Speaking at the third term Honors Convocation in the Mon mouth College auditorium, Dr, McCoy said that a college education should develop the desire for continuing self-learning, an open- mindedness, an awareness of goals and methods, creativity and a sense of involvement in public affairs. The Fresno, native, who has been associated with the Danforth Foundation since 1956, told the Monmouth students and faculty that the mania for grades substitutes "symbols for substance" and does a "disservice to education." The mark of an educated person, Dr.

McCoy said, is not their ability to "disgorge encyclopedic information" or parrot what authorities have written on a particular subject, but to have developed a system of values and the power of analysis and creativity. Concluding his speech titled, "On Being Liberated," Dr. McCoy warned that the college graduate of today must be aware of the world about him if he is to protect the freedom to pursue the truth. He cited the example of pre-war Germany, which he said "had more professors per square mile than any other nation," but let the Nazi regime come into power. "If you think this can't happen here, look at Oppenheimer and McCarthy," he warned.

Awards Presented Dr. Robert W. Gibson, college president, officiated at the cere-; monies and presented special prizes and awards. James Ritscher of Oak Lawn, received an award for top scores in general chemistry and Harold Marsh of Waverly, and Robert Minteer of Aledo, rece'rved awards for honors in first-year physics.
