DIR. Wise delivering the address to
the graduates sounded a warning when
in discussing the revolt of youth. he
pointed out the difference between the

overthrow Of tradition and that spiritual
uprising which contains elements OF
protest and prophecy while based on
program Of progresSiveness. DR.. Wise
urged the graduates TO remember that
movement" and progress are not In
terchangeable terms and that If a re-
volt is to be worthy, 1t must be direct
ed against things which ought not to be.
DIR. Pierce Gives Invocation.
Blessed is the revolt against the un-
tasking and undemanding shrine, DR..
Wise said, but alas for the revolt
against a shrine because it does ci1al-
lenge. because IL does command, because
it does exact"
Il am not fearful of the so-called ir-
religion" the speaker continued. "Ir-
religion is like form of the souls quest
for the spirit of religion which churches
too often entonlb But my soul laments
over that frreligicn which takes the form
OF a shrinelessnegs, one Of the most
tragic forms OF that attitude toward
life which denies the reality OF the
concepts of law and obligation and
holiness"
The invocation was pronounced by
Rev Jason Noble Pierce pastor Of the
First Congregational Church. while the
b1nediction was intoned by Rev. William
