Summer Commencement
Summer 1965, St. Ambrose conferred forty-seven
bachelor of arts degrees. The Commencement address
was given by Rev. Joseph E. Kokjohn, Ph.D., Vice-President of the College and Chairman of the English Department. Father pointed out that there are many clever
questions and few clever answers as one looks back and
tries to enumerate what a college education has meant.
College students have learned to weigh, to challenge, to
study, and upon graduation alternatives are offered.
Father Kokjohn also noted that in seeing justice we see
our duty to move on. This is especially true for the Summer School Commencement because of its nature and
its being. It was conceived as a system to aid and promote education as an extension of the college and for
many it provided the means of fulfilling the goal of a
college degree.
The graduating students in the summer of 1965 listen to Fr. Joseph E. Kokjohn, Ph.D. who gave the commencement address.
