COMMENCEMENT GREETINGS

Commencement, with its touches of pageantry and medieval cos­tumes, looks backward to an academic tradition centuries old and also forward to the years of accomplishment and satisfaction today's gradu­ates will enjoy. It is one of the rare times when all elements of the Uni­versity-the students, the faculty, the administration, and the trustees­march together and sit together to symbolize their unity in the academic enterprise.

The ceremony and the other features of Commencement weekend are the University's way of saying thank you to parents for the sacrifices they have made and to the graduates for the long hours of work they have expended. We congratulate them and offer our best wishes for the years ahead.

David T. Kearns Chairman, Board of Trustees

You are all familiar with the most fundamental proposition of economics, that there is no better way to lose weight than to eat a free lunch. Rather than elaborate on its implications, which are- and I speak most seriously- both numerous and profound- ] shall make a few comments on the theory of self-interest on which it is founded.

We economists believe that the fulfillment of self-interest is one of the most powerful and pervasive of human motives. Self-interest should not be construed too narrowly: thus it is in Chancellor Wallis' self-interest to raise large sums for Rochester and it is in the self-interest of the faculty of this university to hire the best scholars who are available. The skill of society in harnessing self-interest to social objectives is, indeed, the central problem of social life.

And yet, much social activity is based upon the assumption that people do not know their self-interest. Most of your life you have been surrounded by people who know what is good for you . Your parents have guided your eating, your schooling, and where possible, your mating behavior, of course in your own interest. The schools have relieved you of much of the burden of choosing what lo study. The stale has sheltered you from innumerable temptations, including fire crackers, machine guns, and unlicensed wrestlers.

This solicitude for your welfare, as you will already have suspected, will continue lo occupy a large number of people the remainder of your life. Your mayor will seek to exile un­scrupulous automobile repairmen, your governor will seek to thwart those who attempt to sell you an encyclopedia, unless you live in Arizona your senator will seek to repel, for your sake, the Arizona land salesmen, and your President will be vigilant in guarding your environment. They will be assisted by your minister, the Sierra Club, Alcoholics Anonymous, the Boy Scouts of America, the University of Rochester Alumni Office, and your husband or wife.

The doctrine of the dominance of self-interest has two implications with respect to these unselfish volunteers. The first implication is that it is a/ least possible that they are advising you in their self-interest: that their own well-being depends upon their ability to direct you. And the second implication is thai however benevolent. learned, honorable, diligent, and com­passionate this swarm of saviors, no one else understands your self-interest even a tiny fraction as well as you do.

Whatever the interest that the University of Rochester has served in conferring this degree upon me, I am honored and delighted lo receive it.

- From remarks of George J. Stigler on receiving the degree Doctor of Science at the University of Rochester May 12, 1974.

My peroration will be much simpler. I ask you merely to confront this question: "What is the purpose of life?"

Many of you no doubt would answer "to be happy." I, for one, find nothing more de­meaning than the frantic pursuit of fun. Where was it promised us that life can ever be easy, or free of conflict and frustration, unutterable loneliness and unbearable pain? Those who yearn for the haven of idiot bliss can find it quite easily: in tranquilizers or narcotics or senility.

To me, the purpose of life is not to be happy; it is to matter-to be productive, to be responsible; to be honorable, to be compassionate; to be dedicated to goals higher than the in­fantile self; to have it make some difference that you lived at all.

For life, so precious, so variable, so honeycombed with richness and delight, contains nothing more rewarding than the process by which-to tke fullest measures of which we are capable-we try to stretch the mind and the heart.

-From the remarks of Leo Rosten on receiving the degree Doctor of Humane Letters at the University of Rochester June 3, 1973.

Following the Andrew Stone form of my address, I am going to close with the words of a wise man. I have chosen Frederico Fellini. The first lime I met Fellini we found ourselves talk­ing about all the tragedies of the world-about Viet Nam, about the Bomb, about film critics, and we depressed each other mildly more and more, and there was a little pause while we were both thinking and then he said without changing gears in any way, he said, "You know," he said, ''we are living in a wonderful time" and we are.

