To you, who are our parents, there was a certain undefinable satisfaction and QLWQB' l pride that your boy had arrived at that stage of life. We all thought that we were then beginning to realize what life is, and yet what an illusion that was, for now and now only are we beginning to enter upon our life's work. So calling these exercises Commencement is most appropriate and its meaning and significance should not be misunder- stood. To say further that we have learned the bare rudiment of knowl- edge, and that we have only commenced to build the foundations of our lives, can scarcely be called exaggeration. If one thinks that all the things which he has done here at School is only a mere preparation for his future life, he would naturally be inclined to be very pessimistic that all the achievements which he had wrought should count for so little. Yet, laying aside all material advan- tages which cannot be disputed, is it not now with a feeling of exultatiou and pride that we realize that we have actually begun to build up our character? Even considering ourselves to have only laid the foundations of our future existence, are we not during our whole life preparing for the reward of the future of which not even the least of us should despair? One time while reading the Courtship of Miles Standish, I was particularly impressed by the sentiment in these two lines, Let us, then, be what we are, and speak what we think, and in all things Keep ourselves loyal to the truth, and the sacre-d professions of friend-- ship. It seems to be fitting that I recall them on an occasion like this be- cause of the lofty purpose and noble ideal those lines contain. If we could all through life live up to such ideals there would be no doubt of our success, and that, in itself, is a reason for remembering those words. 16
