t V M 0' Mb Page 124 Page 198 ROM THE EDITOR . . . ou hast called me, O God, to spend this portion of my life in study. lthough the world is full of young men and women no older than I who must work in fields and shops to support their families, who must bear arms to defend their country, on hast released me from these responsibilities, placing upon me the special trust of searching wisdom. hen I look to Thee, JUDGE of all the earth, and then look upon myself, I fear my unworthiness of this trust. I find myself only half ready in heart and mind because of wasted, careless hours. I fear that I will again be tempted to sloth, to be content with half-truth, to support of doubtful causes. I beg Thy forgiveness and Thy cleansing and courage. elp me never to forget, most loving Lord, that the burden of work that is lifted from me is no heavier than the burden of trust that is placed upon me by this call to study. May the need of the world for clarity and commitment be the need that speaks to me, the need for men and women who have drunk deep of the wisdom of the ages, who have studied hard the conditions of slavery and exploitation, who have pushed through obstacles to new dimensions of life, who will not be content with hostilities where might be reconciliation. Grant, Father of all mankind, that I may know the dignity of this call to be a student, That I may never lose sight of the needs of the world I am called to meet, that I may always be assured of Thy presence and Thy power as I enter now this college experience. Amen. Tracy Graham Table of Contents 3
