Emphasizes Importance Of Christian Social Activity In Address To Graduates

"'l'he eradication of the current- V rampant social and economic evils which are, such an obstacle to the well-being of Christ's Mystical Body here on earth is the challenge that confronts the talents and zeal of today's Christ- ian graduates." Most Rev. Mal- eolm A. Macllnchern. Bishop of Charlottetown. declared in ad- dressing the graduating class at the convocation of St. Dunstan's University yesterday.

In his opening remarks His lvcsllency said srnillngly: "I can never understand why young peo- ple must be subjected to so much punishment by way of talk on the occasion of graduation. There are reaso for euspsetin that already in the course of some four years. a certain resistance has been set up to the accept- ance of further advice or the nquisition of new knowledge. such as might, by some accident, be associated with an address to graduates.

"Today. as the victim of acade- mic tradition. I feel that I can with justice appeal to my experi- enoe of 2! years of participation is commencement exercises. when I say that my words will. for the most part. fell upon deaf ears. I this respect. it is safe to say that you are not different from graduates of other years and other institutions. In fact I am naive enough to believe that you are not too unlike myself in this matter. Exposed as I have been to dozens of talks given to gradu- ates during the past quarter of e century.-I find myself unable to recall a single thought expres- sedinanynneolthen-well prepared and well delivered as Iiey may have been.
