'LII' MISS J. GRACE WALKER Deans Dean of Women MISS CATHERINE BOWES Office Secreiary In This Time oT vociTerous lip service To democracy, we mighT remind ourselves ThaT democracy assumes Two aTTiTudes in us, iTs advocaTes: TaiTh in people, in human naTure, and an unseITish desire ThaT The righTs and opporTuniTies oT liTe should be open To all. AT This poinT I begin To wonder wheTher The rising Tide oT cynicism engendered and TosTered by recenT world evenTs-The some- Times amused, someTimes conTempTuous, oTTen biTTer laclc oT TaiTh in The goodness oT human moTives-isn'T in iTselT The greaTesT danger democracy has To Tace. I believe ThaT one is on The wrong Track who habiTually ascribes To oThers moTives meaner Than his own. Perhaps we growing cynics need TirsT To look inTo our own hearTs, aT our own moTives. Those moTives we lcnow or can aT leasT discover. IT They are decenT, void oT malice, generous, perhaps we may sTiII believe in mankind, in democracy. BuT iTTThe generous virTues have vanished even Trom ThaT sTronghold, ones own hearT, Then musT democracy despair. J. GRACE WALKER MR. WALTER B.
