Rockefeller Speaks to 629 Graduates
Nelson A. Rockefeller stressed the importance of a general education before 629
graduates of 1 the University last Monday.
The graduation ceremonies were the first in several years at which graduates were
personally presented their diplomas by the dean of their college, or dean of the Grad
uate School. The deans were assisted by faculty and student marshalls.
President Milton S. Eisenhower conferred the degrees on undergraduate and grad-
uate students.
Rockefeller, chairman of the Ad
visory Committee on Federal Gov-;
eminent Organization and, until
recently, special assistant to the
President, stated that “Ours is a
world in need—in need of ideas,
in need of action, and in need of
great leaders in all fields of hu
man endeavor—in need of gener
alists as well as specialists.”
However, Rockefeller said he
was not emphasizing the general
ist's role at the expense of that of
the specialist.

ence, the growth in size and com
plexity of government and bus
iness, and the need to meet the

never was a time when the vi

fact of the shortage of men and
women in these highly specialized
fields has been increasingly ap
parent.”
He pointed out that as the spe
cialized phases of society become
increasingly complex, “the impor
tance of their intelligent integra
tion and their wise use and direc
tion become more apparent and
difficult.”
Rockefeller then said that Presi-

hower both personify the role of
the generalist in their lives and
actions.
The two have demonstrated the
kind of leadership the United
States and the world “so desper
ately need today,” he said. He
called it “ a leadership based on
ability to understand and synthe
size the great technical, social,
economic, and political develop
ments of the day—the ability to
orchestrate the creative forces of
our times in furtherance of the
hopes and aspirations of all man
kind.”
