- W104493108 abstract "is a series of milestones full Life -* of monotony as each marker adds but another unit to the series. We stand today beside one of those markers. We read the legend: Graduation and on the other side: Commencement. Stopping to think a minute upon the anomaly contained in the antipodal meaning of those two words are suddenly shocked into the realization that this milestone is alarmingly different. This marker faces abruptly in both directions. We slipped from babyhood to childhood without realizing the transition; suspect that the adult moves so easily into old age that the turning point is never marked. Yet the transition which today consummate is emphasized and celebrated in programs and exercises. From the almost cloistered shelter of a child-centered school where were the children are being thrown suddenly into a troubled water where our very existence is predicated upon the display of initiative. Today 100,000 college seniors stand fearfully at the portal of the Grand Disillusionment. The world doesn't want us can't use us. We've always taken for granted our particular place in the sun and now find it but a mirage. There are no posts, no positions not even any jobs. We are the youth of the land and suddenly become rudely conscious of our age as realize that today our years are something of an accusation. Almost suddenly realize that the world has certain labels which it likes to pin upon our youth. Youth, it says, is the time of storm and stress, of protest, iconoclasm, of chafing at conventions and against restraint. The world delights in emphasizing in caricature our tendencies, and its kindest judgment is that eventually we will outgrow it. It is unquestionably true that the college man thinks in more radical terms than the adult, that experience acts as a leavening influence on what must necessarily be but embryonic ideas, that youth is over-enthusiastic, sp aks in superlatives when comparatives would be better, pays too little attention to the effect of words and actions. But equally true is the charge that age is all too inclined to mistake honest conviction and sincere protest for intellectual Bolshevism. If a student discusses politics he is a Communist j peace, he is a pacifist ' religion, an atheist. Youth may be iconoclastic, but it is neither haphazard nor insincere. There is behind the protest of youth a cardinal principle. We do not hold that whatever is, is wrong; are merely loath to acknowledge that whatever is, is right.
