A message from High Point University President Dr. Martinson
^G
ongratulations Class of 1998
■ W**.*j
We are proud of you. When I
was a boy, I learned a verse by
Longfellow which has haunted
me in a good way:
Lives of great men [women] all
remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time.
What a splendid message that
sent to me in my youth - it still
does. Each of us is special, and
we want to use our live for
something that counts. We want
purpose and direction. I prayed
for that in my youth, and I still
do. I think all of us want purpose
to our existence, that which
motivates us to do good and
even great things. What is good?
What is great? Goodness and
even greatness to me is giving
from the heart, anything else is
a cheat on life.
In spite of what we may read
and hear about our society in
need, I have great faith in
students. You are the future, and
I have faith in you. Our prayers
go with you always.
With highest regard,
<*.f<*ZZ(;d£^J

UR COMMUNITY
We arrived on campus our freshmen year knowing no one. As we
began to participate in activities, we recognized faces and remembered
names. Acquaintances and friendships were formed as we served our
campus and our community. As seniors, we realized the value of that
community and the process which brought us to that point.

Our Community
First, a college is an educationally purposeful community - a place where faculty and
students share academic goals and work together to strengthen teaching and learning
on campus.
Second, a college or university is an open community - a place where freedom of
expression is uncompromisingly protected and where civility is powerfully affirmed.
Third, a college or university is a just community - a place where the sacredness
[supreme worth] or the person is honored and where diversity is aggressively pursued.
Fourth, a college or university is a disciplined community - a place where individuals
accept their obligations to the group and where well-defined governance procedures
guide behavior for the common good.
Fifth, a college or university is a caring community - one in which the well-being of each
member is sensitively supported and where service to others is encouraged.
Sixth, a college or university is a celebrative community - one in which the heritage of
the institution is remembered and where rituals affirming both tradition and change are
widely shared.
