Vdemz Wwe Pawn Ideas have power. How odd it is that the power of an idea is being demonstrated at the moment by Russian materialists who deny that ideas do any more than ref flect the economic situation. In this I Hnd a challenge for an Augustana which is looking to a future of splendid strength, magnificent new buildings and confident action. Will We not do well to ask wherein true power lies? Many years ago a wise man said that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. But may not more knowledge be more dangerous still? The modern college may be threatened by the peril of great learning. The student manipulates ideas as a child plays with its toys. We tend to forget that truth is soulfimpelling. As a sen' sualist may treat love as a thing, a plaything rather than a relation between persons, so too in our cult of truth for truth's sake we may wrongly treat ideas as things rather than as personal responses to reality. That ideas call for moral judgment and moral stamina has been part of the traditional faith of our college. Its art, science, and religion have not been merely impressionistic, casual, contemplative. Therefore in a great period of transition and swift growth I would write this watchword, that we must not mistake our task for analytical fermentation but instead for spiritual implementation. Ideas, yes even wrong ideas, have power. Then how tragic it would be if we were to find truth, the right ideas, and then to imprison them in ivory towers. Truth is a moral responsibility, and college should be a school for life. GEORGE B. ARBAUGH