For each of you has a responsibility to the society; and the lime scale of the society is generally a long one, not a short one. To exercise this_ responsibility-even when it may be in conflict with your responsibility to your parents, teachers, and employers-will require courage as well as ingenuity: for sometimes you will find it necessary to sacrifice yourself because your interest for the longer view is not acceptable to those who employ you. But, on the whole, I think you should lake this risk and inject these longer perspectives into your careers. Your technological fixes and social fixes will thereby become more humane; per­haps more important, each of your lives will be more richly ~uman.

We hear about pre-med courses and pre-law courses and other pre-this and pre-that courses in college, but I think that all college education is a pre-education course. What college does or should do, is give you a basis for educating yourself. Graduation from college, if you don't mind my saying so, is really nothing but the end of your kindergarten days.

And the great thing is, you know, that you never really get that degree. I've been trying a long lime, but I have yet to see Persepolis, and· Angkor Wat, and other parts of my inheritance without which my education will be incomplete.

Let me say it again: you never really gel that degree. But a nominal degree certified by a University is a great pleasure, and I would like to say that with the permission of my fellow students in the audience, when I am next asked what my college class- was, I am no/ going to say "University of Teras, 1929," or "Yale, 1933," which have been my answers so far, but "Rochester '74."

Let me add another remark, directed at the graduating class. When I graduated in 19 3 1 in Europe, the situation was very bad. In addition to the great world-wide depression, there was the threat of Nazis hanging over our part of Europe. jobs were not available, even' less if you belonged to a minority threatened by the new regime. The world seemed to fall apart. How did we survive the mental and physical pressures surrounding us? These frying limes are slightly reminiscent of today, although they were very much worse. But today also there is that feeling of disillusionment, of living in a society without higher aims and purposes, of facing grave threats to the fabric of society and to human decency. When I think back to those days when there was far more immediate evidence of evil and destruction, I remember two elements, two strong pillars, that kept me and my friends mentally sane: One was science-if may seem improbable to those of you who are not scientists and who had to take required science courses­yes, it was science with its grand and clear views and insights into an ever-expanding universe. The other was hope. The hope that we, the younger generation, would be able to build a better world. The first, Science, gave me and my colleagues a mental refuge, a beautiful example of what wonderful deeds mankind can accomplish; the second, the hope for the younger generation, was only partially fulfilled. We were not much better than our parents. Much of what was tried to improve the lot of mankind in my generation turned out wrong and mistaken. Today people have become cynical and many believe that not much can be done about it. II is plainly ridiculous how we have messed up our social, human and international environment. II must be possible to do beller than we did in the past. Consider what man was able to achieve in Science, Art and Thought; consider the immensity and depth of what this world of ours could offer to those who live in if. It is up to you: don't give up, anyway, Try, Try!

Some things are changing. We now have a federal law requiring that there be equal pay for equal work in organizations doing business with the federal government, and that higher level positions be opened to women. Universities throughout the land are responding to the requirement to provide equal opportunities for women as well as for members of minority races. And the recent report of the Assembly on University Goals and Govern­ance of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, includes as one of its major theses the following formulation:

"Undergraduate degrees earned by women rarely lead to the same employment opportunity as those earned by men. To a lesser extent, the same is true for advanced degrees. Universities and colleges in their own employment policies ought to become model employers, demonstrating their readiness to engage women at every leaching, research, administrative and staff level. They ought to work through their placement and other offices to educate employers to pursue the same policy, thereby securing for women many more positions as salaries equal to those of men. If the above are done, and if women have the same job opportunities in all professions, including that of university leaching, the situation by the end of this decade will be dramatically· different from what if is today."

... I had great fun and excitement in the adventures of the mind that I experienced on this quiet River Campus under the tutelage of many great scholars, and my few years at Rochester confirmed my boyhood discovery that learning was fun and intellectual pursuit a game which one might hope to play right into adult life, and, with good luck, on into old age.

