諸位畢業同學：你們現在要離開母校了，我沒有什么禮物送你們，只好送你們一句話罷。
這一句話是：“不要拋棄學問。”以前的功課也許有一大部分是為了這張畢業文憑，不得已而做的，從今以后，你們可以依自己的心愿去自由研究了。趁現在年富力強的時候，努力做一種專門學問。少年是一去不復返的，等到精力衰時，要做學問也來不及了。即為吃飯計，學問決不會辜負人的。吃飯而不求學問，三年五年之后，你們都要被后來少年淘汰掉的。到那時再想做點學問來補救，恐怕已太晚了。
My advice is, “Never give up the pursuit of learning.” You have perhaps finished your college courses mostly for obtaining the diploma, or in other words, out of sheer necessity. However, from now on you are free to follow your own bent in the choice of studies. While you are in the prime of life, why not devote yourselves to a special field of study? Youth will soon be gone and never return. And it will be too late for you to go into scholarship in your declining years. Knowledge will do you a good turn even as a means of subsistence. If you give up studies while holding a job, you will in a couple of years have had yourselves replaced by younger people. It will then be too late to remedy the situation by picking up studies again.
