The best of good wishes to the graduates of 1932. Almost the earliest recorded utterances of men express the conviction that times are changing and things are not what they were. Indeed one may say they never have been. It is therefore perhaps foolish to label these present years as a period of transition. And yet you are peculiarly fortunate in emerging from the academic chrysalis at a time when the hard cake of social custom has cracked in all directions and there is wide scope for fresh ideas. I hope you have learnt at Queen’s that to act without knowledge is foolish and to know without acting is futile, and that with a sure sense of the value of study as a basis for conduct you will each in your own line contribute richly to the evolution of a happier and healthier human society.
