Tonight Doubt Cited By Swing As Virtue '42 Graduates Hear News Commentator Doubt and courage and inexperience are the virtues that belong to the young generation today the young generation that will fight this war, finish it, and take the lead in building the world of tomorrow, Raymond Gram Swing, famed news commentator and former correspondent in Berlin and other important posts, reminded mem bers of the 1942 graduating class who received their diplomas at the 148th Commencement exercises in Kenan Stadium here Tuesday night. "I am not sorry for you," he de clared. "I do not lament that you have come upon the scene in this tragic hour. You have the stamina and the fortitude to bear the exactions of deep change. You will dare to examine all, to doubt all. You will build the new world with the bricks and the- mortar of doubt. - "You will erect and then have to change your plans. You will rebuild and redesign. But you will press for ward. The forward-movers always are the doubters. You, too, will toss on your pillows. You too will feel the dread that goes with growth. You will know that you do not know. Well may we put our positive faith in you for you give promise of being what we your fathers were not able to be, a Generation of builders " sdaj grKuj I largest class in the history of the in stitution. More than 800 young men and women received their diplomas from the hands of Governor J. Mel ville Broughton, after which President Frank P. Graham bade them farewell. Administrative Dean Robert B. House presided over the ceremonies. Terming this period in the history of the world an Age of Doubt, Mr. Swing professed a belief in the virtue of doubt, asserting that underneath it is a foundation of positive faith. "There is faith in the need for free dom and in the practicability of free dom, freedom of mind and freedom un der the law," he declared. "Such faith is the cornerstone of democracy. For democracy itself is a paradox, a society of individuals who are true to their own visions, but who are concerned with the rights of other individuals. . . . For democracy, whatever its con stitutional form, is dedicated td the protection and fulfillment of the indi vidual, and the individual can only grow if he has the courage to doubt." It is only the Fascists who are sure of themselves, Mr. Swing averred. "But there is one certainty we do have we are sure we reject, the Nazi and Japanese concept of society. We would rather die than to be slaves to their mastery, or to compromise our pros pects of remaining free.

Accelerated Summer Work Begins Today Phillips to Head Summer Quarter The largest summer session enroll ment ever witnessed in the history of the University is expected to throng registration tables this morning with the opening of the first summer quar ter in World War II. Conservative estimates by adminis trative officials border on the 2,500 mark for the first session of the sum mer quarter as final preparations for first "fourth quarter" summer session ae begun to be tested. Unique from former summer ses sions in being a continuation of the regular school year, this summer's quarter will witness the admittance of a complete freshman class at the be ginning of the summer quarter as the University's speed-up program steps from theory into reality. Undergraduates Preparations are completed for an undergraduate enrollment of triple the normal number of students from the regular session who enter sum mer school, Guy B. Phillips, director of the summer quarter, stated. The summer quarter will be divided into two terms of six weeks each, the combination of which will be the equi valent of a full quarter of work in the University. Utilizing the summer quarters, students may complete the four year, requirements for an under graduate degree in three years. To improve and facilitate this nor mal capacity for the speed-up pro- -gramessential in wartime Univer sity officials have sought to simulate as nearly as possible the summer quar ter to one of the normal regular ses- ; sion quarters. . The University is operating on the four quarter basis with particular stress on the needs for hastening graduation and to meet special course problems in connection with war ac tivities. Plans are being made to meet the needs of the undergraduate stu dents who wish to advance their grad uation date. Satisfactory Program Under the speed-up program, stu dents may now enter in June, Septem ber, January and March. Officials state that a student can begin at any one of these points and be able to get a satisfactory program. The usual undergraduate offerings, plus special types of work, will be available, Phillips stated recently. Many college students from other in- -, stitutions have already been accepted 1 J to carry on particular courses which fit into an accelerated program at their own institutions. Graduate work for public school teachers and administrators has been given special emphasis in order to make it possible for them to meet the recently adopted certification require ments in connection with higher rat ings. The summer quarter is open to high school graduates, high school students not having a diploma but who have successfully completed certain exam inations, students in other institutions, See ACCELERATED, page ?
