FOREWORD LOOKING BACKWARD — AND FORWARD 1961 marks the 100th Anniversary of the Civil War, or War Between the States, as some seem to prefer to call it. There are two ways in which this gigantic struggle may be viewed from the perspective of 1961. We may simply look backward and take sides, as our fore- fathers took sides, and thus become immersed again in the bitterness and hatred of sectional issues which should divide us no longer. We may make every effort not only to hold open the sores of dead issues but to pour salt in those sores. Unfortunately today there remain a few who wish to do this — a few who would question the political, social, and economic unity of the nation — a few who fail to recognize the fact that this is 1961 rather than 1861 and that the issues which engaged our forefathers in 1861 are no longer the issues of 1961. There are a few who would rattle the bones of this dead past, but there is no meat on the skeleton. On the other hand, we can remember this struggle with thanksgiving that we survived as a united nation. How tragic it would be today if we stood before the dangers of 1961 as two nations instead of one. In this small world of 1961, when any point on our globe can be reached from any other point more quickly than one could cross the State of Louisiana in 1861, we find the major issues of 100 years ago entirely out of place. Jesus once said, ... let the dead bury their own dead. It is not bad advice for us today. We can admire the devotion and courage of our forefathers on both sides of that great conflict of the past century; but this is a new day and new issues face us. Let the sores of the past be buried. Dr. Joe J. Mickle, President of the College
