Will you remember that everything remains yet to be done-right, everything and that each one of you has a share in helping to make things right? Giving allegiance only to that which you know to be just, building into your lives a phil- osophy of concern for all-not alone for yourselves --having ideas and ideals worth living for, will you not try to make the world a better place in which to be?
