l r SIGLENGQWAN ROAD TORONTOIZ TO THE GRADUATING CLASSES of the UNIVERSITY OF WESTERN ONTARIO, 1955. As one who has himself experienced the joys and regrets of undergraduate years, and has seen very many like you make ready to start forth on an- other stage in life's journey, I am glad, in response to the kind invi- tation of the Editor of HTHE OCCIDENTALIAN, to send you a few words of oongratulation and cheer. Your career at the University of Western Ontario will, to most of you, continue to be, I hope, not merely a happy memory, but an intellectual and spiritual impetus. If you allow it free course, this initial impetus will carry you to higher and more secure positions, from which you will be able, with increasing confidence, to survey the new tasks and problems of life. Reasonable self-determina- tion, under the clear apprehension of spiritual idealism, is the quality of a truly educated person: but it can only be maintained if it be practised without haste and without rest. Like personal liberty, in which it is an element, it is never completely won by a single effort. The free man or woman is one who is always becoming freer. Nothing is sadder than to see young people grow gradually cynical or indifferent, and, before middle life, lose their freedom, becoming slaves to their environment, or to their own selfishness, which they have not had the will or the courage to restrain. Do try to keep your mind and spirit free. Let your own native endowments have scope. Think for yourselves: and allow others to think for themselves. Then you will discover that life will be, to the end of the chapter, a happy process of higher and, ever higher education. Y Y A
