THE HACViyAN President’s Message Human beings are ever creating new worlds. The world in which we live is never quite ideal. The thing which distinguishes man from the inanimate is his power of re- newal. The stone which is crushed remains crushed, but man renews and rebuilds. Be- yond his reach is a world he creates in order to make his fullest and most complete re- newal. The American Indian loved hunting, but he suffered much in pursuit of game be- cause of rivers, lakes, mountains, swamps, and vast wildernesses. So he dreamed of a day when he would enter that happy hunting ground which would be free from all the unpleasant and objectionable features of the present actual world. We have been much the same. Each generation starts out to build a new world and each in turn leaves it unfinished. If we are to be builders in our day, it is necessary that we thoroughly familiarize ourselves with the buildings which former generations have been erecting. We must be prepared to intelligently remove that which does not properly belong to the building and add that which does. The greater the complexities of the social order, the higher the type of civilization, the higher other men may have climbed in the scale of life, the easier it may be for us to lead mediocre lives but the more difficult to advance as far c . 3 others may have gone and then make our additional contribution. In order to be sure of making a definite contribution, it will be necessary for one to avail himself of every opportunity to increase his knowledge, skill or appreciation of the world in which he lives and to definitely discover the way that is right and walk therein. President Roosevelt in his address to Congress. January 3, 1934, said: “We have plowed the furrow and planted the gcod seed; the hard beginning is over.... It i •. our task to perfect, alter when necessary, but in all cases, go forward.” ♦ % 19)4
