To the Graduates
By RUTH SHINN
Executive Director
University of Nebraska YWCA
You have invested time and ef
fort in a course of study intended

and wrong, a joy in knowing and
serving God and your neighbors.
Further, I earnestly hope that
our city will take full advantage
of the ability and training you

Dr. Weymuller
Speaks to Grads
Dr. C. A. Weymuller Saturday

yourselves and of your profes
sion.”

lege’s commencement exercises in
Joslyn Art Museum.
Chancellor R. G. Gustavson con
ferred degrees, diplomas and cer
tificates upon 148 graduates:
Dr. Weymuller stated:
“You have been educated to be
critical by our University, and you
must never relinquish this atti
tude. Of all people, you who now
enter the health sciences as a ca
reer must be critical—but in a
constructive, progressive manner.
“You must be destructively crit
ical only when some real threat
to the integrity of the health
sciences appears."
