Uur nnap a l M essaae sacji Every generation has tts problems, but those which face the youth of this generation must seem to some of them, at least, to be far more perplexing than any which confronted their elders. The reason is that the problems of today constitute a challenge, not only to ambition and endurance, but to the very fiber of the soul. The two vital problems which confront young Americans today are those of making a career for themselves and preserving the cherished liberties of the country. Frank.ly. the prospects of earning a living do not seem to be as bright just now as they were several decades ago when international rela- tions were friendlier, when the flow of commerce was freer, and productivity was on the upward swing. Further- more, for the first time in centuries, a conflict in political doctrine has broken out in which human rights, human liberty, and human dignity are seriously being threatened. It IS expected that the younger generation, however, will steel itself and go forward fully determined to make life, liberty, and happiness more abundant for all. These are the cherished fruits which the fathers have won through strife and struggle and which youth is expected to preserve for all time. Up to the present you have observed the operation of human ideals largely in historical and imaginary situations. From now on, however, you will be expected to put these ideals into operation in real, concrete situations. It is my hope that your courage will never allow you to falter in the application of the principles of right, justice, mercy, and kindness in all your dealings with human beings at all times and in all places.
