SIMPSON CIIAXCKLLOR OF MAF.V WASHINGTON COLLEGE OF THE rXIVERSITY OF VIRGIXLV I will luni aside, and sci ' why, was the keynote of llie adih ' ess given by Dr. Simpson at !Mary Washington ' s opening convocation for the year. In lliis talk. Dr. Simpson demonstrated the importance of a dedicated search for truth, an awakening of the individual to his obligations to a vocation or calling, and the realization of the necessity for creating, with the help of others of like mind, civilization and society worthy of the innate dignity of the individual man. This address was meant to guide each student toward her future life as a capable, thoughtful individual, and could well serve as a guide- post for students as they leave Mary Washington to assume their place in society. An enlightening example, however, might be Dr. Simpson himself, as he has earned, through his own wisdom, sincerity, and friendliness, unlimited respect and devotion.
