MIR. Richards Address.
Mr. Richards in his address TO thi
graduates. said
Eighteen years have passed since
on a similar occasion. occupied IN
same position these graduates no,
occupy. In passing those years hay
seemed to speed with the rapidity d
an express train: but, standing her
and looking backward through tn
many incidents that have crowded IN
interval the event seems much fur
ther away 1t all points my mind 4
the thought that VIC Americans livl
at too rapid a pace. Racing with tn,
night of time. we scramble so madll
/ for material success that we are un
I lrown to our neighbors and scarcely
acquainted with the members of oul
own families. A keen observer of to-
day has said that the concomitants Of
vast industrial and commercial prog.
ress are "a love of luxury,
a mater.alistic tone OF mind,
and a tendency to send culture to tho
mint and TO the market place to be
stamped SO that 1t may be readily eX
changed for the means Of soft living.
81 would not minimize tho impor
tance of material progress. Much tina
is accomplished for the betterment o
mankind would be impossible withou
the wonderful material advancement
Of the civilized peoples. With the vas
accumulated wealth of today, witt
the splendid means Of quick transpor
tation. with the wonderful and awe
inspiring achievements in electricity
whereby. without the intervention o
any visible instrumentality. we com
municate almost instantly with the re
motcHt parts of the earth. have com
such opportunities for progress il
other lines OF human endcavOr as wor
never limnod by the consciousness o
the nearest generations that have pre-
ceded us.
"If / possessed the imagination an
the tongue OF the orator. Nigh
thrill you with word pictures Of tn
wonderful achievements the youn
men Of this graduating class shall wit
ness during the period of that activ
life they enter upon today.
"But ! would urge upon them th
though that all of our effort, all q
cur striving. should not he devoted
i the pursuit Of gain. 7 would ure
upon them the thought that our oT
portunities for material success an
happiness exist only by reason of gov
ernment I would urge upon thel
the thought that the wonderful nc
vancement of the human race in MOD
4. ern times has been possible only b
reason of enlightened government
would urge upon them the though
that we Of today owe a debt 10 th
numberless generations that have pre-
> ceded MS and have struggled an
given up their lives to establish 70
} mankind a form of government where
in we are, or have the opportunity
, be. our own rulers; a debt that it
perhaps impossible for any slngl
generation TO repay. We can best pa
that debt by striving to add somethin
/ to the debt Of the generations to con
