Glory to thy name! tfryILHES U *i L/ Pageg �Job 28: 12- 28 Michael Lewis, Witkes '08 Mechanica[ Engineering "But where can wisdom be found? Where does understanding dwetl? Man does not comprehend its worth; it cannot be found in the land of the tiving. The deep says, 'lt is not in me'; the sea says, 'lt is not with me.' lt cannot be bought with the finest gold, nor can its price be weighed in silver. lt cannot be bought with the gotd of ophir, with precious onyx or sapphires. Neither gotd nor crystal can compare with it, nor can it be had for jewels of gotd. Coral and jasper are not worthy of mention; the price of wisdom is beyond iubies. The topaz of Cush cannot compare with it; it cannot be bought with pure gotd. Where then does wisdom come from? Where does understanding dwett? lt is hidden from the eyes of every tiving thing, concealed even from the birds of the air. Destruction and Death say, 'Only a rumor of it has reached our ears.' God understands the way to it and he alone knows where it dwetls, for he views the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens. When he estabtished the force of the wind and measured out the waters, when he made a decree for the rain and a path for the thunderstorm, then he looked at wisdom and appraised it; he confirmed it and tested it. And he said to man, 'The fear of the Lord-that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding.' " Page 4 �Romans 11:33- 12:2 Andrew Curry, Witkes '08, MechanicaI Engineering Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowtedge of God! How unsearchabte his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?" "Who has ever given to God, that God shoutd repay him?" For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever! I urge you therefore, by the mercies of God, to offer yourselves as a living sacrifice, hoty and pleasing to God, your spiritual worship. Do not conform yoursetves to this age but be transformed by the renewa[ of your mind, that you may discern what is the witt of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect. Solving Human Problems Through Transforming Human Attitudes By His Hotiness, the 14th Datai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso Kaittin Taber-Mitter, Witkes '08, Musical Theater Of the many problems we face today, some are naturat catamities and must be accepted and faced with equanimity. Others, however, are of our own making, created by misunderstanding, and can be corrected. One such type arises from the conflict of ideotogies, potitical or retigious, when peopte fight each other for petty ends, losing sight of the basic humanity that binds us att together as a single human family. We must remember that the different retigions, ideotogies, and potiticat systems of the world are meant for human beings to achieve happiness. We must not lose sight of this fundamental goat and at no time should we place means above ends; the supremacy of humanity over matter and ideotogy must atways be maintained. f-."s* �Qur'an 2:268-9; 3:66; 4:1 13; 1 6:125 Liti Dibai, Witkes'09 Education and Spanish ... God is infinite, atl-knowing, granting wisdom unto whom He witts: and whoever is granted wisdom has indeed been granted weatth abundant. But none bears this in mind save those who are endowed with insight. Verily, you are those who have disputed about that of which you have knowledge. Why do you then dispute concerning that which you have no knowtedge? lt is Attah Who knows, and you know not. And but for God's favor upon thee and His grace, some of those [who are fatse to themsetves] woutd indeed endeavor to lead thee astray; yet none but themsetves do they tead astray. Nor can they harm thee in any way, since God has bestowed upon thee from on high this divine writ and [given thee] wisdom, and has imparted unto thee the knowledge of what thou didst not know. And God's favor upon thee is tremendous indeed. Ca[[ unto the way of thy Lord with wisdom and fair exhortation, and reason with them in the better way.

