In his ceremony speech, President Ochi congratulated the graduates, ¡°When faced with a difficult and unprecedented challenge that does not seem to have immediate ¡®solutions or answers,¡¯ it is the ability to think by yourself, and your knowledge of Liberal Arts to open a new avenue, which are required. Such knowledge is also essential for you to enhance your attractiveness as a person. I sincerely hope that all of you will devote your lives to cultivating your knowledge of the Liberal Arts.¡±
