Howard Calls For Activity During Summer
Dean Worth Howard released the loUowing annual message addressed to the graduates and Undergraduates of this academic year.
«So the academic year of 195i!-53 has come to an end I We lace a period which some choose to call a vacation. I do not like using the word because it seems to be too closely associated with «va-cants». Time is too precious a commodity lor us to term a period ol four months a «vacant time.u Thus I prefer to think that we have a four month break in which we may adopt a different routine from that ol the school year.
«The Juniors may feel little choice is left them since they have project material to gather and work over. Sophomores, irresh-men, and Pre-Freshmen prooaDiy do not have anything so specific to engage them; so they may fall into the danger of losing the summer. And the summer will be a loss ol some definite goals are not early taken and sought.

Badeau Explains Role of AUC
President Dr. John S. Badeau in his comencement speech entitled «Is there a place for the American
University at Cairo» said that peace in the world cannot be secured with treaties and pacts but only when the people of the world meet and work together as men ol good will. «That is why the American University is here, and why it surely has an enduring place In the life both of the Middle Bast and the United States.»

commencement I .shall those who are leaving AUC, a member, if you will, of the Class of 1953. It has taken me seventeen years to go through the University — surely a record both of slow progress and Faiulty patience !
That I shall remember most is not my experience as a teacher, dean or president, but the satisfaction ol finding friends through working at a common task. Students, teachers, clerical staff, Americans, Arabs — all of us have put our hands together to the greatest job in the world — the job of making better and more able men and women. That is AUC, and that is why being at AU^ has meant so much to me.
Fob those who leave the Um-versity with me this year — and those who stay — I hope that life will hold more of this adventure of friendship; friendship which knows no barriers of race, religion or nationality, but is built on our enlistment together in the common cause ol humanity.
Nabila Houhi, graduate of this year, presented a cup to Dean Howard to be given to the coed tennis champion every year. This cup will be called the Nouhl Cup.
