America must be strong, must be ruthless to every agent among us both at home and abroad that would corrupt the American soul or impair the prestige of Old Glory. Such an America, prophet of univer- sal social justice among men, may lead all Nations to furl their battle flags in the Parliament of man. PAUL R. TAYLOR, Superintendent of Schools. A MESSAGE TO THE SENIORS OF 1941 This commencement season should be, for you, an occasion for rigid self-examination. It comes in the midst of one of the most critical hours in the life of our beloved Nation. The test is two-fold; your personal worth and the values of the educational process to which you have submitted yourself are alike being weighed in the balance. The supreme test for both you and your Institutions is applied as you seek answer to the following questions: 1. Do I have implicit faith in the democratic ideal? 2. Do I believe in the American dream and am I eager to help in making it come true? Unless you con answer these questions affirmatively, there has been failure; somehow, either you or your Institution has been found wanting. In the American interpretation of the democratic ideal—em- bracing. as it does, concepts of liberty, justice, equal opportunity, the sacredness of human personality, the brotherhood of man, the Father- hood of God—we hove everything known among men for which one must be willing to live or die. Your teachers believe you are the kind of Americans who will help to make reality of the most stupendous obsession—the most romantic dream—that has ever possessed the mind and heart of a vast and re- sourceful people. To such an end, you may proudly dedicate your life, your abundant energies and your sacred honor.
