THE 1927 DART A lilttf learning is a dantieraus Ihiny: Drink deep, or lasle not the Pierian spring. So says Pope in his Essay on Criticism. I am not assuming that any one in your honored class feels he has advanced far enough in the field of learning, but there is always a danger that some will be satisfied with the attainments here achieved. Far better is that attitude which considers all of life both an opportunity for and a field of learning. Pope has another appropriate word in his Essay on Man. Learn from the birds what linid the thickets yield: Learn from the beasts the physic of the field: The arts of building from the bee receive: Learn of the mole to plough, the ivorm to weave In other words, the man or woman who goes through life with eyes. ears. mind, and heart open is constantly learning and constantly growing. You are to be congratulated on the age in which you live. Your first and greatest interest is to understand this age. It is a lime dominated by Business, and largely measured by material things. The achievements of the past which have reached their culmination in the present scientific age have been chiefly in the field of invention and discovery. Mechanics and commerce have largely dominated men ' s imagination, hence th; perfection of machines, the expansion of commerce, and the growth of wealth: but with these things human problems have increased In these material expansions per- sonal interests have frequently conflicted, jealousies have arisen, and wars have resulted. The present wave of ill will, distrust, and recriminations has been inevitable because the emphasis of life has been placed upon material things rather than upon spiritual values. The seas of international understanding and good will, the oceans of Christian brotherhood, arc yet uncharted and unplumbed. They need some new Columbus in his three ships — Faith. Understanding, and Good Will — to undertake another daring voyage of discovery to find that land that lies within the realm of possibility, but as yet is (erro incognita to so much of the world. Jason seeking the Golden Fleece. Sir Launfal in quest of the Holy Grail. Marconi inventing wireless telegraphy. Captain Byrd encircling the pole — all these appeal to our imagination, but the man who makes Christian brotherhood a reality, who leads in the conquest of disease and poverty, who makes war an impossibility, and teaches the world how to live together in peace and amity in spite of conflicting interests and misunderstandings, of race or creed — his services to mankind will be far greater than that of any one who has gone before. This oppor tunity is yours. This new world, dreamed of by seers and foretold by prophets, will become a reality only as it is espoused by human leaders. Among these twentieth century crusaders to whom is entrusted this sacred cause, may you of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-seven find an honored place. Yours faithfully, John W. Long. l . . . . jt. . . .Mt . .M . . . . . ' v%.y:k. »x - - Mh ' ::hA - ' h: ' .Vh.vK f !i!»: ' iil Eight
