Final Exercises
At College Park
BY JAMES ROWLAND

University of Maryland grad
yates were called on today to
support and strengthen colleges.
thus enabling them to produce
the specialists demanded in all
walks of life.
DR.. John w. Gardner. preSi-
dent of the Carnegie Foundation,
urged some Alto seniors to help
the nations colleges foster wis
dom and excellence.
The commencement speaker
received doctor of laws degree
in exercises that saw one of the
schools largest graduating
classes receive diplomas in the
Student Activities Building on
the College Park campus. DR..
Wilson H. Elkins, university
president, awarded diplomas.
Role of Leadership
An estimated 1850 friends
and relatives of the class of Sc
heard DR.. Gardner underline the
need of properly trained special
lists. by stating:
These individuals of high
ability and advanced training are
not only going to perform all of
the highly specialized and highly
technical roles in the society,
they are going to manage So
ciety s. They are going to have
the guiding role in shaping our
future.
I'VE cannot halt specialization
but can domeSticate it we
have no choice in the matter if
we are to preserve the sort of
society which we will wish to
live in"
Colleges, therefore, are left
with the job of producing mot
only specialists but men with the
wisdom and breadth and a sense
of values to play their destined
role of leadership" the speaker
added.
Aware of the continued march
of dangers inherent in specializa-
ton, DR.. Gardner declared the
movement can be managed
through literally educated men.
He deplored the inadequate
salaries paid teachers. who are
expected to carry out Herculean
tasks given to colleges by the
public.
For the first time in our his
tory virtually the total leadership
of our society will have
been channeled through a single
set of American Institutions
the colleges and universities.
Commenting on the increased
demand for persons of high abil-
ity. DR.. Gardner noted that edu-
cation through the proverbial
School of Hard Knocks" is
not paying off as it was once
thought to.
Gov. McKeldin Speaks
Gov. McKeldin of Maryland
urged the class of Sc to help
strengthen the Nations ties with
foreign countries when their
work brings them into contact
with college graduates of other
lands.
The great bridges of steel you
will build with commendable
care will not be nearly so i'm
portant as the bridges of friend
ship with which you will help
to unite us with our neighbors
across the oceans the Gov
ernor said.

containment and deplored per-
