More than 900 graduates of Louisiana State university were told Saturday that by virtue of their education they will become an important element in their society.
Speaking to the graduates was Lester J. Evans, M. D., director of the New York University Center for Rehabilitation Services, who cited the university as uthe principal institution in our society which by action has obligated itself to anticipate the future."
The university anticipates the future, he said, because it is the storehouse of knowledge of the route through which man lias traveled to become what he is; the university is, or can be, the seat of free and uninhibited 'undamental research on natural phenomena, and the uni~ /ersity is engaged in educating foung people who can only look ihead.
"It is the individual whose growth was enhanced and propelled onward by his university experience and who has achieved an inner sense of calmness and wisdom who must carry his share in making the university an ever stronger institution in our society," Dr. Evans said.
H. Leo Eddleman, president Df New Orleans Baptist Theo-| logical seminary, told the graduates any man is challenged to do something with his life.
Every individual, he said, must grow to a majestic personality, find one's distinctive contribution to the common weal, and seek dilligently for the answers to questions about life itself.
'"Man is asking the old questions about life with a new seriousness," he said.
"Death and its implications for life are inescapable," he said. "The most certain thing about life is the gradual dissolution and ultimate disintegration of human personality from the scene of history."
