Council President Don Burt
Addresses New Students
Friday, September 14, 1962
By KAREN GUNLICKS
"The future is in your own
hands or more precisely, in
your own heads," advised
Don Burt, president of Stu
men at the All-New Student
Convocation Wednesday.
According to several stu
dents, Burt made an impres
sive comparison of college
life to the fairy tale about
the hermit, the bird and the
king.
The story relates how a
jealous king asks a wise her
mit if the bird in his royal
hand is dead or alive. The
king planned to crush the
bird in his hand if the hermit
answered "alive," and let the
bird fly away if he answered
"dead". But the wise old her
mit replied, "As thou wilt my
son, as thou wilt."
Burt explained that with
enrollment m the University,
the students have announced
to the world that they intend
to pursue a course of formal
education by which their per
formance for the next four
years will determine which
doors will be opened to them
and which will remain tight
ly locked.
"Success in College . . .
"Success, in college or in
anything, is elusive at best,
fld can only be approached
through hard work and deter
mination," he continued. "No
one can be successful for
you the decision and the
responsibility are yours."
1 Burt challenged the new
students to "improve their
minds through hard work
and study, to improve their
personalities through contact
with, and interest In, other
people."
Dr. Adam Breckenridge,
Vice Chancellor of the Uni
versity, challenged the fresh
men to make the world a bet
ter place in which to live.
He said "if we are optimis
tic we can hope that in an
other 10, or 20 or 30 years
there will be a little less bom
bast, bigotry and ill temper

in, the world because you
young men and women will
be looking at new problems
which you will help to solve."
Dr. Breckenridge told them
that he suspected many in
the audience view their life
and academic future with
some apprehension and
charged that it was neither
reasonable to ignore national
or world incidents nor pre
sume immediate doom.
Affirming his faith in the
students, Dr. Breckenridge
said it is not necessarily
wrong to show lack of eager
ness in bestowing immediate
trust in people or principles.
"Distrust is Healthy . . ."
"If they distrust, if they
concern themselves with
proof, I think it is a very
healthy attitude, rattier than
an unhealthy one," he said
"So should we be discour
aged, or alarmed or -dis
mayed, if you find new ways
to solve problems, when we
who are more senior have
not been successful at it?"
Dr. Breckenridge warned
the students to work very
hard at their studies, to learn
tolerance, to shuck prej
udices, to explore, and "not
fritter endowed person
al qualities on the trivial -and
unimportant.
"Your goals are the goals
