The mind that is unfree, the mind that is possessed, the mind that is prejudiced, the mind that is indoctrinated or forced does not learn. It copies. Discovery is the true essence of learn- ing. The free mind travels while the unfree simply looks at the maps. The unfree mind locks the doors, bars the shutters and stays at home . . . It is swindled, disillusioned, exploited. It is the stuff that tyranny is made of. It wrote no Dec- laration of Independence. It built no universities. It had no visions of the great possibilities inherent in the individual. Individual freedom to think and express oneself is no luxury in which we can indulge. It is a necessity — it is the life blood of a free, democratic society. Yet if we are to enjoy this freedom, we must accept the responsibilities that go with it. We must recognize and respect the rights and dignity of every other individual. We must recognize and respect the rights of the society of which we are a part. We must have inquiring, resilient minds. We must try to see the world of freedom not only as we see it but as others view it. We must always be students. We must strive to see that the historian will never say of our society and nation that which he said about Carthage: A pleasant place, Carthage, no doubt, for business enterprise; a place where young men were taught to get on, and extravagance kept pace with shrewd finance. A self satisfied place, self- confident, money getting, women loving people, honoring success and hugging their fancied security while in far off Rome Cato pronounces their doom. Archibald MeLeish wrote: Ours is a strange time in America. We do not know for what we wait — Gale in the elm tops or the dear Sun ' s rising on a gentle day — Evil or good. We cannot say, Only that the time draws nearer. Those who wait for time to take them Find within fulfilling time Not what they hoped but what they feared. The bold go toward their time, They make Its meaning answer to the mind. The secret of happiness is freedom, and the secret of freedom, courage. Thucydides. 10
