MR. GREGOR GEORGE V. GREGOR, Principal J was in Paris on that never-to-he forgotten Nov¬ ember 11, 1918. With the tick of a clock four years of bloody conflict were suddenly terminated and pent up emotions of the people burst forth in ths greatest celebration the city had ever seen. A little over a month later I saw Woodrow Wilson drive from the Arc cie Triomphe to the Place de la Con¬ corde, Quoting from the Americana, He received an ovation that surpassed anything witnessed in France since the days of Napoleon I Idealistic, bril¬ liant and scholarly he represented the hopes of man¬ kind. He was a sort of Messiah come to save Europe from the terrors of future wars. The French were ready to strew flowers in his path. As one English liberal expressed it, His voice was like the voice of God talking over our heads to the continent and the nations of the world These were proud moments for us Americans for we were sure a war had been won that would make the world safe for democracy and perpetuate the ideals that were a part of our American heritage. Thirty-eight years later we are much less sure of the security that seemed so certain then. Another World War and the Korean Conflict have been fought since that time. There must be a solution that will prevent these catastrophic reoccurrences. It appears that wars have often intensified the maladies they sought to cure. This edition of Memories in Blue is dedicated to the theme, Peace Through Education. 1 This would ap¬ pear to be a constructive approach to the problem since there can be no war but that it originates in the minds and hearts of men. This is an educational process requiring time and training. People do not change quickly. Yet the process is fundamental to creation and operation of the machinery for peace. What can we as students do to further this ob¬ jective? We must prepare ourselves by study and work so that we may achieve the highest possible development of our capabilities. There must be a ful¬ ler emphasis on understanding among people. As Norman Cousins has said, The new education must be less concerned with sophistication than compas¬ sion. it must teach man the most difficult lesson of all to look at someone anywhere in the world and be able to see the image of himself! We must under¬ stand that people all over the world are much more alike than they are different. The differences are superficial. Their minds and hearts are one! Page Seven
