Education for freedom and democracy has been the slogan of American educational ideal- ism for many years; to so treat the human mind that it could develop its potentialities and realize to the full extent the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness, the goal of that education for freedom. Whether America believed what her educators professed to sub- scribe to, was tested when America was plunged into this whirlpool of blood-shedding; but America was found not-wanting; she did keep her school bells ringing and grey-haired pro- fessors lecturing and even called back those who had retired. Education for freedom meant not an empty wish but a deep-seated convic- tion that although the war had to be won first, nevertheless the cause that made that war worth fighting was being preserved in the school-rooms of America. She further realized that unless this perpetuation of the ideals we hold dear was continued, there could be no freedom. Education for freedom means education for all and at all times. Although America has not lived up to these ideals as well as she might have, nevertheless she has always sought to bring her children up in the light of truth; she has made elementary education compul- sory and provided institutions of higher learn- ing for those who felt called to pursue the unveiling of truth a step further. Because America has so guided her children that the ideals of freedom, love and truth are meaning- ful, we have in this nation today no neurotic madmen herding man to beastly savagery. In America today we have institutions uncovering the books of life instead of human automatons shrieking as they burn the books of their fore- fathers. Because America has educated her children in peace, she can continue to do so during war. After the war. College and University trained men and women will go forth from their ivy towers , if such they were, onto the recon- struction field which their brothers have stained the red of the battlefield. The part of the college people in this birth of the new world has only begun in the halls of learning; the real responsibility will come on the field of duty. The torch of education is burning intensely tonight behind the dimmed out curtains of America ' s colleges but it will burn more gloriously as the flame of freedom light- ing the pathway to the new world of tomorrow. 7
