Chancellor Hubert talks to Texas A&M grads Dr. Frank E. Vandiver by Rebeca Zimmermann Battalion Staff Texas A&M System Chancel lor Frank W.R. Flubert told gra duates at Saturday morning commencement to help change and adapt to the problems of to day and tomorrow, to be crea tive and reach beyond current knowledge and to retain indi viduality while contributing to a group. “When you leave this struc tured and somewhat sheltered environment we call a university campus and go just outside those gates to what is properly called ‘the real world,’ the hon ors program criterion changes from grade point averages to the productivity of the individual as a member of some work group,” Hubert told graduates of the colleges of Business Administra tion, Education, Science and Texas A&M University at Gal veston Saturday. Hubert said the graduates would help the University, the nation and themselves by doing three things: “Help change and adapt the complexities of living today and tomorrow without forsaking Your Danskin Headquarters Manor East Mall 779-6718 WE BUY BOOKS EVERYDAY!

Osgood read the poem in a commencement address to the graduating class at St. Bonaventure University a few years ago. Although Hubert said Osgood didn’t give his poem a title, Hubert called it “If I Were You.” It told how Osgood would work hard and be “the sort of guy you love to hate” if he could live his life over. He told stu dents to “go and do what I would do.” Two former students, Alfred I. Davies and Field Scovell, re ceived Distinguished Alumni Awards. President Frank E. Vandiver said award winners are selected on the basis of their contribu tions to benefit humankind through their work and devoted support of programs at Texas A&M.
