Dr. Putnam, prefacing his re marks by making a statement he seemed to enjoy more and more these commencements which he has attenteded in the past 12 or mon years. He complimented the area on its interest in these young people, that night being honored, for an accomplishment. 1 In his talk to the graduates, he took the five points brought out by Carol Kay DeMartin, to urge adherence in life.
