At Commencement, Glenn Seymour Said:

"I share the emotions of you graduates because I

know what they are--a feeling of satisfaction at
completing a task, mingled with regret that an
exciting phase of your life has ended."

***

"Teaching has been as much ioy as I expected it
to be."

***

"I commend to you the profession of teaching. It
is a noble profession."

***

''When you a re a teacher, you need not be con-
science-stricken by sitting down and reading a
book. It is your work."

***

"To understand history is to know how the social
mold that made man was formed. The thing that
makes a man a man is the pressures put on him
by society."

"The generation gap?. Why bless you, it has
