THE Commencement Address for the College's 196th graduation ceremonies on June 13 will be delivered by Secretary of the Interior Stewart L. Udall.
Elected four times to represent' Arizona's 2d Congressional District in the U. S. House of Representatives, Secretary Udall was named to his Cabinet post in 1961 by the late President Kennedy and was reappointed by President Johnson.
The 37th Secretary of Interior, who heads a department that has jurisdiction over a quarter of the nation's land area and responsibility for conservation and development of mineral resources, fish and wildlife protection, national parks and historic sites, irrigations and hydroelectric systems, is known for his interest in conservation. His book, The QuietCrisis, was dedicated to "the proposition that men must grasp completely the relationship between human stewardship and the fullness of the American earth."
Although Secretary Udall's visit is' unrelated to the College's "Japan: Classical and Contemporary" program of the past half-dozen months, it is an interesting footnote that among the Secretary's accomplishments in office was a Cabinet economic mission to Japan, where he also made a winter ascent of Fujiyama.
