less in iTs concepTion: iT will Try To reshape The world because we are young. IT will include The dreams oT The world - basic dreams oT Tree- dom, oT love and plenTy, dreams ThaT have never died. WiTh Them we will mix our own desires, our careless, modern Tancy. The vision will be lilce an immense paTTern where each elemenT has a place. lT will be a pracTical ideal, boTh The Tool and The plan. Through iT we shall lcnow whaT The cenTuries say againsT The hours. AT Earlham, where we have wi+hdrawn wiThouT escaping The Tever oT The world, we have Touched upon The knowledge oT The world. As we organize iT, we may be given To see beyond The presenT. The de- Tail will Tade ouTg we shall Tind Timeless values, TruThs. When This de- sTrucTion is Tinished, once more They will emerge inTacT. Then, as we shall begin To use Them-Earlham may hav prepared us Tor ThaT-we will go ouT inTo The world, wiTh a clue To iTs coldness, and some inTima- Tion as To iTs warmTh.
