The Class of 1948 met Dr.
Edgar Odell Lovett for the first
time at the Physics Amphithe-
utre Monday morning when he
delivered his matriculation ad-
dress before some 400 new stu-
dents.
Our Welcome to Rice 1.94.1.
1 . m this name of thi; founder, trua*
toes, faculty, students, and friends
of the Kiee Institute, 1 am here to
welcome you cordially to the rights,
duties, and privileges afforded by the
fellowship of this foundation. For
the moment, I hold their proxies to
hail you as partners in their hltfh
enterprise for the* advancement of
letters, science, and art, learning and
research. in individual women and
men, and in tlie wider world of hu-
mankind mi this planet and beyond.
Oil their behalf 1 congratulate you
warmly on your good fortune in en-
tering un this new relationship to
your university, another human rela-
tionship, of dignity and loyalty, (sig-
nificance and importance, opportuni-
ty and responsibility, itt once eom-
purahto in, these, respects to your
lifelong relationships to family, coun-
try, church, and God,
For my i own part,, personally, I am
delighted to see you and to wish you
happy days. .Life for you has been
full of happy days. Not only . talent
and ambition, but kindness, pity, and
the like within and without, from you
to otfiers, and from Others to you,j
have already brought you many hap-
py days, many ;of them already and
irretrievably,, gone. Of a singularly
happy, -boyhood I have no brighter
memory tha n of the day I started to
i college, wholly unaware that I Would
be returning to college every anM'jln
thereafter. I should like to think that
this occasion will forever stand out
as sharply for you as that similar ex-
perience, , has always stood; out in
riSunoiv for. me.
Attitude Toward the War
. The dal" isSs'Hlelibly stamped for
you by' the war. You have been
broughtup to abhor war, and by that
token aUVn.e you must' idefiloi'e the
thinjrs of force and violence and in-
justice «hall not recur.
Now you can serve the hi«rh ends
of truth and freedom and Justice, for
yourselves, your people, and all peo-
ples, in no hotter way than by setting
soberly uhout the business that hus
hroUK'ht you to this place, in coming
here you are carrying out long-laid
plans either your own long-laid
plans, or the long-laid plans Of your
parents for you. With just such plans
as yours others have come here be-
fore you, Many have succeeded be-
yond the best hopes in them; others
have fuiled. For your sticcejifB, J very
earnestly hope. Indeed, you must not
fall. A running start, where permis-
sible, may be half the winniny of a:
font-race. In your' first race here, I
declare a running fttttft legitimate.
I therefore wish to help you to a
good running start.
The Kijniiing of a Haees Competition
There are many kinds of races to
be run. You may not enter all of
them, nor need you be staggered |>y
the variety of qualities required for
the running of any race, What are
some of these qualities,? Some of
them are intelligence, training, con-
centration, endurance, and courage in
defeat no less than joy in triumph.
And who will say that these qualities
are not mutters that count in every
walk of life? The exercise of such
qualities will engage you almost con-
stantly. Your engagements for the
most; part wjll be on a competitive
basis. You will : lie teompeting , not
only , with others but also with your-
self. And you will be all. the better
for the competition in' both kinds.
The immediate competition ahead of
you ' is primarily a race.,of minds; Jn;
communities1 like our own, the mind,
is the man, the heart, the other hall'
of him.' For us the" 'supreme faculty
Of ihind tis a faculty that vfft call ica-
son. Reason dominates the mind as
arbiter and judge. ■ 1
For what' happens ; when '.you
think? 1 am not sure, but when I am
able to think and happily I think
I am able to think most of the time—
I am conscious of several things
happening;1 In the first place, nleaS
cp.me, whether from within 'Of from
without 1 know not, for 1 have never
been able to decide if from within
how, or from without whence. But
ideas come. 0lit.of thein and with the
help of arrangements called, defini-
tions, axioms, and postulates, I form
judgments, that is to say, 1 frame
sentences stating that such and such
present Kuropean war. By law and|il thing is .so, or such and such a
governmental proclamation we are (tKinjs is riot so. In the next place, I
III,nil -neutral with resnoet to the, bave to make, ai'illlC sort ot a'pprhisal
of what. 1 think, that is, 1 have to de-
termine «h ether what 1 am thinking
is sense or nonsense.: For I often have
declared 'neutral W'ith respect to the.
