Joyce Brothers Addresses Class of '94
By WILLIAM JOHNSON, Writers' Group
Citing lessons from colleagues,
actors, Babe Ruth and Thomas Edison,
Dr., Joyce Brothers exhorted Lehigh's
graduating class not to let fear of
failure keep them from trying.
Addressing 1,150 graduates at
Lehigh's 126th Commencement,
Brothers said Edison was asked by a
friend whether he was discouraged by
the fact that he tried 50,000 different
ways to make a storage battery.
"The friend said, 'Too bad all your
pains have produced no results.'
Edison's response: 'No results? Why
man, I have a lot of results. I know
several thousand things that won't
work.'
"Actor Danny Glover, when asked
about the most important thing he
learned in his life, replied, 'Success is
going from failure to failure without
losing enthusiasm.'
"And Babe Ruth led major league
baseball in home runs during his
career, but he also led the league in
strikeouts," she said.
Before a crowd of 7,000 at Lehigh's
Stabler Arena, the renowned
psychologist spoke about how studies
show boys and men often are motivated
to leam by competition, while girls and
women are driven by the inner
satisfaction that comes from
competence. Neither motivation is
better, she said, and noted how both
are used increasingly by both sexes.
Brothers applauded the officers of
Lehigh's Class of 1994— all women.
Lori Owen of Danbury, Conn.,
senior class president, told the story of
how she sat down on a park bench to
write her graduation speech, and an
elderly man sat down
next to her. He told her
there were only three
things graduates must
do: "Look up, look out     	
and look in." Looking
up, he said enables you to have a
positive attitude that helps you
through difficult times, looking out
makes you aware of how what you do
affects others and how you can make a
difference in your community, and
looking in helps you know who you are
and what's important to you.
Diplomas were presented in
separate ceremonies by deans of each
of Lehigh's four colleges. In all, 917
bachelor's, 191 master's and 42
doctoral degrees were awarded to
students from 30 states, Puerto Rico
and 23 foreign countries.
Baccalaureate speaker was
Dr. Joyce Brothers
Phyllis Trible, Baldwin Professor
of Sacred Literature, Union
Theological Seminary, New York City.
Receiving honorary degrees were
Brothers (Humane Letters); Trible
(Divinity); George M.C. Fisher,
chairman, president and chief
executive officer of Eastman Kodak Co.
(Engineering); American composer
Earl Kim, who is the James Edward
Ditson Music Professor Emeritus at
Harvard (Music); and Ardath Harter
Rodale, chairman ofthe board and
chief executive officer of Rodale Press,
Inc., Emmaus, Pa. (Humane Letters).
