A WORD IN TIME. It seems necessary again and again to send out some message to the students of Muhlenberg College which shall serve as a word in time. The nature of the time and the character of the present must determine what this word shall be. The outstanding fact of the present is the effort of our country to enter into a new era on a foundation that shall be sound and strong. This effort should engage the attention and move the thought of every student. Its purpose is to do away with destructive selfishness. All of our business and our whole economic order have been deeply upset by a rugged but mistaken individualism. The new slogan is cooperation. In business, in industry, in commerce, in agriculture, and, in short, in every operation of society we need mutual understanding and mutual concession. If we fail to live outside of our- selves and to live for others, we shall not only harm them but also ourselves. The coming social order must be built on the foundation of actual brotherhood and of considerate and just love. With this ideal now before our people, which ought not to be hindered by the recalcitrant forces, it is necessary for college students to begin to cultivate the new conception in their college life before they enter into the world. We want a new group of men to go out who will confirm and help to establish the new or der in which the social conscience is paramount. As you read the pages of this book and see what the college looks like, may you remember the ideals which ought animate those who come under its beneficent influence. My hope for you, of the class of Nineteen hundred and thirty-five, and for all who have gone out from us and will go out, is that they may be champions and leaders in the new social order. John A. W. Haas.
