COLLEGE PARK, Md. June S.
Urging his listeners Ito give a con-
siderable amount of their time, talents
and energy to the problems of the
community, the State and the Nation"
United States Senator Millard Tydings
spoke to 756 graduating University of
Maryland students at commencement
exercises here today
Packed with alumni, students, their
families and friends, Ritchie Coliseum
was the colorful scene of the cere-
monies attended by black -goWned
seniors of the local colleges and the
Baltimore professional schools,
University President H. c. Byrd
outlined the institutions building pro-
gram and introduced resolutions by
the board of regents honoring the
memory of the late Randolph Wins
low, for 64 years professor of physics
in the School of Medicine, and the
late Dean Thomas H Spence, who was
connected with the university for As
years.
A graduate of the Institution, Sena-
tor Tydings pointed out that there
10 great restlessness now in all lands"
He said:
Millions 0 men are on the march,
War hangs in the offing in many
countries. The danger is that in this
restleSsness, this time of change, we
may act without a thorough compre
hension of what such action means,
not only to the present, but to the
future as WELL
Truth Is Only Guide.
TN this connection. I would like
to burn in letters of fire rule which
! believe is useful IN settling the
problems of the moment That rule
is this: Accept only the truth for the
authority, Do not accept the authority
for the truth. A thing is not so just
because some one says it is. II is only
so If it will stand the acid test of
truth"
