That pure blond hair get's em all, LUCY ALLEN ESSAY CContinued from Page 135 gained from the knowledge of former ages. History has taught that even the most utilitarian nation depends on the culture of the past. For, from the wisdom of the centuries are derived all ideals of conduct, a sense of right and wrong, and a realization of social and moral obligations. Too, appreciation of values, both spiritual and ethical, is drawn from these vast founts of knowledge. Intelligence tempered by a cultural background is the basis of beliefs. Moreover, among world powers, a common bond gained from a common cultural background would assure peaceful understanding of problems. Through the pursuit of the liberal arts, the student is brought to the realization that other countries breed other men , whose characteristics and policies are quite different from ours. As man un- derstands other races and nations, their customs, their habits, their government, their political economy, their history, then is he endowed with both racial and religious tolerance, and he is one step nearer to world peace and security. Among peoples with a common sense of value and a common background acquired from the wisdom of former ages, war does not seem likely. The fire of culture has been reduced to the smouldering ashes of a deposited wisdom. Into these dying embers an earnest desire for knowledge must be injected, that this lambent spark. may be kindled once more into an effective, incandescent blaze. forty-four 429
