Principal Just about 200 years ago the philosopher Berkeley made a remark reminiscent of a famous Socratic dictum. “Whatever the world thinks,” he said, “he who hath not much meditated upon God, man, and the summum bonum may perhaps make a thriving earthworm but will certainly be a sorry patriot and a sorry Christian.” In the last four years you have in- creasingly taken a larger share in determining the direction and form of your education. You have already begun to see that all knowledge is not of equal value, that with all our knowing, there is something else, we sometimes call it wisdom, that has to do with our attitude towards learning and the use we make of our knowledge. Cultivate then those experiences that cause you to think about the wider question of life’s mean- ing, and do not worry if neat, textbook answers are not readily forth- coming. It may be that you will only find an answer in the use you make of life. And, as William James said, “The great use of life is to spend it for something that outlasts it.”
