E E 2 E E E S I S' E To the Class of 1928, Greetmgs: 5 3 .': 5 First, let me congratulate you as a class upon having completed yourcourses of study E E and attained yourvdegrees. Second., let me congratulate you upon having attained these E E degrees from a University, the traditions of which reach back to a time prior to the organiza- E E tion' of the Nation, a time 1n which men of spiritual leadership, extraordinary intellectual X 5 ability, and far-sighted wisdom- were drawing up a form of government that represented E E in some ways a political experiment, and in other ways followed the thoughts which had X E been, with increasing importance, occupying the attention of the wise men of Europe. 'To 5 E the men who participated in the deliberations' from' which came the form of government of E E the United States of America, the young institution, which has developed into the University E E of Pennsylvania, made a large contribution. Your inheritance as University graduates E E includes the entire history of the Nation. It is a great thing to be academically the lineal E 5 descendantsgof those who saw, as did our founder, Benjamin Franklin, that knowledge and E E the appl1cat1ons.of knowledge are useful to the well-being and happiness of men and com- E E munities. It willlwell repay you to study the history of your University and to see how, E S throughout the. history of the Nation, it has always played an important part in those E E deliberations of which our form of government and our happiness as a people has been E : safeguarded and preserved. S 1 I 1 you go forth on Commencement- Day as graduates of a University that has these- great 5 5 traditions, and 'that throughout its history has been true to them. You have sat under the E E teaching of great scholars, of mein who have exemplified in their lives and in their teachings E E the. best thought of the best minds of all the ages. The community and the Nation of E E which you are citizens may reasonably expect of you a higher type oft devotion and service E E than that which it may expect from others who have not enjoyed your privileges. As a E3 E result of your education, you have been brought at least to the door of the worldls great E, 5 treasure houses of thought and inspiration. It is your privilege ,as you proceed in life to E, 5 enter further into those treasure houses and to take as your own what you hnd will be if E your greatest permanent beneht. EN E The wisdom of mankind is not all to be found in books or in museums or in works E' E of art. It may also be acquired by daily contact with those who are mtellectually your 5 E elders, and it may be imparted by you to those whopare intellectually younger. You have, l E therefore, a double responsibility, one the responsibility for falthfulness to what the past E E has taught you and to the memory and teachmgsuof the great souls of- the earth, the other : E a responsibility to those who, younger than you, will look to you,for guidance and leadership. E E The University has opened the doors to you. Your life after' leaving the University E E will demonstrate to you and to the world the value of the opportunities that you have had. E E In giving you this brief parting message, Ido not wish you to feel that you are separat- E E ing yourself from the University, for you can never do.that.. Its service to you has been E E too great to be forgotten, and its influence upon you will still be potent, though you live 5 E beyond the ordinary span of human life. p 5 Faithfully yours, E : f g H.
