The report contines:
"The result of the publicity has

been a blow to the morale of the

unfortunate that the original allega-

responsibly by professionally' quali-

that President Quincy Doudna in

"Dissent, AMost Precious Right"

Dr. Hobart F. Heller, retiring Vice President
for Instruction, delivered the charge to the
class (652 persons were eligible for de-
grees) at Eastern's spring commencement.
Following is the text of Dr. Heller's address.

The typical graduate in today's class started in 1963. He
has lived through the most exciting and dynamic four years
in the history of higher education.

They have been years of ceaseless movement, years of
challenge, years in which, from the federal government to
the freshman, there has been constant demand for everything
"right now."

.
They have been years of constrasts. In 1963-64 college
students from many campuses went into the South to join
dramatically in a movement in the interest of human justice.
Then, when they returned, some of them transferred the
techniques they had learned to situations in which they were
clearly inappropriate. It was probably too much to expect
them to understand that it was the moral force of their parti-
cipation, not the technique, which was their lasting contri-
bution. When they so uncritically transferred the techniques,
they forgot that there are two equally precious aspects of
freedom, the right of dissent is one; the other is the necessity
for order which free people create for themselves and within
which they may move with confidence. Dissent, a most
precious right, is necessary as a means of search for truth;
it is a vital means of persuasion; but it must stop short of
anarchy if we are to remain free.

These years have been a period in which thousands of
college students and college graduates were inspired to. give
two years of their lives to the Peace Corps. Those who have
returned show an intangible·something of great significance
in their bearing.

They were years of student concern for a war which
seems to some to be endless and without purpose, a war
without flying flags, a war without a song, a tedious war
whose purpose can be examined only in the light of distant
vision, distant vision in an age that so often concentrates on
the immediate. And it is a war which many fear has the po-
tential of exploding into a final catastrophe unless guided
with the greatest wisdom.
