Caldwell.","African-Americans -- Blacks -- Education -- Fayetteville -- Washington","UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS, 1958 Dr. John T. Caldwell, President One reason given by the Commencement committee for making this address my responsibility is that it is the only occasion on which some of the graduates ever will hear the President of the University! That is probably true, but no schocking loss to the student would occur if the record stayed clear. It reminds me of the story of a President of a small college who despite the size was consitutionally unable to remember student and faces. Urged to unbend a but and give at least the appearance of interest in them he made pro- digious efforts, with some unfourtunate results. \"And how is your father?\" he asked of one face on campus. \"Oh, sir, he's dead.\" Getting over that one somehow, a week later he made the same inquiry with the same voice replying, \"Oh, sir,he's still dead.\" I have already been reading some of the current commencement oratory as reported in the press. It reminds me of some of my own in the past. I hope you know how difficult it is to think of something to say to you on this large occassion which is worth your time. Knowing first-hand the pitfalls, I have determined to reduce them as much as possible by speaking briefly. By doing so, I suspect you will be grateful quite regardless of the content of what is said, and , further, there is a better chance that I will have less of my own inadequacy to reflect upon. So what I say will at least be short, simple, and sincere. It will also be pure unadulterated, but unashamed, sentiment. Not quite the same degree of sentiment as is expressed in the old ballad by Barbara Allen:"],"dc_format":["application/pdf"],"dcterms_identifier":null,"dcterms_language":null,"dcterms_publisher":["Fayetteville, Ark. : University of Arkansas Libraries"],"dc_relation":null,"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":["University of Arkansas Office of the President"],"dcterms_subject":["African Americans--Arkansas","Civil rights--Arkansas","Race discrimination--Arkansas","Segregation--Arkansas"],"dcterms_title":["University of Arkansas Commencement Address, 1958"],"dcterms_type":["Text"],"dcterms_provenance":["University of Arkansas, Fayetteville.

Caldwell.","African-Americans -- Blacks -- Education -- Fayetteville -- Washington","\"O mother, mother, make my bed, O make it soft and narrow; My love has died for me today I'll die for him tomorrow....\" But nevertheless, some words I have on the sentiment of commencement, gradu- ates and Alma Mater. The focus of Commencement derives from two dimmensions, the human, personal dimension and that of time. These exercises are a present moment of time in the life of each of you, with all the special meanings your past and your present dreams for the future give to it. After tonight a milestone will past. Even as you go to bed tonight somehow your orientation will have shifted a little bit more to tomorrow, to what's next for you along the way. Contemplating this special point of time for you, I am reminded of Roark Bradford's Old Man Adam and His Children. \"De Lawd\" was talking with Noah about the prospect of rain for \"fawty days and fawty nights\". Noah was not aware that he was talking with \"de Lawd\", until de Lawd reached into his blouse, pulled out his crown and set it on his head. \"Den he start to talk, and thunder and light- nin' come outer his mouf. So old Noah jes drap down on his knees. \" 'Yar I is Lawd,\" he say, \"Yar I is. I ain't much, but I'm de best I got' \". I know a young man in this class for whom this moment is a great moment in- deed. Married as a high school youth, working as a high school graduate, he reached the decision he needed more education. Tonight is the climax of the years since that decision marked by dogged financial struggle, hard work at not one but several part time jobs, and great academic success. Tomorrow, following this point of time, he moves into a substantial corporation position with ample salary to support him and his wife and children and maybe to help the folcks back home a little. - 2 -"],"dc_format":["application/pdf"],"dcterms_identifier":null,"dcterms_language":null,"dcterms_publisher":["Fayetteville, Ark. : University of Arkansas Libraries"],"dc_relation":null,"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":["University of Arkansas Office of the President"],"dcterms_subject":["African Americans--Arkansas","Civil rights--Arkansas","Race discrimination--Arkansas","Segregation--Arkansas"],"dcterms_title":["University of Arkansas Commencement Address, 1958"],"dcterms_type":["Text"],"dcterms_provenance":["University of Arkansas, Fayetteville.

This is a moment for them too, not to be taken for granted by the son or daughter in his or her flush of glory. \"Yar I is, Lawd\"; \"Yar I is. I ain't much, but I am the best I got.\" Here you are and each of you right now is the best you've got. How good is it? Let's assume for comment (and for honesty's sake) that it isn't in every case as good as it might have been. But for sure it is better than it would have been except for all the help you've had along the way. Many people and events and institutions of society have helped make what you are at this moment and therefore to provide the scope and meaningfulness for tomorrow. Among then stands the University of Arkansas. Without the intention of being boastful or appearing to be blind to whatever faults we have, may I say in a paragraph what I hope the University has helped you add to yourself, to become the best that you are at this moment of time. We hope that your understanding of yourself is greater. We hope that your personal competence, your ability to think and to perform has been increased. We hope that your feeling for your fellowman is more generous, less selfish and less subject to prejudice and to artificial standards of worth. We hope that you have gained some understanding of and sense of duty toward the human communities of which you are a necessary part. We hope you have a more refined sense of beauty and happiness. We hope that your faith in Divine goodness and mercy is somehow stronger. We hope that you are more just in your thinking and dealings than you were before you came to us, that you reflect in your lives more of the universal jus- tice all men are seeking. To state these hopes is to indicate the breadth of concern and high mission - 4 -"],"dc_format":["application/pdf"],"dcterms_identifier":null,"dcterms_language":null,"dcterms_publisher":["Fayetteville, Ark. : University of Arkansas Libraries"],"dc_relation":null,"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":["University of Arkansas Office of the President"],"dcterms_subject":["African Americans--Arkansas","Civil rights--Arkansas","Race discrimination--Arkansas","Segregation--Arkansas"],"dcterms_title":["University of Arkansas Commencement Address, 1958"],"dcterms_type":["Text"],"dcterms_provenance":["University of Arkansas, Fayetteville.

