Quinn, Dean of Academic In- struction for Commonwealth Campuses. In his charge to the grad-- uates, Dr. Quinn stated that in “today’s world with trouble, confusion, doubt, and perhaps even a sense of fear pervading, in order to participate effective- ly each of us need two very im- portant qualities—wisdom and courage—both of which must be practiced and acquired through experience. You have been studying diligently to gain as much knowledge as pos- sible...you have been using your intelligence to gain an under- standing of the world around you but this acquisition of know- ledge is but the beginning of wisdom... Wisdom has been called the scar tissue of intelli- gence. It comes only after many intellectual scrapes and bruises... “As yosseek to solve perplex- ing iE a and apply your knowledge and understanding and judgement—that is, exer- cise your wisdom—it will be necessary on some occasions to tinued. “I am not speaking of your physical courage but of your own intellectual courage! It is highly probable that at some time in your lives you will be faced with a situation that requires a great amount of in- tellectual courage. I suggest to you that if you do not practice courage in little things, when the main event arrives you may be sadly lacking.” Following invocation by the Rev. John Topolewski, Trucks- ville United Methodist Church, John L. Conyngham, chairman of the A advisory board welcome®¥ the graduates and guests to the activities and in- vited them to the reception fol- lowing. ¥& - Edward A.
