"I hope during your years here
you have also developed the capac-
ity to see, to feel and to give," he said.
Bradley stressed seeing beyond
dichotomies such as liberals and
conservatives and black and white.
"In fact, if we want to have any
sort of meaningful, productive con-
versation about our American con-
dition, we're going to have to dis-
card much of the tired old language
we've been using to describe this
nation's problems and opportuni-
ties," he said.
"Never in our history has a new
vision begun in Washington ... What
we fail to see in our partisan battles
is that thegovernment is not enough
to make a civilization."
His central metaphor was a three-
legged stool, where government and
the market were the first two legs.
"Without the third leg of civil so-
ciety, the stool is not stable and can-
not provide support for a vital
America. Civil society is the sphere
of our most basic humanity," he said.
Bradley said that many in today's
society are refusing to join commu-
nity activities. He cited decreasing
involvement in Parent-Teacher As-
sociations and other civic organiza-
tions.
Like Elizabeth Dole at last year's
ceremony, Bradley commended the
efforts of the Rice Student Volunteer
Program for being "barn-raisers"
rather than "barn-burners." He cited
the over 10,000 hours that RSVP
members volunteer annually.
"In a vibrant civil society, real
leadership at the top is made pos-
sible by the understanding and evo-
lution of leaders and awareness in
action such as those right here in
the Rice Student Volunteer Program
and throughout Texas in the Alli-
ance School movement," he said.
Bradley concluded by challeng-
ing the graduates to "take this ex-
traordinary education that your time
at Rice has given you ... to give to
your own future families as your
families have given to you and give
to your community so that your chil-
dren will realize the promise offered
by this great country."
'Tomorrow you'11 decide whether
you'll assume your share of the re-
sponsibility. 1 hope you do. Tomor-
row you will take your place on that
road, and I wish you all the best," he
said.
After Bradley's speech, the de-
grees were conferred, and the names
of the graduates were read.
The ceremony proceeded
smoothly, except for one incident
where the diplomas for Jones Col-
lege were discovered to be in the
wrong order after Jones Master David
Minter started reading the names.
Lovett College graduates received
their diplomas while the problem was
corrected.
After the singing of the song
"America," Gillis acknowledged the
retirement of four Rice professors:
Alan Chapman, John Meixner,
Ronald Stebbings and John Stormer.
Chapman is retiring after teaching
for 49 years.
Havens gave the benediction. She
said that God is light, grace, wisdom,
kindness, unity and "all of our life."
"Under God's gracious mercy and
protection, we commit you. God bless
you and keep you. May God's face

shine upon you and be gracious to
you. May God's countenance rest
upon you and give you peace," she
said.
"May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your
face. May the rain fall softly upon
your heals. Until we meet again, may
you be held in the hollow of God's
hand," Havens said.
Last year, the faculty exited
through the Sallyport followed by
the graduates. At the request of stu-
dents, this year's graduates exited
through the Sallyport ahead of the
faculty. The change was announced
at the May 12 faculty meeting.
The Class of 1995 passed beneath
Lovett Hall, marching onward from
the academic quad, in Bradley's
words, "to learn, to see, to feel and to
give."
