Students Hear Lindley at Convocation Service
Distinction a Necessary Addition to Degree, Speaker Says

Chancellor Lindley gave as the new motive for higher education the discovery by men of business and industry that education is indispensable to progress.
"What we need is a coherent view of life. The stress of hard times makes people think. I have faith that the universities may preserve the eternal value of yesterday in a new standard which will give us the abundant life," he said.
Dean Raymond A. Schwegler extended to the Summer Session students a cordial welcome and invited them to come to his office to discuss with the administration suggestions for bettering working conditions in the university. "Remember that we are here to serve you," he said.
