EDITORS Jane Blumenthal, Walter Friedlander, Mildred Tyre, Le Vaughn Bradley. BUILDING CHARACTER BRINGS LASTING CIVILIZATION By WALTER FRIEDLANDER Building civilizations based upon magnificent palaces, huge temples, mighty water ways, extensive roads and a complicated social society, the Egyptians, the Grecians, the Romans, the Mayans, and many others, in the course of time, forgot to build character of the type that is capable of surviving through the ages, and thus they fell, only to be revealed upon the pages of history. The ancients taught, men know thyself. It must be admitted that such teaching is, after all, a self-centered philosophy. Today are we superior in this respect to the nations of old? ' Today we find ourselves members of a civilization equally as entangled and complex. We have buift skyscrapers, canals, bridges, dams, many jails, and insane asylums. Have we forgotten to build character, the missing factor that helped bring ruina- tion to Rome, Athens, Egypt and Mayan! ' In the future, let our task be to build character which is sound, firm and enduring. And as we pass from this school to another we take with us the experience and the development which our three-year stay here has taught us and for our guide we should keep before us the immortal words of Holmes ' Chambered Nautilus : Build thee more stately mansions. my soul As the sw.ft seasons rol l ' Leave thy low-vaulted past. Let each new temple, nobler than the last. Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast. Till thou at length art free. Leaving thine outgrown shell by life ' s unrested sea!