Whether hopes are realized or not realized depends upon many things: the quality, character and dedication of the faculty, most of all, and then perhaps some other elements as buildings and equipment. Since 1871 this University has had a reason to be proud of its effort and of the persons whose names adorn its past. In the present too wee have such names, who too frequently and too soon reach retirement. The attainments depend too upon the students who come to study in these halls, laboratories and greenhouses. Who are they and whence do they come? They are you and they come mostly [form] the homes of Arkansas, expressing the ambitions and hopes, the standards and the outlook of a proud citizenry. If we have fallen short in providing the kind of environment and experiences for you which you deserved, no doubt you already are conscious of it. The unfol- ing years, however, will remind you of the positive and good influences of this University and will tend to diminish the others. May it be so. You will also reflect upon what you've learned here with unfolding wisdom and fresh insights from time to time, enriched by you own inherent capacity to reflect upon existence and life. Do you remember Walt Whitman's \"When I Heard the Learn'd Astronomer\"? 'When I heard the learn'd astronomer, When the Proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me, When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, to divide, and measure them, When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room, How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick, Till rising and gliding out I wander'd off by myself, In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time, Look'd up in perfect silence at the stars.\" how many things learned here will become meaningful to you later on in some unsuspecting moment, and in quietness of reflection sometime, or in the preassure of conflict perhaps? - 5 -"],"dc_format":["application/pdf"],"dcterms_identifier":null,"dcterms_language":null,"dcterms_publisher":["Fayetteville, Ark. : University of Arkansas Libraries"],"dc_relation":null,"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":["University of Arkansas Office of the President"],"dcterms_subject":["African Americans--Arkansas","Civil rights--Arkansas","Race discrimination--Arkansas","Segregation--Arkansas"],"dcterms_title":["University of Arkansas Commencement Address, 1958"],"dcterms_type":["Text"],"dcterms_provenance":["University of Arkansas, Fayetteville.

The Uni- veristy desires not to smother you with the parental concerns of Alma Mater, but to free youm and in doing so I hope, even as a mother does, that you will return, or not returning, love and remember from afar. But best of all, we want you to fulfill our hopes that our offspring from this partly mysterious world of learning can think of us as would Lord Tennyson as he wrote in \"In Memoriam\" of his friend: \"...Strange friend, past, present and to be; Loved deeplier, darklier understood; Behold I dream a dream of good, And mingle all the world with thee...\" Your life will continue to unfold in countless ways forever. Fresh ex- periences will teach new duties, will compel you to learn more, to understand more. But you will always be building to some degree upon what you gleaned from your Alma Mater, \"strange friend\" indeed. Time will make it for you less of a stranger and less remote, but always past and present to be, as is this mo- ment, helping you to \"dream a dream of good\". Mingling as you will with all the world, your University will also be there minglingwith you, lifting you and your world higher and higher --- because of hope in the ways dreary lighted. - 6 -"],"dc_format":["application/pdf"],"dcterms_identifier":null,"dcterms_language":null,"dcterms_publisher":["Fayetteville, Ark. : University of Arkansas Libraries"],"dc_relation":null,"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":["University of Arkansas Office of the President"],"dcterms_subject":["African Americans--Arkansas","Civil rights--Arkansas","Race discrimination--Arkansas","Segregation--Arkansas"],"dcterms_title":["University of Arkansas Commencement Address, 1958"],"dcterms_type":["Text"],"dcterms_provenance":["University of Arkansas, Fayetteville.

I know a mother who this evening gets a Master's degree. Her salary in her small elementary school will be higher next year because she has this evening received a piece of paper which says to her ---\"you did it.\" That piece of paper says many more things to her, how she can get the living room fixed up now, at least that. And it will help her 17-year-old daughter go to college next year and her young David later on. And they are ever so proud of their mother. I know a beautiful girl in the class who came here four years ago, abundantly supported financially, but with no special purpose in mind except \"to go to the University\" and enjoy it. She has enjoyed it to the hilt and has caused more than one male heart to miss a beat as she passed through the corridors and along the paths. But something more has happenned to her here. She suddenly found the excitment of learning, she discovered her own mind, and now she wants to use it --- teaching. What a prize she is! And how can we measure for her the meaning of tonight? I know a Negro in this MA class tonight who entered his State's University with some apprehensions as to how he would come out, but because he found in its students and faculty helpfulness, and respect for him as a man and a student, he gets his diploma, and more. He is not only proud of his degree, he is grateful that his home State has given him the full opportunity to earn it. He stands a bit straighter than he did. his wife and three children do too. Mankind moved up a notch or two tonight. How can we measure such a moment? So the stories go, private and intimate for each of you.