If you have not had such fun and inspiration from your studies here at Rochester, 1 feel sorry for you, and I admonish you to start playing quickly before you are so old that you have forgotten the games of childhood. The carefree enthusiasm that characterizes the curiosity of a child, the excitement and the exuberance and laughter that go with childish fun, and the fresh wonder, enthusiasm and unprejudiced perception with which a child meets new things, are attributes of learning which must never be removed from study and thought, lest life become oppressive and devoid of humor and love.

My injunction to be happy, to have fun and to play at your work and studies may seem frivolous, yet it is wisdom to return to and retain these childish ways.

If you do not enjoy your work, your children will reject your kind of work. If you are not happy in the way you live, your children will choose to live differently. If in leisure and in work you obviously have fun, your offspring will strive to emulate you

and respect your profession and your values. If learning, scholarship and research give you joy, your sons and daughters will eagerly

seek knowledge and wisdom. Yetta speak to you in such a vein makes me aware of how thoroughly we here have shared

a privileged nurture not granted to most of the worlds' populations: a leisure, and a plenty, a freedom, an education, and a cultural tradition which encourages and permits us to play the game of the quest for truth and the satisfaction of our curiosity on a grand scale.

-From remarks of D. Carleton Gajdusek, A.B. 1943, on receiving the degree Doctor of Science at the University of Rochester, May 8, 1977.

Knowledge is most efficiently gained by an iteration in which theory and practice play co-equal parts. A baby learns to walk and a scientist to solve his problems, using a process where theory suggests examination of empirical evidence, which excites new or modified theory which in turn suggests the examination of further empirical evidence, and so on . We are engaged in an endless iteration in which we are allowed to perceive a closer and closer approximation to what appears to be the larger truth.

The theories I am talking about are not just the theories of physical science. Our daily lives are ruled by theories , sometimes slated, but more often rwl: theories about economics, about psychology, about politics and about foreigll policy; theories about our neighbours and theories about ourselves.

But, if this advancemertl of learning is so well understood, why are we so slow to learn? Is it perhaps because it is very painful to apply? To be sure of the conli11uing worth of any theory we must relmtlessly seek for facts that may discredit it. It seems less tiresome, much less disturbing, and i11deed more honorable, gallantly to defend our theory in the face of rude and urtnccommodating fact.

It has been said that educatio11 is what is left after you have forgotten all you learned. If this be true, of what does the precious residue consist?

I think it co>Jsisls of the capacity to learn. It is an altitude of mind which is never satisfied with its represertlalion of the world: a mind which invites fact to suggest theory, however unwelcome, and requires theory to discover fact which can confirm or discredit opinion.

The sincere fanatic has done vast harm in the course of human history. But in our time and our country, the major flaw that has converted doing good into doing evil is very different: it is the temptation to solve every problem by spending somebody else's money. Only government has the power to do that on a large scale. So the standard cliche for every social ill has become­more government spending, more government manpower. The result has almost always been that the money ends up being spent for very different purposes than those intended by the do­gooders, and makes the problem worse rather than better.

Consider our urban slums. Housing for the poor is bad; there is urban blight; what shall we do about it? Men seeking to do good promoted public housing and urban renewal. The result-more dwelling units torn down than constructed; negro removal rather than urban renewal; worse slums and poorer housing conditions. Why? Because the do-gooders returned to their homes in a pleasing glow of rectitude once the laws were passed, leaving the field to the sustained efforts of persons who could benefit directly from the new programs. Evil special interests? No. Naive do-gooders trying to do good with someone's else's money.

This story is repeated in area after area. We are now spending on programs ostensibly directed at alleviating poverty, some $7 5 billion a year. If this were spread over those classified as "poor" by the arbitrary Social Security definition, it would come to something like $3,000 per man, woman, and child or to $12,000 per family of four. This is roughly the average income of the population as a whole. If this money were going to the poor, they would be among the well off and poverty would be a thing of the past. Obviously it is not. The label on the legislation is "poverty." But the content is waste and special interest-and by special interest, I include yours and mine. The truly poor would be better off if we taxed them less and erected fewer slush funds in their name.

