Speaker Urges Research in Social
Sciences as 754 Seniors Graduate
Approximately 6,000 people were
in the university coliseum Monday
as degrees were conferred upon
754 university graduates and four
nationally known citizens of tne
United Sttaes, at tne sixty-uura
annual commencement exercises.
Owen D. Young, famed Ameri
can lawyer and financier, who ad
dressed the graduating class pre
dicted that 'we are emerging from
a great depression." Using as his
subject, "The Obsolesconce in the
Social Sciences," he told the out
going group, "The world is yours.
My generation has had its fling."
Especially honored at the cere
monies were Bess Streeter Aldrich
of Elmwood, who received the hon
orary degree of doctor of letters;
Owen D. Young, the speaker, doc
tor of laws; E. Parmalee Prentice,
lawyer from Williamstown, Mass.,
doctor of agriculture; and Walter
Bowers Pillsbury, scholar and au
thor from Ann Arbor, Mich., doc
tor of laws.
Seventeen persons were gradu
ated with distinction, while forty
seven received masters degrees,
and nine people were awarded doc
tor of philosophy degrees.
The commencement procession
led by the R. O. T. C. band formed
at 12th and R and marched in
columns of fours to the coliseum
at 10 o'clock. All of the graduates,
the faculty, the deans of the vari
ous colleges, the regents, state of
ficials including Governor Bryan
marched in ' the parade. Chancel
lor Burnett and Mr. Young were
the last to enter the coliseum.
In explanation of the title of his
speech Mr. Young declared that
the social sciences had not kept
pace with the physical sciences.
Business, he said, had gone for
ward while the social sciences had
stood still.
Mr. Young pointed out that re
search had gone on daily in both,
but that only the physical and
business advances were accepted.
He then asked why it was not
logical to create a "brain trust"
for research. "That is what the
nhvsicAl sciences have been doing
for a generation," he asserted.
"Just as the young men ana
women of my time were lured into
the field of invention and discov
ery in the physical sciences, so
you will have to face the problems
of that much more difficult sci
ence of human relations. It has
ever been the mistake of ardent
reformers to go too far and too
fast." The speaker urged the
graduates not to make that mis
take.
"Civilization bv evolution pro
gresses slowly," he declared. "By
revolution it destroys more than it
creates. Each generation should
make its contribution. That takes
wisdom, patience, and restraint.
These Qualities are not inconsist
ent witn action."
In conclusion he told the mem
bers of the graduating class,
"Her in Nebraska, in this land of
wide horizons, in this air friendly
ever to new ideas, has survived the
SDirit of the men and women who
knew her first. To them the old
was not too sacred to be changed,
the new not too allurine to be
recklessly adopted. To you, young
ladies and gentlemen, I come with
confidence and witn nope. My gen
eration has had its victories and
its failures. Today you inherit
them. Our victories are vour
tools; capital for you to invest in a
better world. Our failures are your
ODDor tuni ues. inem vou must
make your successes."
