The ever new story of com mencement was again repeated at Chapel Hill during the past week when for the 132nd time a eroup of University of North Carolina seniors went through the process that takes them from the world of books and studies to a world of business, or as Par son Moss put it when talking to . the class "from i a world of ideals tp a world of deals." The regular commencemem period opened on Friday, June 3 when at y:du A. M. the senior class formed in a line in front of Memorial Hall and marched to Gerrard Hall for a short prayer service led by Rev. Wal ter Patton, pastor of the Chape! Hill Metho,dist church. Devotional Program Mr. Patton admonished the seniors that their lives would never be larger or, finer than their ideals. "Our lives flow out of our thinking, our ideas, and our ideals," he said. "Our thinking is, the governing con trol of all our deeds. "Those who touch our civili zation are called on to stand alone for a vision he or she may have seen," he continued. "What ever the realm it matters not, hut where there has been a pos sessing idea, and where a man has stood alone for it, he . has won. It is this dare to do the impossible alone that has brought our civilization for ward. The test of our whole lives come when we are required to stand alone and fight single- handed." - ' Class Day Exercises Following the prayer service the class exercises were held with C. E.

WALTER LIPPMANN KINSCELLA CLASS BEGINS MONDAY Other Musical Instruction Work Offered; Announcements About Courses Made.

LIPPMANN SAYS NE W SOUTH WILL PLAY GREAT PART New York Editor in Commence ment Address Points Out Dif ferences in Situations Con fronting .Modern Youth from Those of the Past. "Nothing, I believe, since the opening of the West; has so great a meaning to the f uture of America as the profound trans formation which is now taking place in the economic structure and with that in the political and intellectual outlook of the southern state," declared Walter Lippmann, editor of the New York World, Monday morning in Memorial Hall in making the iterary address of the 132nd commencement of the Univer sity. Stating that the modern youth is to "be a part of an epoch-making change," the speaker pointed out how the ex isting conditions of today differ from those of the past.

The main affairs of his community were in the hands of men whom he knew. The eco nomic relations of his time were between people whom he knew. He saw with his own eyes the farms, the workshops, the stores, he market places, which affected his livelihood. xne moaern man's position is totally differ ent. He works and sells his goods to unknown people in a distant market. Knowledge in Constant Flux The 'second respect which the situation of the modern man dif fers from that of his ancestor is that there exists today no au thoritative and organized body of knowledge which it is pos sible for any living man to ab sorb, said the New York editor. At the climax of the Greek civi lization Aristotle could encom pass the whole field of human knowledge. At the climax of the great medieval civilization St. Thomas Aquinas could do the same with the knowledge of his day. It is no. longer possible to present anyone with a complete (Continued! on pagt Jowr) The music department, ac cording to Director John Paul Weaver, is offering more courses in musical instruction at this summer school than it ever has in the past.