As Thoreau wrote in 1854, around the time the University of Rochester was founded, "There is no odor so bad as that which arises from goodness tainted. It is human, it is divine, carrion. If I knew for a certainty that a man was coming to my house with the conscious design of doing me good, I should run for my life."

I am more of a reformer than he. I propose simply that we add an eleventh amendment to the bill of rights: Every person shall be free to do good-at his own expense.

- From remarks of Milton Friedman on receiving the degree Doctor of Science at the University of Rochester, June 6, 1971.

None of us can escape the great constitutional questions that now bedevil us. To the tech­nologist, the constitution with its marvelous checks and balances is a mechanical wonder. But the technologist is also, in a way, dismayed by the four-year cycle the constitution imposes . This four-year cycle was considered by our forefathers to be a necessary safeguard against tyranny; and, despite everything, I believe it works reasonably well in preventing despotism.

Four years is a short time insofar as modern technologies are concerned. The energy crisis will be with us for many, many decades. A modern central power plant is expected to last 30 or 40 years. The wastes of nuclear power plants will remain dangerous for thousands of years.

Thus one price of our political freedom is a mismatch between the political lime horizon and the technological time horizon. The political lime horizon is much shorter than the tech­nological one.

The great socio-lechnological decisions are made by people whose frame of time is short: politicians are constrained by the four-year cycle of re-election, industrialists by the necessity to slay in business-i.e., to make a short-term profit-even university research professors by the relatively short lime they are in contact with any given cohort of graduate students.

Each of you, at least at the beginning of your careers, will be part of our society's expert infrastructure: technologists, economists, teachers, doctors. Most of you will be working for people either in industry or government whose conceptions of lime are relatively short; they may speak bravely of the long range, but their heart is in the short range. And you, with the mod­ern skills and outlooks you have acquired at this university-your knowledge of systems analy­sis and large technologies and the inter-relatedness of things and historical perspective-will be frustrated by the short-sightedness of your employers. You will want large, all-encompassing solutions; your employers will settle for quick technological or social fixes.

On the whole, your employers will be more right than you. Every solution, whether social or technological, has deleterious and unforeseen side effects. A solution for one generation de­velops fatal flaws in succeeding generations. DDT cured malaria by killing mosquitoes, but it also killed the birds; Karl Marx redistributed wealth but brought Stalin; nuclear power is an inexhaustible energy source but demands a social commitment of future generations.

Thus you, too, will be inventing fixes-applying band-aids to our ailing society. You will become, indeed you are already part of, the band-aid society: an inevitable patchwork of small fixes, each applied to a new sore in the social organism.

Is a life of small-scale fixes the best I can offer you? No, not quite. Even though your desires and inclinations for broader solutions will bring you into conflict with the shorter sighted older generation , I can only urge you to keep pushing for the longer view, the broader approach-the approach you have learned at the University of Rochester.

For each of you has a responsibility to the society; and the time scale of the society is gen­erally a long one, not a short one. To exercise this responsibility-even when it may be in con­flict with your responsibility-even when it may be in conflict with yo11r responsibility to your parents, teachers, and employers- will require courage as well as ingenuity: for sometimes you will find it necessary to sacrifice yourself because your interest for the longer view is not ac­ceptable to those who employ you. But, on the whole, I think you should lake this risk and inject these longer perspectives into your careers. Your technological fixes and social fixes will thereby become more humane; perhaps more important, each of your lives will be more richly human.

I am deeply honored to receive this degree from so distinguished an institution. The tradi­tional costumes and ceremonies of this occasion remind us of enduring values from the past. They may also serve to remind us of the changes and contradictions that beset contemporary society.

