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

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,

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 ,

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.

turned back to the mainland.
It flew to Antelope Dry Lake,
Nev., where it was landed.
A spokesman said this was
a "new phase in the evalua

missile is capable of carrying
nuclear warheads.
The entire flight was about
