THE PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE DePHcm Opivhrsicy CHICAGO OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT 2236 SHEFFIELD AVENUE To The Graduates and Students of 1951: This past year has been marked by events which will leave a lasting impression on our minds as on the future of this country and the world. The Korean war and the ill-disguised threats to peace in other areas have of necessity aroused our country and the freedom-loving nations to a full awareness of the imminent danger to security and peace. The United States has been projected into a program for military pre-eminence which may shatter the ambitions of the Kremlin for the enslavement of all peoples. Our thinking has been diverted largely from the pursuit of constructive means for betterment of living standards at home and abroad and more and more directed to the creation of instruments for survival and destruction. Manpower is being channeled into the armed services or to war production; the economy of the free nations is geared to an almost all-out effort to withstand the surprise attack of a government which has forsaken God and discarded human rights based on natural and divine law. In the critical years ahead the important points to keep in mind are the issues involved and not the shortcomings of major or minor officials who may be conscientiously exerting their best efforts. Undergraduates and graduates of De Paul, as of all universities, must be informed as to the causes of present world-tension; must apply the wealth of their training in sound Christian principles to the solution of the problems confronting us; must assume places of leadership in steering the course of events toward the preservation of justice, freedom and love for all. Fortified by a profound faith in God and His Providence over human affairs, inspired by complete dedication to His law, and motivated by love for Him and His creatures, we of De Paul in consort with others will contribute fully to national security and international peace with justice.
