THE CHRONICLE. Ill- EDITORIAL We, the members of the staff, wish to thank all pupils and alumni who have helped to make our paper a success. We are deeply grateful to the members of the faculty who have at all times so willingly assisted us. We hope that we have succeeded in placing before the public a paper which shows to them what the students of the high school are accomplishing. We wish success to the members of next year’s staff. As this is the Senior number, we, the graduates, take this opportunity to say goodbye. We have spent a most enjoyable year at the Lyman Hall High School. Although we got lost when we entered this new building in September, we shall henceforth feel so much at home here that we shall feel like wandering back when school opens in 1918. May succeeding classes spend even happier years at the high school. WOODROW WILSON—A EULOGY . (Salutatory Essay) In 1912, when the American people elected for their president a New Jersey college professor, they naturally expected that he would fulfill his duties faithfully and wisely. They could not know then that the next four years would develop a world crisis and the need of a man, big enough to meet that crisis for the whole American nation. It was not necessary that they should know, for the fate that ruled the election directed their choice for their own good. Situations arose, which no one could have foreseen, but the government was in capable hands and the country was never in any real danger. The period following the outbreak of the European war has been compared to that of a half century ago, and the man who was its guiding power has been called the Lincoln of the twentieth century. Feople often think that whenever a man makes a noted success in the world, it is through some genius nature has bestowed upon him. They do not stop to consider how great a part of his success is due to character, the shaping of which is largely in his own hands. Though it may take some degree of genius to execute a public position well, at least what is more necessary than genius is character. Many of the most infamous persons in history were brilliant men, in whose career character was the turning point. It is only when genius and character are combined that we have a truly great man. Such a man is Mr. Wilson, our president, the leader of our nation. As a man, he is thorough, conscientious, sincere. Nothing is left undone that comes within his range of duties. Nothing is done carelessly or halfway, but only according to his high conception of excellence. Nothing is done hypocritically or deceptively, but always with straightforward, manly frankness. Broad minded, liberal, patriotic, we find him in private life a type of ideal citizen. As a public officer, Mr. Wilson in no respect falls behind the standard we might expect of such a man. People have criticised him for being vacillating, for having no policy, for being “too proud to fight.” In the first place, they do not seem to take into consideration the fact that during his administration, situations have arisen, the like of which have never before been known in history. Under such conditions, there could be no definite policy to follow, no precedent to rely upon. To have treated every crisis with machine-like regularity would have been nothing short of stupidity. To act upon each separately, according to its kind, required wis-
