DR. HEIN'S MESSAGE GraduaTion Time June I943 Dear Friends, You are The Jefferson Bi-cenfennial Class, and Therefore I cannoT give you a more appropriaTe message Than one based on The immorTal words wriTTen by Jefferson info The DeclaraTion of lndependence. When Jefferson wroTe fhaf All men are endowed by Their Creafor wiTh The inalienable righTs of life, liberfy and The pursuiT of happiness, he sTaTed for us The fundamenfal principle on which The American Way of Life is based. We are engaged in a war To preserve ThaT way of life, and our irnmediaTe concern is To win ThaT war. BuT, we musT also Thinlc beyond The war, parficularly so you young people who have a Tremendous sTal4e in The years of peace. WhaT will iT profiT you if in winning The war you lose The American Way of Life for which you are fighTing? NoTe well Jefferson's words, words ThaT all America has made iTs own. Nofe Thaf ALL MEN are endowed wiTh The inalienable righTs-noT sTaTes, or classes, or parfies, be They Communisfic, Nazi, EascisTic or Japanese-buT ALL MEN. Our governmenT has been based for I5O years on The principle of always going baclc To The people, To The ALL MEN, for a checlc-up on sTaTe policies, and aT The same Time permiffing The people, The ALL MEN, To express ThaT check-up freely, noT handicapped by ignorance, force or bribes of circus and bread. Your greaT Task in The years To come will be To malce cerfain ThaT we do noT deleTe in pracTice Jefferson's famous words: ThaT we do noT ape The ComrnunisTic, Nazi, EascisTic or Japanese Theory of The supremacy of The sTaTe or parTy or class over The individual man. Yours is The Task of preparing yourselves physically, menTally and spiriTually To fighT for The American Way of Life, be iT on The ba++lefield of war or in The public forum of peace.
