Ever since I read Radhakrishnan's translation of the `Principal
Upanishads,' one of his comments has stuck to my mind.  There is
a passage in the Taittiriya Upanishad, which is an address by
the Teacher to his students as they left the Gurukula, beginning
with `satyam vada, dharma.n chara......' Radhakrishnan noted
that this is a convocation address by the Vice-Chancellor
that is still observed at the Banaras Hindu University.
(At one time he was its President, and I don't know if in his
modesty he did not say whether he introduced the practice.)
This could be one of our pages to memorize.

Wherever I have been asked to say a few words at a graduation
party, I have used this to keep my speech short !!
