Rochester, of the University school of law, at their annual commencement exercises Thursday night at McArthur court. "The failure to think straight has brought the world to its pres ent state where not a single power is able at this moment to stop the march of the barbarians where want exists in the midst of plenty and when democracy is receiv ing its greatest challenge." This straight thinking must be based on two fundamental points, the speaker declared: (1) the realization that no in dividual, no group can live unto itself alone in the future, and (2) The old idea of patriotism "my country may she always be right but my country right or wrong" must be changed to a de fense of the right wherever it is found. "You are one of a team," the graduates were told, "don't try to play the game by yourself."
