Fellow Graduates: ri :: First, may I express to you my heartiest congratulations on the successful completion of your College studies. During college days you acquired knowledge, but now you should develop the ability to reflect and grow in wisdom. Until now your minds were filled with theories and specula- tions as formulated by others but now, upon graduation, you should develop the capacity to think and inquire for your- selves. An educated person is one who possesses the great desire to gain fresher and sounder information and a thirst for creative thought. You must remember that you cannot for- ever entrust your thinking to others. The endless search after G-d ' s knowledge which helps us to orientate ourselves in the uncharted land of the spirit, and the continuous thirst to become acquainted with the discoveries of the human intellect create a harmonious perfection of one ' s personality. Remain firm in your convictions, and hold yourselves responsible for translating your ideals into realities. Above all, remember that being better men is of greater sig- nificance than being financially better off. I have abiding faith that you will govern your lives by the standards of the Torah, by the great principles of our American democracy, and that you will consider your education as a means towards a greater end — towards consecrated service to our fellowmen. May you, by your conduct, by your firmness to uphold the eternal tradition of Israel bring honor and glory to your- selves as well as to your Alma Mater. Samuel Belkin President
