m AY Read This Aloud to Yourselves, Graduates (Editor’s Note: The following speech is a composite of what every out¬ side commencement speaker for the last thirty years has said at the graduation exercises. Let three decades of fossils regale you. Take it seriously and we feel sure you will be successes.) Graduates of this most glorious institution: “1 congratulate you upon this happy occasion. As 1 look into your young faces my heart goes out in honest joy. You are, indeed, a fine looking group of young men and women; in fact, I can truth¬ fully say that you are the most inspiring, the best looking, the most intelligent, and by far the most charming group 1 have ever before had the pleasure of addressing. Oh graduates! don’t lose the bloom—the freshness of youth—and the ambition that you now have. Realize that soon it will be your turn to run the affairs of the world, when we older ones have turned over the reins to you. The future of the race is in your hands. Realize that soon you must be wisely placing your votes, as honest citizens of this great and eternal republic. “1 have been informed that you are the biggest and the best class that this institution has ever produced; but no one needed to tell me; I could tell that by just looking at you. You are, I know you are, one of the most intelligent classes ever graduated from an institution of this sort. You are far above the average. From your very numbers here, the leaders and miracle workers of the next decades will come. “Lead a clean, industrious life and you will succeed. Keep r egular habits, revere the great fathers of our nation and you cannot fail. . . Oh, men and women of the future: As I gaze at your smiling lips, your guileless eyes, your unclouded brows, and your eager faces, my bosom swells. What a splen¬ did generation you are going to make! “I am proud of you, proud that I have been given this great opportunity to speak before you. 1 hope my message will be an inspiration to you. 1 know you will be worthy of the trust we place in you. “Men and women of tomorrow: the world awaits you with outstretched arms! May you succeed. My blessings upon you.’’ Je Ten
