Z fda ,Senior C5155 of 1945 As I sit at my desk this late January night to write a message to a class of thirty seniors, I can visualize this group beginning their work in first grade, twelve years of momentous change in the personal characteristics of these young people . . . half as many years as the time when a war was fought to end wars. How can one speak encouragingly? Certainly there are new hopes and aspira- tions to realize. History is a bath of blood. The Iliad is o11e long recital of how Ajax, Sar- pedon, and Hector killed. Alexander's career was piracy pure and simple, nothing but an orgy of power and plunder. To be sure, you are living in a world composed of a military ancestry. At the present day, civilized opinion is a curious mental mixture. The mili- tary instincts and ideals are as strong as ever, but are confronted by reflective criticisms which sorely curb their ancient freedom. You are therefore in a curious world. Young people like you will be called upon to reshape the destinies of the world. Your job is ahead and yours is the challenge. With this in mind, let us turn now to some practical facts about our situation that light up this truth. We are truly living in a scientific world. The things we make are the most easily transmissible elements in human life. Invent a radio here, and it will soon encompass the world. This modern technological civiliza- tion, with its stupendous powers for good or evil, will be increasingly a world- wide affair. But the great faiths, the spiritual loyalties that mean man's peace, do not spread so fast-they lag behind. You of a realistic mind, therefore, must decide to live in a world equipped with gigantic aggregations of destructive power, or in a world in which ethical religion can catch up with all this new power, begetting in man's soul devotion to decency, justice, and brotherhood. This is our modern peril. The saying of Alfred the Great is still true: 'GPower is never a good, unless he be good that has it. Therefore, members of the Senior Class, to meet your problems, you must equip yourselves with education and sound religion. We are in a race between education and catastrophe, between Christ's principles and universal disaster. The quality of life must not fail. Neither battleships, nor armies, nor cathedrals, nor endowments, nor anything else can save us if the quality of life fails. It is up to you to build a better world-on Christ's principles of life. January I 1, 1945 ROBERT L. ADAMS U31
