THE NEW RENASCENCE World conditions in the last few years have shown less and less promise of fulfilling the glorious idealism of that won- derful fifteenth century period known as the Renascence-- the new birth. Even the men of the nineteenth century looked upon their time as one unequaled in history, an age which would put to shame all other golden centuries, a time when the fulfillment of all that philosophers and prophets had dreamed of for centuries was to come true. Education and learning were stressed as the key to perfection. But instead of these things Working for the advancement of civilization, they are becoming self-def structive. The ideals of world brotherhood, the conception of democracy, the belief in common justice and individual freedom have tottered again, in many parts of the world, almost to the status of the dark ages. Now we can only look forward to the time when a new Renascence will fire the world again to the pursuit of knowledge and learning for its ,own sake, and for the sake of human betterment. The dedication of a school yearbook to such a theme is not only appropriate-it is a good omen: for, those who believe that education and knowledge can hold our ideals fast must prove it. They are the prophets whose eyes can see the light of the new Renascence.
