ER FORGOT WHAT IT COULD DO"

Good evening. ank you for inviting

me. It is a privilege to be here this evening, and it is a very great pleasure to be back to a place I called home for ve years. at was a very long time ago,

35 years almost to the day. I can only

hope I return here not as the proverbial

Prodigal son, and that I will have the

opportunity to return more oen.

I wonder: does our canteen still make

that incredible curry rice and that bizarre red jelly with cream? Perhaps next time.

Back in those days we didn"t have

a commerce stream in St Xavier"s. ey were talking about it, but it was still some distance away. Of the eight subjects you have, and you"ve graduated in one or more of these, I had courses in four. I wanted to do them all, but things were more rigidly conned in those days.

We have not much time, so about my

years in Xavier"s I"ll only say this: what

Xavier"s gave me, and I do believe this

is the most invaluable instruction of all, was the condence and skills to teach myself. at means being unafraid of not knowing, of ignorance, and of committing yourself to being a lifelong student. It"s certainly true in my chosen profession, but I think it"s just as true everywhere, whatever you choose to do and wherever life takes you. Your marks and exam results will soon become meaningless. What will survive, and what you will carry with you, is justquotesdbs_dbs26.pdfusesText_32
