AK v PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE UPPER LEVELS THERE is no better evidence of America ' s idealism, of her faith in democracy and her belief that humanity can make conscious and continuous progress than her more than four-score of publicly supported colleges and universities. Many of these institutions are supported jointly by State and Nation. Our University is most fortunate to be one of those receiving this joint support. Ready as Nevada ' s people have always been to support, even at great sacrifice, every means of education, it is very doubtful if our University would yet have come into being without the generous national proifer of university land grants and of substantial annual aids. Very certain it is that, even if started, Nevada ' s university, without Federal aid, would have had a most meager existence and would have been so handicapped as to be utterly unable to function as the real University it is. Clear evidence of the truth of this statement is the fact that, even in these latter days of Nevada ' s increased wealth and population, Federal annual aids to the University total in value appreciably more than one-half as much as its income from the State. Every student of our University, then, is a clear debtor for his university oppor- tunity both to the State and to the Nation. There is but one way to pay these debts. Each student must, during his years on this campus, strive earnestly to develop into a useful citizen of state and nation, into a broad-guage Nevadan and American, who is both able and eager to do his part to make his State and his Nation still greater in the service of mankind than they have been. To this end, every campus activity, every student organization, should be kept on the higher levels. Through such upper level activities in art and in science, in unselfishness and in service, in loyalty to hiffh ideals and in sacrifice for great ends and through such upper level activities alone, has every real advance been made in the long and rising history of the race. If, therefore, our campus is to make real progress, if our individual students are to grow most in mind, in character and in craftsmanship strengths, each student and each campus organization must deliberately and always make the higher level choices. Campus customs and traditions must satisfy upper level tests. In so far as they may be on lower levels of ugliness, of vulgarity or of brutality, traditions should be altered or annulled. Only those traditions should abide which radiate friendliness and service, which respect fully both the laws of State and of Nation and the rights of all persons to their own self-respect and to complete freedom from interference or dictation by others so long as they have due regard for the like rights of others. When every campus activity and every campus custom has been tested and trued to upper level alignment, then will the student body have proved itself collegiate in true sense, then will individual students make steady and rapid growth toward the full stature of achieving Americans and then will both State and Nation have full reason to be glad that they have been and are jointly maintaining this University.
