Excerpt from Commencement Days: A Book for Graduates
Yes, I am sure that these young men and women are consciously confronting here to-day much the same question that we older ones faced ifr the Junes to which we are looking back. The costume of the festival is different; the realities of life are not radically altered. There are some of us who have more to remember than you, but you have more to hope for than we; and in this hour when yesterday and to-morrow have met together, when memory and hope have kissed each other, I would fain believe that all of us, old and young, are ready for a little serious thought upon the meaning of life.
