we lgrefiiclenfli 056690 If I were able to speak to you as a class in a familiar, informal gathering or talk at some length with each of you personally, we would no doubt recall and discuss what these past four years have meant both to you and the Uni- versity. As for the latter, your graduation, I might remind you with some pride, will mark the completion of the first decade in its history: an exhilarating and fruitful decade, in which you have taken a rewarding part. You are aware, I am sure, and feel gratified that you have helped carry one stage further the ideal of a quality school which will, we trust, always be known as the tradi- tion of Brandeis. In the meantime each of you individually has now gone to collegef, I often wonder, and wish I had the insight to know, in which direction and how far you have gone, what you found on the road and what you are taking away with you. I am not primarily thinking of your particular studies or grades, nor of what you did in college, but of what college did to you. In order to reap the true benefits of education, one line of study is as fertile as another - any- thing that comes to our hand, said Montaigne, is as good as a book, and scholastic grades, when set against reality, merely indicate that an attempt has been made to weigh imponderables in an imaginary scale. I am hopeful that during your college experience you have noted that no course of study, unless I've misread our General Catalog, undertook to teach you wisdom, creativity, or character-building. The most a curriculum and fac- ulty, along with campus living, can do is to expose you to these essential goals of education, goals, moreover, which must be pursued for better or worse by all of us throughout the tenure of our lives. Even in the end, our education merely stops: it is never completed. ,These time-worn and obvious truths are apparently destined for a greater role than to serve as the adornment of a Yearbook message. Unless all signs fail, our education-not only what we learn but our process of learning- will become a matter of unprecedented consequence in the years that lie ahead. Our country will in every likelihood be called upon to muster its utmost mate- rial and spiritual resources in order to checkmate, and thereby avert, the threat of a universal catastrophe. The free world is being put to the proof: it will stand or fall upon the ability of the American people to discipline itself to the accomplishment of a gigantic task, without at the same time betraying or de- stroying its own ideals of freedom. Never before has our nation been compelled in an era of ostensible peace to marshal its strength as though for war. And never before has the recruiting field, the staging area, been so literally our schools and colleges. Waterloo was won on the playing-grounds of Eton, the menace of Armageddon must be dissipated in the classrooms of our land. I am hopeful that the Brandeis ex- perience has contributed its modest share in turning the tide of battle. ca farm
