t TO RICE NINETEEN TWENTY-NINE I know of nothing more exciting in the history of human thought than the ad- vent of a new philosophy of history on the one hand, or that of a new philosophy of science on the other. Within your Hfetinie two such advents have occurred. They are associated with the names of Spengler and Einstein. L ' shering in new philoso- phies of civilization and the cosmos, they have wrought veritable revolutions of the mind. Like all revolutions, they temporarily shocked the reason and staggered the imagination of men. Unlike most revolutions, they have invested light and the will to do well with new significance and power. They have been accomplished by the method of science at play on earlier notions of the physical universe and the progress of history. For four years at Rice you have been wrestling with revolutions in your own mind. While less racking, less rigorous than those I have mentioned, these per- sonal revolutions have been to you none the less real or far-reaching in importance. On reflection upon them in their wake, I trust you find them to have left with you the tolerant judgment, the refined taste, and the chaste imagination of a disci- plined mind. At all events, whether you have been quite aware of it or not. here again the same principle has been at play. For example, how much of your search- ing power in inquiry, of your enthusiasm for ideas, of your sharpening wit in argu- ment, of your adventures in discovery, of your skill in summary statement, of your conquest of ignorance, of your satisfaction in truth confirmed — how much of these things by which men live — how much of these things you owe to the mind and method of science at work within you. I should like to think that these conflicts of the mind will be among the most constantly recurring of your recollections of this place, because I like also to think that the soul you have found and the character you have formed in these conflicts of the mind will be of unfailing resource to you in the larger adventures of life you are about to undertake. For, above all things, truth beareth away the victory.
