After the awarding of degrees,
President Hill made, according to
custom, brief address to the class
just graduated. He said that he saw
three changes which had taken place
in the four years the young men had
spent in college. Their features had
acquired an expression which repre-
sented minds stirred and ennobled by
thought. They had learned to shape
their lives by reason and self-control,
had become dominant over impulse.
They had learned to form independ-
ent conclusions about life.
Now with this equipment, continued
DR.. Hill, the graduating class ought
to be not parrots but leaders. They
were ready for life; but they had to
choose how to live. They might
choose to live with the king of
thought, dilated in mind, inspired,
powerful, useful Another possible
life, he continued, is a career of medi-
ocrity, in sight of the promised land
but only in sight of it. A third posi-
BILE choice is life of swinishDess, with
the power derived from education
prostituted to immoral aims. The
man who is not constantly ascending,
said DR.. Hill, is in danger ofconstant-
~ descending, and he added that the
college expected it's graduates. to i'm
prove in-technical knowledge, in
breadth view. in helpfulness to man.
kind, and in self-control. In conclu-
sion, he expressed the hope that the
young men leaving the A. & M. Col
lege with their diplomas would go
out with their hearts inspired with a
desire for self-sacrifice and service.
