Father Hesburgh received an honorary degree from The Johns Hopkins University in 1980 and it is possible that he gave a graduation speech there in 1980, but his commencement speech is missing. The text of the 22 February 1980 Commemoration Address starts where his introduction to graduation talk is left off: with Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America. He might have used the 104th anniversary talk for the graduation speech too.
