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.
