I The Spirit of Youth Ten years have come and gone since April 2, 1917, when overnight the sons of Indiana were men. For me the horrors of death, disease, and degradation have faded dim away, leaving only mellow memories of friendship fine, or selflessness, or courage, and of man- liness till now my hate of war is tempered with a shin- ing hope that somehow men may join together once again, one for all, and all for one, in fellowship, think- ing, working, fighting for a better day. It was good and great to be alive with you at Indiana back in ' 17. Letter of James Adams, ' 21, to W. L. B., April, 1927 II The Unchanging Law Yes! to this thought I hold with firm persistence; The last result of wisdom stamps it true; He only earns his freedom and existence, Who daily conquers them anew. Goethe, Faust, Act V, Seen III In what Jim Adams and his fellows experienced of life and death five and twenty years ago and in what he wrote of it ten years after, there was and there is the ever-living, ever-conquering Spirit of Youth. In what the aged Goethe heard Faust say in his last hour, there is the never-changing Law of Victorious Life. May that Spirit under guidance of that Law now prevail.
