iii the grziduate goes. For loyalty to the School means fidelity to the principles for which it stands and a beliel' in the objectives toward which it is striving. If there be a conviction among graduates of the School that its objectives are sound, then their allegiance will express itself as a powerful and constructive force for good, rather than exist as a merely passive sentiment. By virtue of the same fact, this School loyalty becomes an exacting requirement, demanding, even at a sacrifice, adherence to and the promotion of those objec- tives for which the School stands. And-let there be no mistake about it-the School does stand for one very definite ideal. That ideal is not simply financial success in business, although such an achievement is an integral part of the Whole. Nor is it correct to say that a sense of social responsi- bility, alert and active citizenship, appreciation of scholarly achieve- ments, and a deep sense of religious values are underlying funda- mentals Which the School must take for granted and upon which it is to superimpose the training which makes for business success. Far from it. All these characteristics are united in varying degrees in the same person. If this institution stresses those qualities which make for business success, it does so not because it lacks apprecia- tion of the other basic values, but because of obvious limitations of quite a different sort. The real task of the School is to make its graduates men in Whom business training is an integral part of the essential qualities of a Well-educated man. This is the ideal of the School and it is to this ideal that its graduates are loyal. It is Well that it should be so. In the Words of Josiah Royce: Be loyal, grow in loyalty . . . therein lies the solution of the problems of the philosophy of lifef, Howard Thompson Lewis
