• ' THE OAK, LILY AND IVY. 29 SALUTATORY. As a member of the Class of 1933, I wish to extend to all a most cordial welcome. We desire to take this oppor¬ tunity to express our sincere apprecia¬ tion of the efforts made by our teach¬ ers and parents during the past four years. For their aid and encourage¬ ment, which have made this happy oc¬ casion possible, we are truly thankful. WOODROW WILSON. “We are not put into this world to sit still and know; we are put into it to act.” Such were the words of Woodrow Wilson in his inaugural ad¬ dress at Princeton University. How well they express the character of one of our noblest Americans, known to the world as an apostle of democracy and peace! From his boyhood to his death, Wilson knew and loved the happiness and security brought by concord. His memories of the Civil War taught him the horrors of conflict. He must have wondered at the transformation of the great Church, where his father officiat¬ ed as minister, into a hospital, and the churchyard into a prison camp. When it became necessary to dispense with Church services in order that the mem¬ bers might make ammunition on Sun¬ day, Wilson must indeed have realized the seriousness of war, for he was very religious. At the opening of the great World War, if Wilson was slow in entering, it was because he knew what such i struggle meant and realized the im¬ portance of neutrality. As he said at the time of the Mexican War, “It is easy for me as President to declare war. I do not have to fight, and neither do the gentlemen on the Hill, who now clamour for it. It is some poor farm¬ er’s boy, or the son of some poor wid¬ ow, or perhaps the scion of a great fam¬ ily who will have to do the fighting and the dying. I will not resort to war until I have exhausted every means to keep out of this mess.” It mattered not to him that he might be called a coward and a quitter, for he believed in the wis¬ dom of his stand. Throughout the war he dreamed of the security of peace brought about by a League of Nations. He wished to be present at the Peace Table and felt that he could send no delegate to take his place. When he formally announced his intention of making the trip, an avalanche of criticism was unloosed, but all efforts to detain him were un¬ availing. At the Peace Table he was the dominant figure, and his idealism pre¬ vailed. He won the fight after many strenuous days and sleepless nights, during which his strength was nearly exhausted. Returning in triumph to America, he was accorded a tremendous ovation. After urging the Senate with all his heart and soul to accept the League idea, he suffered a cruel and bitter blow when that body rejected it. Wilson, though worn to a shadow, resolved at once to go through the country on a whirlwind campaign. In vain Admiral Grayson, his phy¬ sician, protested. Wilson felt, however, that it would be a stain on the flag to ignore his obligations, and that it would not be keeping faith with the dead. And so, in devotion to his ideal, he left Wash¬ ington on the triumphal tour which had so sad an interruption. The same courage and devotion to an ideal which Wilson showed toward the League of Nations marked his whole life. It took courage to face the laugh¬ ter of a crowd, but he never lacked that. Instead, he went serenely on his way, for who has not been laughed at? “They laughed at David, but he slew the Philistine giant. They laughed at New¬ ton, but he discovered the law of gravi¬ tation. They laughed at Field, but he laid a cable under the sea. They even mocked the Master in the hour of His
