On Monday, June 18, the 100 grad- u a res of Cortland State Teachers Col­ lege of the Class of 1945 filed into the auditorium of the College to the music of the Processional, preceded by mem­ bers of the faculty. The Commence­ ment Address was delivered by Dr. Dwavne Orton, education director of International Business Machines, who was introduced by Dr. Smith as "teach­ er, educator, college president, pub­ lic lecturer, and Civil Aeronautics adviser." Dr. Orton spoke on "The Educator-Statesman and the General W elfare." He first paid tribute to the 1 eacherS Colleges of New York State and their influence in the preparation of young men and women for their profession.