Don't look back-forward, infinite energy, infinite enthusiasm, infinite daring, and infinite patience-then alone can great deeds be accomptished. This is the first lesson to learn: be determined not to curse anything outside, not to lay the btame upon anyone outside, but stand up, lay the btame on yoursetf. You witl find that is atways true. Get hotd of yourself . Tett the truth botdty, whether it hurts or not. Never resort to weakness. lf truth is too much for intetligent people and sweeps them away, let them go; the sooner the better. This tife is a hard fact; work your way through it botdty, though it may be adamantine; no matter, the soul is stronger. This I have seen in life-those who are overcautious about themsetves fatl into dangers at every step; those who are afraid of losing honor and respect, get only disgrace; and those who are atways afraid of [oss, atways lose. "Face the brutes." That is a lesson for atl life-face the terrible, botdty. Those who work at a thing heart and soul not only achieve success in it but through their absorption in that they also reatize the supreme truth-Brahman. Those who work at a thing with their whote heart receive face it help from God. What the wortd wants is character. The wortd is in need of those whose life is one burning [ove, setftess. That love wi[[ make every word tett tike a thunderbott. We have to go back to phitosophy to treat things as they are. We are suffering from our own karma. lt is not the fautt of God. What we do is our own fautt, nothing else. Why shoutd God be btamed? Fitt the brain with high thoughts, highest ideals, place them day and night before you, and out of that witt come great work. Knowtedge can only be got in one way, the way of experience; there is no other way to know. �Stand up, be botd, be strong. Take the whole responsibitity on your own shoutders, and know that you are the creator of your own destiny. Att the strength and succor you want is within yourselves. Therefore, make your own future. Don't Quit Metissa Jones, Witkes '09, Biotogy When things go wrong, as they sometimes wi[t, when the road you're trudging seems atl uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest, if you must, but do not quit. Often the goal is nearer than, It seems to a faint and fattering man, Often the struggler has given up, When he might have captured the victor's cup, And he learned too [ate when the night stipped down, How close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside outThe sitver tint of the ctouds of doubt, And you never can tetl how ctose you are, It may be near when it seems so far, So stick to the fight when you're hardest hitIt's when things seem worst that you must not quit. P,ege 5 �Romans 12:1-12 Amanda Karaffa, Witkes '09, Chemistry & Education Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and hoty sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the witt of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highty of himsetf than think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has attotted to each a measure of faith. For just as we have many members in he ought to one body and atl the members do not have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individualty members one of another. Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingty: if prophecy, according to the proportion of his faith; if service, in his serving; or he who teaches, in his teaching; or he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who gives, with tiberatity; he who leads, with ditigence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness. Let love be without hypocrisy Abhor what is evil; cting to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly tove; give preference to one another in honor; not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, persevering tribulation, and devoted to prayer. in �Bacca lau reate Address : Rev.

Degree in absentia �The University Mace and Presidential Chain of Office The mace and the presidential chain oJ office used in academic celebrations represent traditions dating to the srxteenth century. The mace symbolizes the authoity of the uni- tersig and the chain of ofJrce designates the presidentialleadership of the academy. The Wilhes Unitersity mace and presidential chain oJ offtce were giJts oJ local donors and were Jirst used in 1970 at the inauguration of the second president oJ Wilhes. They were designed by Ottie Hill Chwaleh '61 and executed by l{urt Matzdorf , a nationally recognized gold and silversmith Jrom the State untuersity of New Yorh at New Paltz. TheUniversity Mace The sterling silver mace has a gllthnob at its base and a gllt circle at the top beaing the inscnption "Wilhes College 1933." The bowl, nsing above the neck oJ the mace, signi-Wilkes-Barre's t'ies role as a melting pot, t'orming a new and vigorous community of people from many different bachgrounds. This theme is reiterated in the inscrtption of the Unittersity's motto "Unity Amidst Diversig" which surrounds the upper part of the bowl. The glltflame symbolizes the enlightenment gainedfromhigher education, while the piece of anthracite coal set in the center of the flame commemorates the ongin of the IJniversity in a community hnownJor its coal miningpast. The Presidential Chain of Office The Presidential Chain oJ OfJice, created Jrom sterling silver, has alternatingbowls and gltJlames, repeatingthe motif oJ t'he mace. On the front oJ the Jour-foot chainhangs a $lt seal of Wlheswhichis suspendedt'rom a cluster of oahleayes with acorns, sugesting the strength and sturdiness of Juture generations. On thebach oJ the Presidential Chain oJ OfJice is a silver portrait of Dr. Eugene S. Farley, the Jirst President oJ Wilhes. Dr. Farley\ portraitis surroundedby gilt oahleayes commemoratinghis strongleadership of the emerginginstitution. I �AMERICA, THE BEIIUTIFUL O beauttful for spacious shies, for amber waves oJ grain, For purple mountain majesties above the fruited plain. Amenca! Amenca! God shedhis grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood Jrom sea to shining sea. O beautiful for patiit's dream that sees beyond the y ears, Thine alabaster cities gleam, undimmedby human tears. America! America!
