Words of Wisdom for Class of '78 In 1878 word came from General Miles’ post at Fort Keogh that Sit ting Bull was at Frenchman’s Creek and that more than 1,000 Indians were seen within ten miles of Fort Peck . . . dispatches from Vienna said Russia had taken the fate of Roumania, Servia, and Montengro into her own hands . . . the whole district of Bourgos was devastated by Bashi and Circas sians, who slaughtered the inhabi tants and burned the villages . . . an assessment of $2 per share was levied on bullion . . . the steamer Cornet was sunk in the Duwamish river, near Seattle . . . 18,000 Chinamen were employed in San Francisco and annually produced articles worth $17,500,000 . . . Senator Pendleton’s platform was repeal of the resumption act and remonetization of silver wtih free coinage . . . the news from Eng land was more warlike . . . Russia continued to press forward and was near Gallipoli, the key to the Dardenelles . . .and on Friday af ternoon, June 21, 1878, the first graduating class at the University of Oregon assembled and planted a tree, an English laurel. And that evening Matthew P. Deady, president of the regents, presented the members of the graduating class with their diplo mas and then gave a commence ment address. “. . . neither learning nor abil ity will so surely or readily secure to you the good will and esteem of mankind as good manner . . . what learning and ability can excuse slovenly dress, unblackened shoes, dirty linen, or fingernails in deep and habitual mourning? . . . how often the power and usefulness of a person of marked ability or at tainments is diminished or de stroyed by some disgusting habit or filthy practice? “. . . labor, however irksome or unremunerative, is honorable com pared with idleness. Labor pro duces. Idleness only consumes. The existence and progress of the race depends upon labor, while idleness is a consuming moth forever fret ting away the garment and fabric of society . . . cleanliness and neat ness make labor attractive, while filth and slovenliness tend to the contrary and thereby debase it . . . those who labor will always be es teemed and treated according to their manners. “A certain social bluntness is a marked feature of American man ners . . . the cause of this is not far to seek ... a democracy being founded on political equality, many of the members of such a society are easily led to think this includes social equality as well. Although from the nature of things, social equality is impossible and probably not desirable, yet this disposition toward it begets a mannner which says: ‘I am as good as you.’ This sort of feeling and action tends to check and prevent the habit and growth of politeness. “. . . the essence of politeness is the preference of others to our selves in non-essentials, self-denial in little things. Without good man ners the scholar is a mere pedant, the wit degenerates into a buffoon, and courage appears as brutality . . . politeness to others is always a denial of self, and self-denial is the distinguishing mark between savagery and civilization. . . . “A class of youngmen and wom en are about to graduate from the University of the State; and you, my young friends, are the first fruits of this tree of learning . . . we trust you are the beginning of a long line and ever widening line of useful and distinguished men and women, who shall go forth year by year from this place to en gage in the duties of life, doing good service to the country and honor to their Alma Mater.
