The concept of a life of peace as we see it is an endur- ing, lifelong pattern woven together from the following materials. A Inspiration - Leadership The Other Man's View point Competition - Friendly Rivalry Fusing the Elements of Peace Achievement - Man of Peace FOREWORD i We are not the first, God grant that we may be the last generation, that must step into a world which greed, hate and fear have mutilated beyond necognition. Men have forgotten the meaning of such words as peace and justice, they prefer not to speak of charity and cooperation. Yet in the throes of this war men look for peace. Dumbarton Oaks, Yalta, San Francisco, they all point to the eternally alive need that our natures have for peace. But even these conferences aimed at peace must fail if the individual man does not carry with him in his heart that fundamental understanding of and respect for his fellow man without which peace plans are scraps of paper, ready' prey for the next whirlwind of war. The common man and his uncommon cooperation with thenpeople on his street, in hisncity, at his office, he is the one who lives the peace, whovitalizes those pen- strokes'on parchment. And for us, common men, like our fathers and mothers be- fore us, four years here has meant ,nothing more than four years'training for a life of peace. The men who train ushave meant inspiration and leadership, our organi- zations have given us a broad understanding of the opinions and interests of othersg our sports have meant teamwork and friendly rivalry.. From the fusion of these elements,comes the man who understands and is pre- pared to live alife of peace. With the help of our God, the sweat of our brow and our fohr years training here we feel ready to transmit into daily living the formulas that will spell peace in our time. TO THE FULFILLMENT OF THESE IDEALS AS WE HAVE LEARNED AND LIVED THEM THROUGH FOUR MEMORY-PACKED YEARS, WE DEDICATE THIS
