The address to the class was CIV
en- by Rev. Frederick B. Richards.
His subject was THE Art of Be
having" and he said in part: The
aim of education and of life as a
whole is to learn how to behave. By
behave we mean to act correctly. In
order to act in harmony with our ma
ture we must learn to know self;
to know our physical self, our moral
self, our social self, and also our
higher or spiritual self. By eff
cheney we mean that there is a right
and wrong way of doing everything
and we must learn to grasp the
handle of our being" Graduation
is not an ending but a commence
ment. Before you is the possibility
of something beyond your dreams.
The greatest thing you can say is Il
will make the most of myself" You
yesterday crowned sercice as your
ideal. The world asks you to go
forth and serve humanity. You
must try to behave as a full-rounded
expection of what you may be and
use your powers in the service of
humanity.
