We need only to catch the vision that inspired the fathers of this great Republic who sought to establish a nation whose free institutions would be an example to all. The task is still unfinished. Their vision is yet unfilled We need the help of American youth today in blazing new trails to insure to all people, religious freedom, political freedom and equality of economic opportunity. success.
