H1471 HOOL OSCAR oomalow Wmnu 34:00 mmap: June l965 Dear Friends : The inevitability of change is a social axlomg the adjustment to change is a social necessity. All we need do is look about us to see the multiple wonders that are the constant creation of man's genius. All we must do is realize how much this procession of wonders ccnanands conatant change in our ways of living, ln our patterns of thinking. Adjustment to modernization inconveniences and expectations of beneficial changes ere a current experience for us at James Monroe. The impact of renovation is so profound that it has inspired our Monrovian theme. In our local, national, and international community, the insistence for social change is so great that wisdom and statesman- ship are essential to determine when to analyze and evaluate and when to act. It is the wise statesman who can recognize justifiable demands and can lead in their successful adoption. It is the wise citizen who can discard accepted practices and accustomed judgments and acknowledge new attitudes and readjusted ideas. To favor reasoned change as a way of life is to avoid the agony of social conflict and crisis. However, we must resist change that threatens to compromise our democratic ideals and ethical principles. The inalienable rights of man venerated in the Declaration of Independence and guaranteed in our Constitution are the foundation of our society. These immutable rights and inescapable responsibilities have been the brick and mortar that have structured our great nation. To tamper with them is to under mine the spirit, the promise, and the glory that is America. Yes, change is a necessity, modernization and readjustment are the evidence of change: but ideals and principles dare not be sacrificed to change. You, as citizens, must adjust your thinking and your reactions to these fundamentals of democratic living if our nation is to con- tinue to flourish.
