where who was interested and even II
I failed to win a prize l would get
the prettiest and most delicate bouquet
that would be sent to the rostrum. And
then for weeks before the commence
ment time we would have all the best
buggy horses and incest buggles en-
gagged to take our girls to ride during
the commencement. Now they take
them in their own limousines. And
then you could always tell when the
commencement time had arrived, be-
cause on Saturday all of the Lutheran
preachers for mile around would be-
gin coming into town and you would
see Col. T. w. Holloway, Maj. P. E.
Wise, Capt. J. C. Seegers and others
l could mention around the hotel, and
you would know that the commence
ment was on in Newberry. 1t was a
great event in those days. 1t was the
talk of the town and every one was
interested. The exercises then were
held in the old court house. We didn't
have so many professors then and
neither did we have so many students.
Times have changed. Conditions are
different. The town has grown. The
college has grown. We are all ad-
vancing. l hope it means we are
growing better as we advance.
The commencement this year began
with the baccalaureat sermon Sunday
morning by the Rev. DR.. F. G. Gotwald
of York, Pa. I wish / had space to
print the sermon in full. 1t was one
of the most polished and meaty ser
mons that l have ever heard. 1t was
scholarly. 1t had note of altruism
in it which always appeals to me. 1t
was an address to the young graduate
admonishing self conquest and calling
for an altruism which will help to up
lift the fallen and spread the sunshine
OF kindness and sympathy over the
pathway of the struggling millions OF
earth.
DR.. Gotwald is the editor OF Luth-
eran Church Work and Observer, Off
cial weekly of the general synod OF
the Lutheran church in the United
States.
The speakers text was Luke 12:4S:
"For unto whomsoever much is given
of him shall much be required, and to
whom men have committed much OF
him they will ask the more"
His theme was "The obligation of
an educated man.
After describing the advantages OF
a college course. "the four best years
of your life he referred specifically
to the personal relationships, some
times romantic, established in college
days, the services of the faculty, and
the athletic, musical, social, fraternal,
literary and religious associations OF
the college life.
He then discussed the obligation
growing out of these privileged years:
first, that of self conquest and, sec
ondly, altruistic devotion to others. To
illustrate both he cited the case OF
Pestalozzi, the pioneer in modern
pedagogy, who laid the foundations OF
the modern German empire, "the
schoolmistress of the world" While
the speaker did not say so. it could
be safely inferred that be believed the
German empire invincible in the pres
ent world conflict, because founded on
the sure and self sacrificing labors of
Pestalozzi
