“I do not believe it is the busi
ness of education to save the
world or build a new society,”
Dr. D. M. Wiggins, president of
Texas Technological College, told
the largest graduating class in
A&M'a history arid their guests
at Friday evening's graduation
ceremonies at Kyle Field.
"J believe It Is the business of
education," ^he continued, "to
assist In tha’processes of adjust
ment and to help men take thetr
places in society and give that
society capable leadership."
Wiggins then traced the de
velopment of early schools in
this country and said the schools
kept pfcpamlihg their fields of
study as frontier societies became
mbhe complex nnd demanded
knowledge of many subjects. The
earliest schools offered only
'reddin', ’wrltin’, and 'rlthmetlc'
berfnuse those studies met the
demands of society then, .Wig
gins stated.
He used the school develop
ment theme to drive home his
beliefs that in the early teaching
system seeds of traditional Ame
rican individualism were sown.
"Security wtjs not what they
(the founding fatherg) came to
America in quest fo^,” he said.
They came in search of freedom
and dignity,/’ j Hie! lambasted
those in America who seek secu
rity first, and freedom and liber
ty second.
"I do not believe in freedom
want and ( fear; I believe in the
dignity of individualism from
security.”
Dr. Wiggins was introduced by
president F. C. Bolton. Bolton
praised the graduating seniors
for their scholastic achievement.
Summing up he said, "This has
been a good year.”
Dean M. T. Harrington Intro
duced the valedictorian William
Paine Hyman, geology major
from Matagorda. Ryman ex
pressed gratitude to A&M for its
high caliber of education. To the
group he said, "We who are gra
duating this evening are aware
of the great debt we owe to socie
ty for the education \ye have re
ceived. We owe a debt to the
people of Texas for their support
of this educational institution. We
owe a debt to the federal govern
ment for its aid to us who are
veterans in the form of the GI
BUI. and the cadets owe a debt
to, the government for the mili
tary training they have received.”
Perhaps the moat, dramatic
moment of the whole ceremony
came when Hyman paid tribute
0 the veteran's wives "whose
courage ami Inspiration and sacri
fices have been unlimited."
"Indeed those veteran's wives
Id
should bo considered graduates
from this Institution," he said. A
hush, then an ovation followed.
The ovation started In the
graduating class section nnd
spread throughout the crowd.
Following the speeches the
names of graduates were called
and diplomas awarded. An honor-
