tne Administration o, ne of the great, if not the greatest, problems confront ' ng modern education is the utilization of the knowledge acquired in college and its application to the broad needs of modern life. A college education, it is generally agreed, should consist of more than the mere execution of intellectual minutes. The problem of relating the part of the whole, in whatever way we state it, and of the evaluation of the whole in terms of the basic goals has been the principal burden of educotioaol gatherings for some time. I know of no one who has expressed the dilemma more eloquently than Whitehead: The fading of ideals is sad evidence of the defeat of human endeavor. In the schools of antiquity philosophers aspired to impart wisdom, in modorn colleges our humbler aim is to teach subjects. Yeshiva College will hardly admit to the fading of ideals in spite of its concern with the teaching of subjects. The power of ideals, I am confident, has not been extinguished by the demands of courses at Yeshiva. The class of 1955 alone must bear witness, however, to the soundness of the synthesis undertaken by Yeshiva. In wishing members of the graduating class every success in life and career, may I add that the measure of this success will be the justification of the kind of education offered by Yeshiva. Such success will come not only with material achievement but with the fruition of the seeds of wisdom planted here. I hope, in addition, that members of the class will carry away from this institution as warm a feeling as we of the college have formed for them, during the years of their sojourn at Yeshiva.
