THE REFLECTOR HE EDWQIRS SAY Romance MAGINATION paints a riotous display of people and places when we utter the word Rozzzcmccf. Against the background of history we see i pirates swarming over captured merchant ships, Columbus plunging boldly into seas unknown to wrest from fear and ignorance a new world, another continent, the Alhambra of the Moors, beautiful and mystic, shrouded by the spell that distance lends, Galileo peering into the heav- ens, learning the true meaning of infinity by means of his precious glass -the telescope. And coming down to 1931 and peering ahead into the centuries be- fore us the word Romance gains even brighter luster. We think of the romance of the test tube, the romance of huge, whirring machines, the romance of wings that carry men into the air, the romance of which the magic of Science has yet to reveal-the vast, boundless promise of the future. These are the things that make Romance not a word to be breathed on the lips, but the embodiment of all that man has ever done or will do. What Are We Szfrmding For? Perhaps it is our fear of what the rest of the crowd will say that makes us moral cowards. Perhaps . . . But perhaps we object to being called cowards-moral cowards. Very well. Let us analyse ourselves, to see whether we are. Let us ask ourselves one question-then decide. What Are We Standing For? Are we standing for the very best that is in us? Are we standing for clean thought and clean speech? Do we believe in clean minds in sound bodies? Do we travel with a clean crowd? Do we stand for clean sport? Are we keeping ourselves physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight to the best of our ability? Are we standing for the highest principles of decency in our section-rooms and classes? Are we honest with our teachers and ourselves? Do we believe that there is such a thing as honor? Are we giving to others the finest that is in us? Are we? Ask yourself. What Are You Standing For? Well, if you ind, if we all find, that we are moral cowards, let us about face abruptly, determining to stand strongly for those standards of conduct that are Clean, Lofty, Inspiring, Fine, Tremendous, Noble. Let us nail our colors to the highest masts of a character and decency without a thought of what the world will say, knowing, after all, that some day some one in all sincerity and humbleness will say, ?'He was a man!
