1' -- H - A - I ' 4 'M , 1 . , ,. A Q s ir, ' V X I , Priincipalls Letter To the Class of 1941: Two things about the situation of the Canterbury Pilgrims occur to me as apply- ing to our situation. They were a diverse lot, thrown together willy nilly, forced to manage together in the common interest. Would not the same words apply Without change to us? A forbearance, tolerance, sanity, and sense of humor are demanded of us, as perhaps never of any other people, in acting together as a unit in the common interest. Secondly, the group of pilgrims faced uncertainty ahead, uncertainty as to roads, brigands, inns. The journey would surely be arduous, probably dangerous, possibly fatal. So we too have a strong sense of unsureness of the future, of impending change. How recognizable will such stable institutions as our churches, schools, banks, government organization, factory system, agriculture, railroads, be in thirty years? We do not know, but we feel that many of them may be vastly different. In such a situation, my best advice to you is to cultivate adjustability, capacity to change, to do, act, and think differently as conditions change. Be alert. Be con- servative, but dare also to be radical. Be calm,-but not sleepy. As the years roll, look ahead eagerly, with appreciation of, but without regret for, the vanishing past. RALPH W. HASKINS
