To The Graduates Of 1958: In 1956 a dream came true for Dr. James B. Pritchard. For years German and American archeologists had disagreed as to what city was buried under el-Jib- - the Germans maintaining that it was Beeroth and the Americans Gibeon. By two summers of careful planning, Dr. Pritchard has proved beyond any reasonable doubt that the buried city is indeed Gibeon. Those of you who are students of Biblical history may recall that it was at Gibeon that Solomon had his famous dream in which he asked for wisdom in preference to riches. You may recall, too, that a dream was responsible for Solomon's building his famous temple according to the plans of David, his father. Recorded history is full of similar accounts in which dreams have altered the events of the times. Youth have sometimes been accused of being too prone to day-dream . I submit, however, that you should not be discouraged from dreaming. It is only by dreams - - visions, if you prefer - - that mankind has been able to lift himself above the level of the other animals. Youth somehow seems to have the ability to dream to a greater extent than older people. Walter D. Cocking, writing in the February 1958 issue of The School Executive, has said, It is a hard yet real truth that vision, courage, and creativity are characteristics which only those who are young in years possess in large abundancey. just one word of caution, however, in your dreaming. It must be accompanied by much hard work. It was fine for Dr. Pritchard to dream of finding the lost city of Gibeon, lying buried for over two thousand years. But before he could carry out his dream many months of detailed planning were necessary. There is a common tendency to call results of such a dream luck. One of the greatest dis- coveries of modern time, the discovery of vulcanization of rubber, was attributed to luck. Charles Goodyear, never attributed this discovery to luck. He had already worked for over five years on the problem when he accidentally threw his mixture of gum and sulphur on a pot-bellied stove, thereby ushering in a new era in transportation. About this accident he stated that like Newton's falling apple, it had meaning only for a man whose mind was prepared to draw an inference. Have your dreams then. We do not discourage you from having them. But be certain that you are prepared to pay the price in terms of hard work that is necessary to put them into execu- tion. About everything else make certain that your minds are prepared to draw an inference when luck does come as a result of your dreams. We trust too that there will be a new interest in the dream that Gibeon's re-discovery has brought to our attention, and that you will choose as Solomon did. If you do, you will undoubtedly agree with Edward Markham that Great it is to believe the dream When we stand in youth by the starry stream, But a greater thing is to iight life through And say at the end, 'The dream is truel' Very sincerely, WMJWWLM Robert W.
