Dr. Lewis G. Sterner ffl - 4' rK,QA,1fi,fJ tl . lg fxf -wymj CLASS SPONSOR N ONE at my senior classes this term l was asked this very pertinent guestioni What is an edu- cated man? The guestion was not only pertinent, it was extremely ditticult to answer. One might read all ot European and Oriental philosophy-ff trom Confucius and the author ot Proverbs, through Plato and the medieval schoolmen, to Cardinal Newman, Woodrow Wilson, George Santayana, and the most recent addresses ot college presidents, big and littlefand tind no conclusive answer. Styles in culture change as do styles in dress and political organization, But the guestion demanded an an- swer, and l tried to answer it. As l see it, the genuinely educated man stands apart tram his tellows as a man ot broad interests and sympathies, Bigotry, narrowness, and proe vincialism are toreign to the truly educated mind. A wide catholicity ot taste, a deep appreciation ot moral and political creeds in which he does not believe, genuine interest in all human activities are the marks ot the educated man, l' ' ' All this is in addition to the specialized knowl- edge that enables the man to earn a living, l tried, in other words, to tell the questioner and his friends that one possible detinition ot an educated man is this: One who has mastered some one field ot human knowledge and at the same time has ac- auired an intelligent interest in all others.
