1 A- .,,,.ag.p 1 T H E G A z E T T E XX mae,-Seri ' T 's QXQQST ff After Commencement -What Next? The month of June, 19341, thousands of youths will step out through the doors of our schools and colleges, wise beyond their years with a painful wisdom, and they will say with a bitterness that does not belong to youth: Commencement-now what ? Some of us are leaving high school and college with no prospect of anything to do. VVe have to face what nvo' other June classes have encountered before. Go where we will, or stay where wc arc, we are a part of it. Vile march, not into the peaceful and secure pursuits into which our fathers marchedg we march into war, not a tangible, physical warfare where the enemy may be seen and heardg not a war for freedom or independenceg but a more terrible and a more worthy war-a war to save life, not to destroy it. But war, nevertheless. The future belongs to us and whatever good colncs must come from us. To realize that good and bring it to pass we face an unprecedented labor. Probably we will be hungry, perhaps we will lack clothing and shelter, and what of it? Poverty can never harm us, but wealth can. Being hungry will be a newness that will knock us sensible and will be stimulating in the long run. vvllllt we have to do, that has never been done, is to get to the bottom of our pres- cnt conditions. It can be done and we are expected to do it. We know that Democracy like Science must work for a cure after the ailment is found and diagnosed. It is they Great Adventure of the modern world, the toughest break youth ever faced. And it takes more courage and ingenuity, more grit than was ever before exacted of any gen- eration of young worldlings. Couldn't we bring to the notice of this country, and thereby all of the world, that economies without ethics is a stupid farce? Couldn't we, during the next fifty years restore decency, common-sense and moderate intelligence to the American scene? YVc can and We must ! It is going to take a hundred thousand of us to achieve this glorious adventure, but ten of us can start it, yes, even one. It is prouder than discovering a new land, and far more challenging. W'e must work togetherg not in a smug, academic professional con- ference, but eagerly, with high hearts ardent for the good and glorious life that is entirely possible. This is our future. There are among us young rebels, and young poets, and young prophets. VVC must regard them, for they are honorable, and the world agonizes today because it has not listened to them in the past. VVe must start our work. No one can tell us how. We must work it out for ourselves. It is a challenge that should whip our blood and brain to the capacity of our endurance. The world is ours. llVe must take it. And let nothing or no one deter us from our inevitable course and purpose. A. ltlnvsn. Page Eight
