GEORGE HIGGIXBOTTOM, Princifal You have witnessed and, to some extent, participated in the greatest industrial accomplishments achieved by this country in the history of the world. While our productive capacity has had a scintillating influence on the world, the technological advancement has had and will continue to have a more preponderant effect on the shaping of the world of tomorrow. The sanguinary results, the almost unbelievable and unpredictable devastation resulting from the use of the atomic bomb, should provide the motivation for your generation to solve world problems in a more peaceable manner. Though factors which precipitated the world into the most recent conflict are in a sense confusing, it is evident that my generation did not have foresight, the initiative, and in some cases, the interest to work jointly in the amicable solution of the many vital issues involving the peace of the world. You will need to scrutinize very carefully the errors of the past, examine minutely the experience of the present, in order to presene the culture and heritage of our country, as well as to share actively in the international responsibilities for a peaceful world in which to live for generations to come. To meet this challenge, you will require all available resources, the undivided interests and energetic participation of everyone, and above all, the spiritual guidance, religious understanding, and everlasting faith of Christianity. 6 GEORGE HIGGIXBOTTOM