Because universities are the cradle of future-oriented thinking, as well as tradition, I am highly honored to be associated today with those of you who earned the degrees being awarded here. Today's circumstances require the development and acceptance of new ideas about the goals and values of the human species and our relationship to the natural world. You and your col­leagues from other universities can be potent agents for facilitating and directing these changes .

Will our society accept reason, understanding and faith as guides for action, rather than rejecting knowledge as evil or dangerous?

When Adam ate the apple from the tree of knowledge, he lost the innocence whose absence distinguishes man from other predators. Are knowledge and rationality and, especially, science the apple juice from which evil inevitably follows?

Man is curious, and curiosity has impelled the reach for knowledge. But today's problems make some people hesitate and even reject the idea that knowledge is good.

Adam's apple, so to speak, is stuck in our throats. Still the quest for knowledge has kept man's eyes on the stars, and for many years sus­

tained his faith that he can control his destiny. It needs to give us faith today that we can learn to live in harmony with nature and one another.

But while we've eaten from the tree of knowledge, we've accumulated quite a pile of old apple cores around our ankles.

As the apple cores threaten to rise to our knees, we must realize that it is man's im­patience, greed, carelessness and disrespect for nature that causes knowledge to be turned against us. Man's hope lies in using knowledge and talent as an instrument for constructive change, not in rejecting it.

SMOKING IS PROHIBITED IN THE EASTMAN THEATRE

The Mace The mace, originally a weapon of defense, has in modern times become a symbol of authority, dignity, and privilege. English universities have used maces in academic processions for many centuries. The University of Rochester's present mace was first used at the induction of Alan Valentine as president in 1935, and has been used in academic processions since that time.

Philip Merz, designer of many of the architectural features of the early River Campus buildings, designed the University of Rochester's mace. It is approximately four feet in length, and is made of mahogany and hand-wrought silver. On the head is the seal of the University, and below that a silver band on which are engraved the names of the presidents of the University since its founding in 1850. The dandelion, floral symbol of the University, is used as the decorative motif of the silver work. The mace is carried by the University marshal as a symbol of authority. The baton, carrried by the associate marshal, is slightly less than two feet in length, and is made of mahogany studded with silver dandelions and stars.

Academic Attire The distinctive attire of those participating in the academic procession represents a tradition that reaches at least as far back as the fourteenth century when gowns similar to today's became the required dress at many European universities. Gowns were then a common form of apparel for both the clergy and the laity but today they survive chiefly in ecclesiastical or academic ceremonies such as those we shall witness today. The symbolism of the American style of regalia is described below. Variations may be observed in the attire of the graduates of foreign universities and of the several American institutions which have departed from tradition.

The gowns for the three levels of degrees differ primarily in the sleeve. The bachelor's gown has long pointed sleeves and is worn closed. The master's gown is usually worn open and has long square-cut sleeves with slits through which the forearms protrude. The doctor's gown has large bell-shaped sleeves with three velvet crossbars on the upper portion of the arm and velvet trimming down the front of the gown. The mortarboard derives from the Oxford cap and is generally black with a black tassel, although color is sometimes used to indicate the field in which the degree was awarded. Gold tassels denote the holders of doctorates.

The most colorful portion of the academic costume is the hood which varies in length from three feet for bachelor's degrees to four feet for doctorates. The color of the lining indicates the institution which granted the degree. The University's color is yellow. For the nine colonial colleges the colors are: Harvard, crimson; William and Mary, green, gold, and silver; Yale, blue; Pennsylvania, red and blue; Princeton, orange and black ; Columbia, light blue and white; Brown, brown; Rutgers, scarlet; and Dartmouth, green and white. Space does .not permit listing the colors of all the colleges represented in the procession. The color of the edging of the hood indicates the discipline to which the degree pertains, for example: Arts, Letters, and Human­ities, white; Commerce, Accounting, and Business, drab ; Dentistry, lilac; Education, light blue; Engineering, orange; Law, purple; Medicine, green; Music, pink; Nursing, apricot; Philosophy, dark blue; Science, golden yellow; and Theology, scarlet.
