You are OUR guests this evening,

Today we have reached that goal
toward which we have been striv-
ing for four long, yet seemingly
short, years we have just begun to
find out how little we know and
how much there is for us to learn
For education is not merely the ac-
cumulation of facts and the commit

knowledge in such form that we ap-

and betterment OF the human race
The new education teaches us to
do our own thinking, it stimulates
us to seek constantly for the best

fully developed it becomes the
power by which we are guided
Our studies are the tools which we
must use In bringing this power
Emerson says: Men OF character
are the conscience of the society to
which they belong and this is
certainly true: for their influence is
felt everywhere and their spirit is
contagious
History proves how education and
training have changed the barbar-
