H. F. Hall, B.A., Dean Delivered to the Class oI195O at the Baccalaureate Service Sunday May, 28. BACCALAUREATE ADDRESS One dictionary defines a baccalaureate address as a farewell speech to a graduating class. If that is the case it is perhaps not inappropriate that an official of the College, rather than an outsider, should be asked to give the address. How- ever, this places a heavy responsibility on me for it means that I have to speak for the faculty and, in the second place, it means that this is my last chance to talk with you at least officially. As to speaking for the faculty, I feel sure that I cannot adequately do so. There is little chance of agreement among them with most of which I shall have to say. That is probably a good thing. It means at least that you have been exposed to various points of view and that whatever shortcomings you see in us you can never accuse us, as an institution, of trying to indoctrinate you with one particular philosophy of life. At least there is something which I can say to you with which, Iam sure, the whole faculty will agree. That is that it has been stimulating to know you and that we sincerely wish you well. The class of 1950 is the largest in the history of the College. Your convo- cation will be the fifteenth at which I have had the honour to present the individual members for degrees and the fifteenth at which Principal Norris has presented the degrees, Every class has its own characteristics and you have others beside that of being the largest. Many of you are veterans of the world's greatest conflict which closed five years ago this summer. Some of you are graduates of the College's Claremont Division through which so many young men and women Call veteransj obtained admission to this and to other colleges. Many of you are members of the now historic J and S classes who worked along with us through hot summers andlong winters to gain what you have now achieved. The memories of those stren- uous but fast moving months and years will always be a part of your college exper- ience. Many of you are evening students who have had an even longer college life. l'm sure I shall be excused if I say a special word of commendation to those few who were established undergraduates here before the war and who went away to serve in various capacities and are now, after further years of effort, achieving a long-sought goal. Many of you are, of course, not veterans, for a whole college generation has had time to come and go since the war ended. Perhaps you too deserve special commendation for it must have seemed to you, at times, that the veterans were getting all the attention. To say the least it must have been trying not to be able to call the Bursar's office to collect a government cheque at the end of each monthl Now you are about to graduate, what can I tell you? May my last word be one of encouragement and of inspiration. Not all will agree with my ideas but may I ask you to believe that they are deeply sincere? After an orgy of examinations, accompanied I fear by a certain amount of cramming, it would not be difficult to carry away the idea that to many the mere ingestion of the raw materials of knowledge is the most important thing. Far be it from me to deprecate knowledge, but of itself it is of little worth. Though I have all knowledge I am nothing? As I see it the greatest need of our uneasy, mater- ialistic world is apractical belief that the development of persons is the greatest thing in the world.
