Dr. Dendy, in his commence
ment address on “Breaking
Through the Barriers of Tomor
row.” pointed out four barriers
for the outgoing seniors to’ over
come:
1— Barrier of satisfaction—of
accepting the status quo and be
ing satisfied with today. He urg
ed his audience to question and
challenge the methods and prin
ciples of the present.
2— Barrier of the closed mind,
the belief that truth can be re
stricted. "We are made to be dy
namic, not static,” he said. “Go
out ancj search for truth.”
3— Barrier between man and
man—“It is not right to have the
barrier of an iron curtain, of sec-
Dr. Dendy Said. . <
tionalism or of racial prejudice,”
*—Barrier between man and
God—a barrier which, fortunate
ly, Christ has already broken if
we will but accept.
