a concert or buy a record of classical music or see a beautiful painting and become refreshed and recreated by it. But I let the forces of mediocrity cheat me, for the beautiful music to her is so much racket to me, and a trip to an art gallery just sharpens my taste for a horse race. So when I succumbed to the forces that persuaded me to avoid music and art appreciation when I chose my elective studies in college, they became my locked-in mediocrity. In matters of religion, man’s tenderest, most easily wounded spot is his spirit. It is like-wise, his most responsive for growth and development. The forces that pull him out of Sunday School and away from church are far stronger than the ones that pull him in, and this makes it too easy to neglect growth in this area. You, whom we honor today ... have at hand the the most effective weapon, the surest cure, the greatest eradicator of mediocrity known — scholarship. So permit me to join with you fellow cadets, the commandant’s staff... in hearty congratulations to you for winning the battle against mediocrity.
