CLOSING REMARKS OF DR. HOLLIS GODFREY I said to-day that I hoped that every college Convocation, that every college meet- ing, would be made a. meeting which would breathe the spirit of democracy and make clear the purposes of our war. I would like to feel that in every assembly gathered to- gether for serious thought, for a council of duty, there goes a. grea.t flood of belief, of new and strengthened belief. I look back a quarter of a century to that meeting in The Drexel Institute when the Institute was founded, and when there began that passing out of trained men and women, when a great band of wise and great men and women gathered together at that time, and I see through those twenty-five years the influence coming down through the city, out of the city into the state and into the nation. And standing here to-night, honored as we are by our illustrious guests, believing as we do, all of us, in our own society of scholars, in our own state, I believe there is around a cloud of witnesses. I believe that from this marking point will eolne a great, newer increase of power, a liner life and a greater belief in these ideals for which the nation stands, a11d for which we in our part stand too. And so, in recognition of the founder, of all that Mr. Drexel made possible, in recognition ot' all those who have done so much to carry out his vision in the past, and in appreciation of those who helped to do it, I call this meeting not only a convocation, but a commoncement-a. commencement of the next' quar- ter of a century, and with that word I declare this Convocation closed. 29

1'lg'l1lZCOllSIl0SS be established or shall the world be ehaotie? Shall liberty be extended so that the smallest people, as well as the greatest shall have a chance to live as they believe they have a 1'lf. ,'llt to live, to obey the law that they believe has been Set before them from a divine source, and to realize their manhood in the way that by nature they feel they ought to realize it. That is the question that confronts us, and now, through the dis- cipline of our history, we two are coming together again to give a counnon answer. And it is right that we should eonie together, because our past has so much in eonnnon by reason of the discipline through which have gone because of what our fathers have strug- gled for, because we believe, as your President has said, that Htl0lll00l'2H'j' must bc made safe in the earth. l 28
