PASSED by the luncil and signed by me in open session in authentication of its passage this -. 3th day of June. 1958. ' Stanley C. Jones Jr. Acting Mayor . ATTEST: D. F. Huson Recorder '. APPROVED by me thisoth day of June, 1958. John W. Snider Mayor will permit. If now I dare to ddress you, it is not as one vhitt with wisdom, or prac ticed in the ways of the world, but ms fellow student handi capped with senility, yet as eager as ever to learn some thing beween every rising and setting of the sun. You must season my platitudes with a grain of doubt, and grant me the tolerant allowances that youth must tlways make for My first request to you is be healthy. It is mostly within your will. In many cases sickness is a crime; you have done something physio logically foolish, and nature is being hard put to it to re pair your mistake. The pain i the tuition you pay for your instruction in living; Care of thw health should be a re quired course, for at least an hour each week, in every year from kindergarten to Ph.D. Such a course would include instruction in diet. Our bodies are what we eat, plus what our ancestors ate. Don't let restaurants tempt you: they are the vampires of the stomach; they will bur den your flesh in proportion as they lighten your purse. One of the cardinal errors of our time and land is to con tinue in a warm and seden tary life the diet that once served to provide necessary muscle and heat. Let us keep our inners clean. The hospit als are littered with people who have put too great strain on their digestive organs and hav allowed an excess of imports over exports to dis turb their internal economy. Do some physical work every day. Nature intended thought to be a guide to ac tion, not substitute for it. Thought unbalanced by, ac tion i a disease. Cut the lawn, clegn the car, paint the house rfther than the town, help fith the dishes after the eve ning meal. Help your wife tith her work, and let her help you with yours. Hus band and wife should be help mates. Marriage disintegrates vhn it is only a partnership in Sex, play, nd conspicuous xpeiiae. Vfter hunger, is our strong est instinct and greatest prob lem, nature is infatuated with continuance, and dolls up the oman with beauty and the man adth money to lure them into propagation; and so it Jve to u males such sensi tivity to tne cnarms oi worn- tl that W( can go quite mad in - their pursuit. Sex . then btcomes a fire and flame in thf blood, and burns up the whoia personality which giouli be a hierarchy and harmony of desires. Our civilization has unwise ly stimulated this sexual im- puli. Our encestors played it down, knowing that it was Strong enough without prod- Sinav w e nave Diown 11 up with t thousand forms of in citation, advertisement, em phasis, and display, and have armed it witn tnt aocinne that inhibition is a mistake 7 -hereaa inhibition the con tftl of tha impulse is the JSrt principle of civilization. Don't let indoctrination de termine your desires. )f ariiaje VS probably developed not only for the better care of children and property, but to fava us from the tyranny of sex. In marriage that in stinct is given abundant free dom, but it i channeled with in limits consistent with so- cial order. By submitting to marriage we. can take our minds off sex, and become adult.0. Marry as soon as you can keep the wolf from the door, You will ba too young to choose wisely, but you won't be much wiser in these mat ters at 40. There's no fool like an old fool in love. We parents should help you to et started in wholasome mar ried me: Help you witn mon ey, ajnd if you will permit us with counsel. Don t let your choice of a mate be de termined by the accident of association at a time of physi ological needs; don't buy a grab bag .in a coma. Let at least three months intervene between acquaintance and be trothal, aid between betroth al, and marriage. The difficulties of .marri age are far less than its re wards. One touch of a wom an's hand can be a paradise, vr Daily's U-Drive Medford Airport' if the touch is not for too much. Napoleon said that the only happiness he had ever known was in loving his chil dren; and I hope you won't have children without marriage.- Character Comes on a par with health; intellect may come third. The greatest task assumed by such schools as this is to transform egos into gentlemen. A gen tleman, as my wife once de fined it, is a person continu ally considerate. Kind words cost so little and are worth so much! Speak no evil of anyone; every unkind word will sooner or later fly back into your face, and make you stumble in the race of life. De vivis, rather than de mor tuis, nil nisi bonum. To speak ill of others is a dishonest way of praising ourselves; let us be above such transparent egotism. If you can't say good and encouraging things, say nothing. Nothing is often a good thing to do, and always a clever thing to say. Religion Has been along with the family and the teacher, a tu tor of character. For 50,000 years or more man lived as a hunter before he took to till ing the soil. Probably man's native character as it is today was formed in that hunting life.