COMMENCEMENT is
INVESTMENT TIME

ness.
He who cannot USE that which he has ac-
quired from his text books has labored in vain
for his grades. We are measured by what we
can GIVE, not by what we can GET.
Education is wasted time and effort unless it
inspires US to test our strength rather than our
weakness, to dare the impossible rather than
complacently follow the line of least resistance.
The world has but little need of the man who
can do almost anything" But it has great
use for the man who can DO SOMETHING.
Education, once looked upon as a luxury, is
now regarded as a necessity. Once its influence
was c~ontemplatiye, now it is contributive.
In the dark ages people belonged to kings.
When the light of education spread, kings be-
longed to the people.
Education e~mancipates. 1t is the advance
guard of democracy. 1t demands that the rights
Of the many prevail above the rights of the few.
1t is altruistic, not individualistic.
If you are truly educated you are a friend of
the masses. That is educated patriotism.
Education is a movement outward, not in
ward.
No day on the school calendar is so well named
as Commencement. 1t is the beginning of work,
not the end it is the binding to duty, not the
release from it.

Once more our schools and colleges come to
commencement time. School is an outfit shop.
1t is where we get the tools with which to do our
part of the world S work.
Graduation day is not a time to recall achieve
ments but to plan them. 1t is not a day for re-
Election, but of prediction, a time for looking
forward, not backward.
Education is the search for truth. Truth is
progress.
The bud is a manifestation of the truth of
nature. Because it is true to the laws of nature
it does not remain a bud but unfolds into the
flower The seed laid in the clod finds it's way to
the light.
Light is truth. Be a light seeker. Truth is
ever ahead, never behind. Keep pursuing it.
You cannot rye truth and repose.
We seek education that we may Know how to
progress, to serve; that in this world we may
be live seed and not dead seed.
1t is not what you know that gives you recog-
milton in the world, but what you Know how
to do.
Commencement is not accounting time-it is
investment time.
The intellectual miser is of no more use in the
world than the money miser. The world never
honors an idle intellect. There is but one nobil-
ity thot lasts and that is the nobility of useful

Every morning when we wake up
now, the sun is shining, and birds
+ chirping a welcome to the new.
born day. Why not fall in line
arise and shine-smile and perk up
at the call of this delightful Spring.
If we want to grunt and moan Of
course we can do it. but the sun VIII
shine just the same for those who
have enough sense to enjoy it. Old
Dame Nature has fixed things up so
that there's no chance for the fel.
low who keeps ont of step putting
the whole procession on the blink.
You might just as well bow 20 that
old dame and march along. When
a woman will she will, you nay de-
pend ont. and when she won't she
won't, and there's an end on't.
