MR. GREGOR GEORGE V. GREGOR, Principal This year the theme of our annual, MEMORIES IN BLUE, is World Understanding ihrough Education. To make some concrete contribution in the lives of our students is unquestionably a most worthy aim of any institution of learning. Brand Whihock has said, l think if I had the power to do what I wish for humanity. I would give every person the ability to put himself into the place of every other person in the world, In this way he would have that education that culture which comes of the highest quality exemplified in the poets and saviors of the race, in that they were able to feel and suffer what others were feeling and suffering, and when we come to a time when we realize just what the other fellow is suffering we will be moved by a desire to help him ' This help must be aimed at achieving economic equality of opportunity and politi cal liberty for all groups. It is the cankers of exploitation of social groups or nations that Is the cause of most of the suf¬ ferings in the world. We need people with vision, understanding and tolerance to correct some of these evils. At present we find ourselves living in a world where a large part of the productive effort and genius of man is dedicated to the task of creating and foster¬ ing animosities to the end that we shall be mentally prepared to destroy another social or political segment as efficiently as possible. In the meantime, we sit on a powder keg of uncertainty and fear, knowing that this educational program of hate is also preparing for us a future of possible destruction. Security for all of us must lie in the direction of mutual understanding between ourselves and other groups, both at home and internationally. There can be no security for any of us, if within our own nation a Negro boy can be wantonly murdered for an al¬ leged minor offense with practical immunity from pun¬ ishment for the murderers, if cultured Negro groups presenting Lyceum programs at our school under the sponsorship of our state of university are denied lodging at hotels in our immediate vicinity, or if either capital or labor acts with utter disregard for the in¬ herent rights of society in general. There can be no security for anyone if vice, poverty, crime and ex¬ ploitation contribute to the hopeless outlook for any group. And those conditions will persist if we fail to understand other groups. To help in bringing about this understanding is one of the functions of our school. May we be able to foster in the minds and hearts of our students, un¬ derstanding and love, rather than hate and destruction to the end that these seeds contribute to a fuller and happier life for them.