-He had to be greedy be cause ,the food supply was precarious and irregular; he had to be pugnacious to fight for food and mates; he had to be easily stimulated to re productive ecstasy, because a high birth rate seemed desira ble. What are now, through excess, our major vices, were then virtues qualities mak ing, for survival of the indi: vidual or the group. When agriculture developed, and social organization became the chief tool of survival, these powerful impulses had to be restrained. They were restrained by a moral code transmitted through parental authority, family discipline, and religious instruction. That moral code, though against the grain of the flesh, was accepted partly through fear of parents, and very much through belief that the code'eame from an all-seeing God .who would reward every virtue and punish every vice. I am not sure that civilization could have come without such religious sanctions of the moral code. Those of you who special ize in science will find it hard to understand religion, unless you feel, as Newton and Vol taire did, that the harmony of the spheres reveals a cosmic mind, and unless you realize, as Pascal and Rousseau did, that man does not live by in tellect alone. We are such mi croscopic particles in so vast a universe that none of us is in a . position to understand the world, much less to dog matize about it. Pascal trem bled at the thought of man's bewildered minuteness" be tween the two infinites the immensity of the whole and the complexity of each part; "These infinite spaces," he said, "frighten me!" Let us be careful how we pit out pitiful generalizations against the in finite scope, variety and sub tlety of the .world. Money Build an economic basis un der yourlife, but don't get caught in the rat-trap of money-making as a prof es sion; -;that, too, like sex, can be a consuming fever, and brings only fitful pleasures, no healthy happiness. Your wife will have the responsi bility of stimulating you to develop all your creative ca pacities, but I hope she will not insist on your keeping up with, all the Joneses in the town! If you becoml an em ployer, your relation with your employees will count for more, in your haprpiness than adding a zero to your wealth. Give .every employee the full equivalent of his share in the product. Don't live in a boast ful and selfish luxury based on taking .more from the world than you give. Politics Don't take them too seri ously. Expect to reform the government only after you , HATS OFF Just-graduated Navy ensigns throw their hats into the air in traditional gesture after commencement exercises at the U. S. Naval Academy at Annapolis. Th speakers platform (center rear) is hidden by the hats. have reformed human nature and your own. Corruption is natural in government be cause it - is nature in man. Don't be frightened by the in ternational situation; it is nor mal; man is a competitive animal, individually and in groups; peace is war by other means. I believe that intelli gent fear will keep us from international suicide. Evils usually beget their cure through their excess; so now the balance of terror is mak ing for peace. How good it is that the mil itary, competition is changing to economic competition! Let the better system win, or a combination. We are witness ing in America an Hegelian synthesis of capitalism and socialism, taking the virtues of each; and this merger, 1 believe, will be more produc tive of goods and happiness than the fearful Communism of Russia or the selfish capi talism of the not very Gay Nineties. See, even in depres sion time, the relative happi ness and exuberance of the American people, killing one another ecstatically in the precipitate pleasure of their holidays. Intellect I take this for granted in your case; indeed, our schools have put too much stress on intellect, too little on charac ter; we have sharpened our wits even while weakening our restraints. In my youth, I used to talk about the bond age of tradition; now, as be fits old age, I distrust the fet ishism of novelty. We exag gerate the value of newness in ideas and things. It is so much easier to be original and foolish than to be orig inal and wise. For every truth there are a thousand possible errors; let us not try to ex haust the. possibilities. Most of you now will go to college, -and the sharpened competition among individu als and nations will force you into intellectual specialties. The stress on science today is so strong that college, if I may pun a bit, will give you only a passing acquaintance with literature, history, phi losophy, music and art. But don't let yourselves be frag mented. When your formal education is complete, give at least two hours a week to rounding yourselves ou with these flowers of civilization. .
