FGREWORD In these solemn days when. because of jealousy. greed, and the lust for power. the great nations of the earth find themselves in the bitter throes of war. there comes to our remembrance the commandment of the Creator of all men: Love thy neigh- bor as thyself '. Never before. said President Roosevelt in 1953, has the significance of 'good neighbor' been so manifest in international relations. Never have the need and benel fit of neighborly cooperation in every form of human activity been so evident as they are today. The nine years that have passed since then have served only to empha- size the importance of this statement. Toledo has proved a satisfactory experimental center for furthering the Gffffrl .Ncfiglvlmr policy. So testified Miss Mary X5Uinslow, adviser on civic projects for the office of Nelson Rockefeller when, in March, 19-42. the exhibit of Chilean art brought her to Toledo. l-ler survey of the work of the Toledo Inter-American Affairs Com- mittee. together with that of eighteen other organizations of diversified interests. will result. she promises. in a suggestive analysis to be distributed to other communities. Local plans. we hear, include further development of the much desired Gfmtl .Neigfifzor feeling through the assistance of the Board of Education and through seventy study groups. XX'e. the editors of the I9-il Smlfwriazz. have two reasons for especial pride in the theme of the book we now present to you. ln the first place. as early as May. I9-41, when we planned our yearbook and settled upon its theme. we recognized that cooperation and unity of purpose are basic at Scott. We needed no Pearl Harbor to jolt us into tardy and selfish knowledge of the value of friendly collaboration. Scott has always emphasized that. Moreover, as we have shown earlier. ample evidence proves. we think, the timeliness of our theme and its relation to the life of our city and of our Country.
