Graduation Night Program THE WELL-EDUCATED MAN AND THE LIBERAL ARTS Members of the Board of Education, Teachers, Parents and Friends: On behalf ™ my ,°;®S! na „ s } w sh to welcome you to the commencement exercises of the Class of 1959 Tonight we shall try to convey to you our ideas on the question What Is An Educated Man?” Perhaps the individual’s first step toward becoming an educated man is the pursuit of the liberal arts. The greatest strength of the liberal arts lies in their ability to foster communication among people. Certainly today the need for com¬ munication betvveen countries as well as between individuals is greater than ever before, modern transportation has made the world smaller, and contact with people of other nations has become more frequent. How can one conceive of the liberal arts—in which we include languages, the nne arts, history, philosophy, and the pure sciences—as fostering communication? Certainly the idea that languages foster communication is a simple one to grasp It is through languages that we convey ideas as well as feelings. We must not onlv be able to express ourselves in our own language, but we must also be able to speak the languages of other peoples in the world. Just an an individual responds more readily if one knows his language, so may whole countries respond. Languages reflect national as well as individual growth. The course of de¬ velopment within a nation, both pyhsical and spiritual, is evident in epics biograph¬ ies. and histories peculiar to that nation. The study of a nation ' s literature has a broadening effect upon the student who strives for a subtle and total grasp of the thought and emotional expression of a people different from his own. „ S ?; to °’ music and art of a nation convey differences of temperament and thought peculiar to that nation, though on a more abstract level. Studv of both modes of expression offers valuable opportunity for observation of such differences. History of all nations points both backward and forward. If we are to under- stand the present and plan wisely for the future, we must know and understand the past. We must know and accept the differences of groups and their cultures It is evident from these several examples that the liberal arts can be said to foster communication. And one of the marks of the educated man is his ability to be understood and to understand. y Sonia A. Tomaszek CO Page