war. As citizens of the re^yblic you
acknowledge the authority of our
constituted government, so constitut-
ed by the people more than a hundred
anil fifty yea,rs ago, 111 all good faith
you will act accordingly, that is to
say, you will obey the law in letter
and in spirit. If, by will of the peo-
ple through an act of the Congress,
the law of the land should be
changed, then again you will accept
the decision of the government, a
decision in which you will have par-
ticipated through „,vour constitution-
ally .appointed representatives, And
the experience Josh' Hillings1 de-
scribedWhen lie said the tr.Mihle with
most people is that so much of what
they know isn't so. Finally, I reach
a conclusion only whejf1; reason steps
in again, aided by imagination look-
ing ahead, and by memory looking
back. , ,! ..'' . ,
You have no faculties superior to
these faculties of mind. You will de-
rive great: satisfaction from carry-
ing your, mind about with you and
theret'ore in all good conscience you I using the, faculties of that mind of
will obey the new law, whatever that
law may be. But, you cannot possibly
assume and maintain an attitude of
indifference to the war. The devas-
tatmig distractions of its events,
whether in rumor, confirmation, de-
nial. or, anticipation, are brought
daily, almost hourly,; to you. In my,
.opinion the best you can possibly do,
and this for the present only in
thought, is to i'rcsolve quietly 'and
calmly that, in so far as you can pre-
pare yourselves for the next fifty
of life, these
your 'own on every possible occasion.
When running' this kind, of a race
with yourself,: you win, as 'in other,
conquests of knowledge,., by asking
the right questions and finding the
right answers. You will also do well
to carry your unsolved problems
about with you in your mind, J'or
you are as. likely as not to catch up
with solutions in the most unexpected
ways and places. And T have found
encouragement, to effort in the fact
that in these racings of the mind it.
is not always the best mind that

wins, and that even under unfavor-
able conditions, your mind, when not
at its strongest, can often run a very
(rood race.
The Relay Race: Cooperation
Then there is the relay race. Here
cooperation in'the dominant note. The
Idea of the relay race carries, you im-
mediately out of and beyond your-
selves Into the very current of civili-J
nation itself. Our civili/.ution has con-
tinued and luis carried on by the pus-
sing on from hund to hund of the
torch. }1en ure despairing of civilistn-
tion. The history of it justifies some
fear for its future. But there is no
despair of civiliisatitin here. The real-
ly inspiring thitlg in this (lay to you
it) that you, in tutu, l ight here arid
now, are taking up the torch to pass
it on. And what of the torch? it is a,
flaming torch, but not «i.firebrand, tt
is a burning beacon of light and
leacfihg; a flaming torch agajp, of
reason,,' of freedom, of humanity,
of faith in (iod anil inan, , The
flames of the, torcjh are undying
flanujs, They are fed by the deep-
est emotions 6|f men and women,
by the conscience, courage, arid1 con-
victions of the human heart. YoV will
keep them forever burhing. You will
not let them go out. You will feed
them alike in peace olid in war.
Again,, the idea of the relay race
must appeal .-ptriiivgly to you1 because
in actual performance, it (■omliines

The Kunner: ( onsecratiun
Finally, the runner is Hinjflemind-
edly and wholeheartedly bent to his
task. It is the whole of him, and not
a part of him, that runs, lie starts
with confidence in himself and drives
to the finish under concentration of
mind, coordination of muscle, com-
pulsion of will, and consecration oi
spirit. The circumstances of the race
are not of his own choosing! he runs
at an appointed time, in an appointed
place, as often as not on an unknown
truck, arid, more often than not, im-
perfectly Informed of the field
against him. Whether he win or lose,
'lie needs neither shout nor sympathy,
if he knows within him that his
character has triumphed in the race.
Whether he win or lose, the crown-
ing glory of the race for him is the
satisfaction in reward of industry
on having run a fair and honest race,
with judgment that never flagged,
and courage that never failed.
