TO THE 1952 GRADUATES In these days we hear a great deal about the need for moral values Moral values always have been important, they always will be important, and no moral value is more important than honesty, Honesty, broadly defined, sets high standards in mony areas of human con duct It requires us to pay our debts; it requires us to give in service at least os much os we expect to be paid for doing; it requires us to be bound by the marriage vows which we take, it requires us to keep our word whenever we have given it; it requires us to carry out responsibilities which we have accepted On one occasion, while working in a store, Abraham Lincoln unwittingly charged a woman customer six and one fourth cents more than he should have charged her After the store was closed for the day, Lincoln walked nearly three miles to correct his error This is the kind of honesty to which all of us ought to aspire.
