President ' s Message To the Members of the Graduating Classes of W illiamsport -Dickinson : Soon after Commencement last summer a friend sent me a copy of the message of the Pres- ident of an Eastern college to the 1935 Class of the institution over which he presided. The sentiment is so fine and so well expressed and I so heartily concur in it that I am taking the lib- erty to pass it on to you. I trust it may be an inspiration to you. I think I know something of your feel- ings in this last moment before you go out as alumni of your college. Your feeling is not one of exaltation but rather of confusion. You are assailed not so much by satisfaction as by uncer- tainty. You feel, not confident, but inadequate. I warn you that you enter a world which is more confused than you are. The old certainties are gone in every department of life. The savings and sure- ties on which men counted are swept away. Money which once seemed fixed is made to fluctuate with each legislative act. Institutions into which have gone the labors and hopes and confidence of men are voted out of existence or threat- ened by the weird creations or exotic imaginations. Old laws of economics are superseded or violated. The straight rule of mathematics and physics becomes twisted and perverted through relativity. Solemn treaties become scraps of paper. Debts of honor are repudiated by individuals, institutions and nations. Midst plenty men hunger. With the world ' s work waiting men loiter in the market place. And over all the confusion is heard the din of the dissipated who fiddle while Rome burns. Men of 19 35, you enter now into the most confused and uncertain world into which college men have gone for many generations. May you enter that world with an iron chord ringing in your souls. In all ages of confusion and dismay there were men who stood sublime. They stood, not because they knew the technical, political or sociological solutions to their problems but rather because they had laid hold upon certain simple morali- ties, certain high ethical principles and certain spiritual values which held them steady and showed them, at least, what not to do. You have these moralities and ethical principles and spiritual values. You, too, know this eternal God who will not be mocked. You have some values greater than technical solutions. You have that by which you can test every panacea, every proposal and every device. You can detect the base, the sordid, the selfish, or the cowardly in every national and in every personal proposal. You will not always know what is wise but you will always know what is wrong. You have already, here, today, the basic principles by which your life can win and by which you can stand sublime even amidst the confusion of social or national crisis. You have everything. In a closing prayer I ask no more than that God may keep you true to the known right. - . y j] J n K T
