The Rev. Dr. Robert H. Schuller ’47 challenged the members of the 1992 Hope College graduating class to move from the success that led them to their diplomas to making a difference in a troubled world. Hope presented bachelor’s degrees to 570 graduating seniors on Sunday, May 3, during its 127th Commencement, held in Holland Municipal Stadium with more than 4,000 family members and friends attending. Parents from throughout the United States and as far away as China and India were present. Dr. Schuller, founding pastor of the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, Calif., gave the Commencement address upon the invitationof the Senior Class. In addition, his wife Arvella received a doctorate of humane letters. “You know how to succeed, but do you know how to be significant — how to make a difference in your world?,” he asked the graduates. “It pains me to tell you that from my perspective there is at the bottom of every professional ladder a huge crowd of people — well-educated, well-credentialed, well-trained, well-bred, but they’re at the bottom.”

“Success alone is very empty. Very empty,” he said.

“Success alone is very empty.. .It’s not until you move up from success to significance that your heart really feels great.” — Dr. Robert H. Schuller ’47
