itw' M -' The other evening there sat in my office a young man whom I had never seen before. He said that he did not see how he could do it but that he wanted to attend college. When I asked him why he looked rather shy and then braced himself and said, You may think I'n1 crazy but I look at life this way. I have only one life and when I get to be sixty or seventy I want to be able to look back and feel that my life has counted for something worth while. I hope that that is the way you feel today. Hedonism, in all its various forms, is one of the prevailing philisophies of our age. The pursuit of pleasure is a natural reaction to the perplexing combination of circumstances which face such an age. But hedonism always has a sting in its tail! Whether it be the ancient precept, Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow ye die or the modern counter-part, Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think , the hedonistic guides are always .Iob's comforters. I would rather say to you, t'Work and strive for tomorrow ye livef' A thoughtful student, a member of this class, recently said to me that in college we are taught to question all things and that is good for us except that we never question very seriously the prevailing basic materialistic philosophy of our age. Well I would like to question it today. I still suggest that A man's life con- sisteth not of the abundance of things he possessethu. I still suggest that faith and love are your greatest possessions - faith in divine purposes in the universe, faith in yourselves and faith in the unity of mankind as the children of God. Finally, may I warn you, as I have previous classes, that education is notan imperishable commodity. An old teacher of mine once wrote that nothing, except religion, disintegrates as fast as education once the seeking for it stops. You have, I hope, the foundation of a good education but whether you let it disintegrate or build upon it depends on you. You stand at the threshold of the second half of the twentieth century. In spite of its problems the world, to you, should be young, challenging, and fresh as the dawning ofanew day. In this spirit may you, Go forth to serve thy country and mankind .
