PREAMBLE (EDITORIAL) WE are faced today with the cold realization that our United States is one of the few existing democracies of the world; a world over-run by insane dictators and every kind of -ism; a world filled with people who are told when and how to think and no more. In many of the countries of the world the word constitution has only a physical meaning, but to us Americans it means freedom and democracy in a land where every man, woman and child has equal rights and unlimited opportunities. Ours is a land where people are educated to thmk for themselves, to respeci others ' rights, to seek peace and to preserve it. Where do we get such assurances? Our constitution guarantees them, a constitution which has stood by its maxims for many years. To every student entering into the world to seek his fortune there is an obligation. Our obligation is to preserve our democracy and its backbone, the constitution that has existed through every conceiv- able crisis in the past 152 years. Our obligation is to make certain that it will always exist and to set before the world an example of success attained by education in a democracy which started with a skeleton Articles of Confederation and developed into our powerful present day Constitution. What then, could be more appropriate as the theme of our an- nual than the Constitution? We give it to you — may it ever stand foremost in our hearts as a symbol of American living.
