Mrs. Evelyn Evans, Secretary They Protect the Institutions of M otivated by hatred of abject ignorance, they direct a course through the vast collections of knowledge. They cannot endow their stu- dents with everything they need to know, but they can prepare them with the processes of comprehension, expression, and measure- ment necessary to educate themselves. Oc- casionally, their stimulus will precipitate the career of a brilliant scientist or author. More often, their suggestions and challenges will provoke curiosity and investigation, and their efforts will contribute to the development of a creative, purposeful individual. To the young, they provide the guidance of experience and accumulated wisdom; to the troubled, they offer the sympathy and under- standing of a fellow human being; to the inquiring, they exemplify the dignity of thought and learning. They are the educators, the administrators, the teachers of America and of the world.

They oppose any influences that might deprecate or nullify or corrupt or ridicule their obligations.
