PRESIDENT’S GREETING I'lll OI . who arc receiving diplomas from Temple I’niversity, are being graduated in a year of distinction, the centennial year of Russell II. Con well's birth. Dr. Con well was a soldier whose greatest victories were won in the paths of peace. That has a peculiar significance for you. You too, all of you, are going out of your I ni versify as soldiers. This is a struggle that exempts, in actuality, no one. You will bear weapons of war, you will wield implements of skill, you will munition those on the battle lines, you will feed those on the assembly lines, you will care for victims of invasion, you will work long after weariness has overtaken you, you will continue to give when there is little left to give. Thus will peace be achieved. It will cost dearly, but the bill will be paid and gladly. Then will you, like I)r. Conwell, be ready to begin vour greater service to America. This service will be compounded of an unforgettable experience and a scholarly training. Home from the wars, you will find awaiting you a brave new world of vast needs and rich potentialities. Old forms, old patterns, old methods will no longer solve its problems. There will be new wine, and it must lie poured into new bottles. This will be the challenge of the peace, a challenge to stir brave hearts and keen minds. It will be similar to. yet greater than, the one that my own generation facet! twenty-five years ago. Rut you must do better than did we. I am confident that you will. 20
