Universily Oi Pilrinsylvariia I+ has been my privilege recenlly lo read a large number of replies lo queslionnaires Senl oul lo young men in lhe armed service. These replies seemed lo Tall in 'rwo groups. One group conlained lhe replies of +hose boys who had deiinile plans in mind ior The lulure and were anxious lo gel The war over so lhey could come home and carry Them oul. They were enlhusiaslic, eager, and hopeful. Those in The olher group apparenlly could see no larfher Than The immediafe slruggle in which fhey were engaged. They were uncerfain, undecided, and baffled. We need now more Than ever lo have a deiinile goal, a fixed plan foward which we may direcl our eliorls, so fhal above and beyond 'rhe roar of arlillery and lhe whine ol shrapnel or The hum of Taclory machines we may Teel lhe slrong pull of our life-purpose. ll' we have such a purpose il will serve as a guide fhrough lhese Troubled limes much as The slars in The heavens guided The mariners of old in lheir course ai sea.
