Speech Day, June 19, 1965 Brentwood graduates and all present at the Gradua- tion Ceremonies were treated to an exceptionally fine commencement address by Dr. M. McGregor, Head of Department of Classics, University of British Co- lumbia. Noting that self-education was as available as, and sometimes better than, higher or university education, Professor McGregor went on to destroy some of the more common myths surrounding those of graduation age, and to lay a basis for more lasting and real atti- tudes on life. He touched on many topics in a very short talk: Religion — The Greeks had one religion and many Gods. We have one God and many religions. ' How extraordinary ' , the Greeks would say ; the Press — Don ' t ever believe that headlines ever tell you what really happened ; Government — Don ' t be persuaded that democracy is the only possible good form of government — it isn ' t ; Universities — Some of the big- gest lunatics I know make their living behind a uni- versity lectern ; Modern education — The latest style seems to be degrees in a hurry; this isn ' t true educa- tion. Holidays are to let what you have learned sink in. A vacation is just as much a part of a B.A. as books and courses . But he did not just pick apart. Professor McGregor offered the graduates this challenge; to develop the ability to think for themselves, to learn to discrimin- ate, to judge, to pick and choose between conflicting ideas and ideals. He spoke to the graduates on their own terms, with wit and logic. One Grade XII member remarked later that, Here we had someone telling us things that mat- tered, in a way that made sense, and in a way that left us feeling we could do something about what he said. This is indeed a high compliment, coming from an habitually critical audience. A forceful address delivered in such an entertaining way is a rarity, and students and staff here thank Professor McGregor for a refresh- ing close to a years studies. Mrs. McGregor graciously consented to present the subject and form prizes, and the school awards. 6
