with intelligence, courage, and the broad outlook of world citizens . Best wishes to each of you. Sincerely, NEIL D. MATHEWS
