‘Knowledge Explosion, Its
Implications To Graduates
Dr. Robert O. Arnold, former
chairman of the Georgia Univer
sity Board of Regents, spoke of
the explosion of knowledge and its
implications to today’s graduates
in his commencement address at
Oxford College of Emory Univer
sity.
The retired business executive
and civic leader, yet still active
said: "Education is a capital
investment and probably our most
Important investment. But ex
pensive as it is, it costs much
less than ignorance.”
"Knowledge,” said Dr. Arn
old, "is growing at a fantastic
rate. Someone has estimated
that knowledge doubled in the
1750 s from the birth of Christ
to the beginning of the industrial
age; has doubled four times in
the 200 years since that time;
that knowledge is accumulating
so fast now, that it soon may be
doubling every six months.”
Allen Memorial auditorium
was crowded beyond Its seating
capacity as the largest class In
Oxford’s history observed Its
entire commencement in forty
five minutes. That, too was
perhaps a record as the cere
monies moved smoothly and sw
iftly along.
About two-thirds of the 150
graduates will continue their st
udies in higher education at Em
ory University. All the others
plan to continue their studies
at other colleges and univer
sities.
In the baccalaureate sermon
at 11 A.M., Dr. Gordon Thomp
son spoke to the students on free
dom and its Implications for
responsible living and working
In a free society such as ours.

Dr. Robert O. Arnold of Covington, former chairman of the Georgia Board of Regents, delivers the
commencement address to the Oxford College graduates. Dr. Arnold spoke on the "Explosion of Know
ledge and Its Implications To Today’s Graduates.” The commencement service was held at Allen Me
morial Church in Oxford Sunday afternoon as the largest class in Oxford’s history observed its entire
commencement in a record time of forty-five minutes.
He spoke of "Freedom for res
ponsibility, not freedom for In
dependence.”
The Candler Seminary pro
fessor said, "The Bible con
cept of freedom is freedom from
self-centeredness and pride; a
liberation for the fulfillment for
free and responsible sonship un
der God.”
Between the baccalaureate and
commencement services over
500 graduates, their relatives
and friends, guests and faculty
members ate lunch in the spac
ious air-conditioned college
cafeteria.
Among the distinguished guests
were Lt. Governor and Mrs. Geo
rge T. Smith. The Lt. Governor
had spoken at the morning wor
ship of the Porterdale Baptist
Church. He and Mrs. Smith
were guests of the college for
lunch.

versity opens its summer quar
ter with registration on June
