alffazl, NLM Maxim! EDUCATION FOR LIFE. WHAT A CHANCE! Some years are special. The year l945-l 946 will forever hold a special significance in the pattern of man's progress from the savage to perfection. For the year i945 marked the beginning of the Atomic Age. lt was the year in which peace came to a war-weary world. lt was the year in which youth could again look for- ward to peace and education rather than to death and to destruction. Opportunities, yes! But responsibilities, also. It is our respon- sibility as the youth of today to look for- Page 4 ward to those difficulties and to face the responsibilities of tomorrow. Let us take as our guide in these trying times the last paragraph of Lincoln's Second Inaugural address: With malice toward noneg with charity For allg with firmness in the right, as Cod gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are ing to bind up the na- tion's woundsg to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan--to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among our- selves, and with all nations.
