President Takes Text from Book
of Psalms for First Sermon
to Graduating Class..
URGES LOYALTY IDEAL
Asks Tolerance Toward Future
Changes in Affairs
of University.
. Speaking on the subject of "The
Good Alumnus," President Alex-
ander G. Ruthven gave the first
Baccalaureate sermon of his ad-1
ministration before the members
of the graduating classes yesterday
morning in Hill auditorium.
President Ruthven took as his
text part of the eighth verse of the
.thirty-first Psalm: "Thou hast set
my feet in a large room."
"The feeling of freedom given by
a widened vision of life and en-
larged opportunities for service
conveyed in this expression," Presi-
dent Ruthven said, "was a favorite
theme of the singer of Israel. We
may consider the expression as an
indication of the soul's confidence
that attunement with the infinite
gives not only responsibilities but
also rich rewards."
Must Accept Progress.
President Ruthven went on toI
outline the duties of the alumnus
from the point-of-view of the uni-
versity, after he has gone out into
the "large room" of his future life.
"As your Alma Mater sets your
feet in a large place and you leave
her walls to enter upon the duties
of your life," he said, "you will ever
look back to her and tend to visual-
ize student life as you knew it. You
will probably overlook the fact
that like you your college must
continue to exist in a changing en-
vironment. It too must exhibit var-
iations if it is not to suffer the
consequences of an unplastic her-
editary product in a mutating
world. As you observe the inevit-
able changes you should not com-
plain and pine for a return of the
good old days, but open-mindedly
and with pride view them as signs
of growth and progression.
Facts Should be Sought.
"Because the University as you
know it will not exist a year aft-
er you leave it and because inter-
est to be valuable must be intelli-
gent," he continued, "you will as
an alumnus have the obligation of
studying your college and of with-
holding judgment until you have
the facts. The human tendency to
form conclusions upon insufficient
evidence frequently affects the re-
lations of the sincere alumnus to
his University. We have tried to
teach you to act upon accurate in-

Discusses Liberal Education.
In addressing the graduating
students, Dr. Massey appreciated
the differences of their training
and spoke of a common legacy
"which the university is able to give
all those within its walls," both the
student of a liberal education and
the student in a professional
school. This legacy he called "the
spirit of the amateur," a trait de-
veloped in the student which leads
him to pursue an activity, what-
ever it may be, in a spirit of love
or enjoyment.
While the world is assuming a
more serious outlook in both work
and play, Dr. Massey said, a man's
accomplishment is no longer "mea-
sured by the hours he sits behind
plate glass" but an increasing re-
spect is being shown for education.
In this respect, the end should not
be confused with the means, Dr.
Massey warned. "If the very ma-
chinery of learning obscures our
