few years ago if you had come to lehigh you would have been welcomed with all the fanfare of collegiana orientation week rushing class organization all these would have initiated you into college life but now you will become a part of the university in a difficult time services still call many of you will spend but a short time here others of you may be fortunate enough to complete your higher education but how ever long your stay here your task will be to grow in stature of mind and high purpose you should always remember that you are a mem ber of a very select minority according to president hutchins of the university of chicago only four percent of the educated population reaches college levels and of this four percent only one and one-half percent finishes its college education a task for you therefore a great responsibility rests on your shoulders with so many young men in the arrmed services being deprived of their op portunities of higher education the need for learning in all fields of study becomes self-evident this does not mean that you are an educated man necessarily if you can cram a technical education into a few accelerated semesters the discouraging doctrine of utilitarian education has been outlawed by its failure to create a better world play the field wide of course you come to college to learn how to make your place in the world to get a position later in life to enable you to follow a pro fession but if you fail in broadening your horizons to understand the humanities if you fail to meet the challenge of the degrading of human welfare if you fail to learn how to live with your fellow men all your education goes for naugh the scientist and the educator of tomorrow must build a world not given to destruction all the fine fruits of learning must be applied to constructing a more reasonable world to live in frorm books and teachers you will gain a variety of perspectives from your fellows in your daily college life you will gain a practical education but only from yourself will you gain the initiative to reason to select and to challenge the purpose of your own education cyanide honorary taps six juniors friday
