Dr. Harry Emerson Foadlck, pastor of the First Prebyttrlan Church of New York, cam to the commencement exercises at the University of Michigan today to enunciate a call to the universities of America to turn out generations of young men and women "who will live above the average and ahead of th time" and will not "bow down before the goneral average and the majority vote."

Fosdick declared that "th idea that th voice of the people is th voice of God is largely nonnae." 'The fact Is," be eserted, "that in any realm where Judgment calls for spiritual and intellectual fineness only minority who are above the aver-ace are ever right.
