THE INDIAN Page 8 First Section 1941 WE MUST KEEP AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE CLEAR Young People Today Find That They Are The Preservers Of Democracy As you and I go about our tasks each day, we realize that rapid changes are tak- ing place in our American way of life. Few of us fully appre- ciate, however, the blessings PRESIDENT V. C. KAYS which we in this free country enjoy. It is difficult for us to interpret and evaluate the constantly changing relation- ships in the worl today. During the few years of our association together in college, we have tried to inculcate the ideals of democracy which will prepare us to appraise the passing movements of hu- manity and to protect our American institutions against the abuses of forces and mis- directed authority. Faith in the integrity and the strength of the individual will through unity of high jurpose furnish the necessary defenses for our democratic way of life. May we all do our part in the protection of democracy and the defense of our coun- try in this time of trial through level-headed think- ing and constructive action to the end that the worthwhile values of our democratic pro- cesses may be perpetuated. May you be happy and suc- cessful as you proceed with life ' s tasks and responsibil- ities. ll.C.1
