We should be dissatisfied with the “A’s” we have received for the “C” effort we put forth. We should be restless for knowledge above and beyond the requirements. We should be disgusted with our inability to think clearly, or simply, to think. And then, when we are thoroughly discontent with our over-magnified egoes, we must set our plans, each according to his need and skill, to make much needed corrections and additions within. There should follow then, a severe case of general social discontent with the evils of our society and the fallacies in our democracy. We should be discontented with a liberal arts education when 10 per cent of our people are still illiterate. We should be discontented with our academic robes when there is one American left ill-clad. We should be dissatisfied that we have produced only one Ralph J. Bunche. We should be discontented when our Southern schools need library facilities, scientific laboratories and san itary eating conditions. One thing we must realize as graduating college stu dents, and it is this: there should never be a minute of satisfaction with our selves as long as we live.
