President Eisenhower Also
Received Degree at Grad
uatiOn Ceremonies
ADDRESS BY DIR. GIBSON

Fifty-seven seniors received de-
grees from Washington College on
Monday, June z, at the Eastern
Shore institutions 172nd Com
mencement Exercises. President
Dwight d. Eisenhower also receiv-
ed a degree at the graduation
ceremonies for the Class of 1854.
He was awarded the honorary de-
gree of Doctor of Laws. The Presi-
dent, speaking extemporaneously,
told the graduating class that one
of the problems of educated youth
today is to determine what is the
proper relationship between him
self and government and to allow
government to go no further than
is absolutely necessary. In closing
he summed up for the graduates:
"Be not afraid to live by those
things in which you believe" He
said that they should always live
up to their own conscience, always
having courage to do what they
believe to be right. The successful
American, he said, is one who does
that. DR.. Daniel 2. Gibson, presi-
dent of the College, delivering the
principal address of the day, called
attention to "the small still voice.
of the little things in life. He said
that, caught up as people are in
the hurly-burly life of today, 1--WE
forget that the simple things OF
life are for us as individuals the
important things" These things, =
DR.. Gibson said," these small still
things, are now, ever have been
and ever will be the bedrock of
life"
