McAfee would be effective efforts to
direct a future program of research
and teaching toward a vision of a
contribution to the total person that
increases the ability to live as a free
individual, a contribution made
through direct service to college stu-

who in their tum will see this mis-
sion in their work with their stu-
dents.

If the portrait of Miss McAfee,
which is a focus of today's assembly,
should be a reminder of such pur-
poses, it will have fulfilled the most
worthy dreams of those who made
it possible.
