Graduation from college is a time to look back and ask oneself if what one received in the four or five years of college was really an education.

The graduation address comes from a consideration on graduation about Greeks and Goths, about the full content of a real education.

 

From the Essay:

"In the university we should be looking for what is, in fact, practically useless...the things that are useful are not the most important things."
