And the Medical Committee has not been v . sitting idle, for more than 351,100,000 of this already has ,b ix been contingently pledged. N is-Q The construction of a boulevard on the west bank of T . l A the Schuylkill and the eventual widening of 33d Street if. . will vastly improve the approaches of the campus, and it it hoped that before so very long a way will be found to ' ,Q J remove the elevated freight line which divides the River .5 Athletic Fields from the Museum and Franklin Field. r 'e ' .lust such plans as these show how Pennsylvania, ever li unsatished with present achievements, continues to reach . out further and further, limited only in its efforts by the i . i t i element of time. l r . . 1 fi During the short time that the present graduate has Lenmg gs . made the campus his home, one change after another has been brought about until . ' . in outward appearance these grounds are as an aged oak covered with a new foliage. 2, Figuratively speaking, the campus has grown from a small sprout, shooting up T9 - Q and spreading out with the sands of time and being strengthened in its growth ' fit by the very atmosphere about it, but it is ever the same, unfaltering in its purpose. ,YQ A And each Pennsylvanian, whether of generations past, present, or future, will ..' ' ' hold it dear to his heart. When in years to come graduates have spread far and wide over the earth, :ig 'V when new hopes and aspirations in a different world distract from their recol- .iv .ii lection of bygone days, and when familiar faces of college classmates are long i 'jx forgotten, then. may the graduate turn to ' .p the pictures of his campus and call back to ,X if i memory the halls and walks of his Alma if gf, Mater and these, in turn, will open the door 11,5 . T V to the past. 0 Q Though changes since his time may have lig A been great, and the future may hold in store 9- , ' even greater changes, still the Pennsylvania if ' ll! atmosphere was, is, and will remain the same 'p . pm, pond forever. f yr wi -'ral 24 Ii:-A

Une of these is to preserve and disseminate what the world already knows. In dissemi- nating knowledge the University conducts its educational work of which the graduating class is in a sense the product. A second function of a University, necessarily connected with its educational work, is that of conducting research, in order to add new knowledge to what the world already knows. A third function of the University is to maintain in the community or nation certain standards of culture and of learning, in order that the whole nation may profit by having at least a part of its citizens well educated and provided with knowledge that can be applied not only to the practical needs of human life, but more particularly to the development of the mind and soul of the people. You who are being grad- uated from the University this year have been under the influence of teachers through whose efforts the University functions. You have been provided with opportunities to learn and with opportunities to understand the applications of knowledge both in the realm of matter and in the realm of spirit. You are, there- fore, better fitted to enjoy life to the full and to take your places as leaders of thought and of action than those persons who, less fortunate than yourselves, have never had such opportunities. The world has a right, therefore, to expect of you a higher standard of thinking and living than it can reasonably expect from persons who have not been brought into contact, through classrooms and books, with the best that is known and thought in the world. To the results of your personal experience and observation you have added the results of the experi- ence and' observation of men of many generations. You are able to interpret the present in the light of the past, and you are able also, through a recognition of the laws which operate in human life, whether individual or community, to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty what will probably happen in the future through the operation of these laws. There is somewhat the same difference between the life of a University trained man or woman and one who is not so trained, that there is between the simple barter by the interchange of commodi- ties and the international banking system. One is a very simple process, the other is equally simple in principle, but complicated in its operations. The Uni- versity now enrolls you among its Alumni. It is proud of you, because it believes that the influences to which you have been subjected, and the use which you will make of them, will be for the happiness not only of yourselves but of those with whom you associate. It is through you that the University makes its largest contribution to the good of the world. As you go forth from the Univer- sity halls you will be followed by the affectionate interest of your teachers and associates, and you will soon come to realize that being a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania means much.
