MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF 1945 The inalienable rights of human beings are not derived from any government. They are God-given rights. VVe are fighting for :i faith. VVe may save every iota of the land between oceans and lakes and gulfs and yet if we lose faith in the supreme value of human life, we shall lose America! I like to think that we are fight- ing for the American way of life. But how large is your America? We live where we think, not where our feet move. VV'e live in a world bounded by our know- ledge, circumscribed by our in- terests, encircled by our sympa- thies. You cannot make a great America unless there is a great citizenry whose knowledge and sympathy en- circle all men of America. As you face commencement with all of its significance you are saying to yourself and to the rest of us, I wish to live in a really civilized worldf' This global war has taught us that we are members of a large world unit and that each one of us has a function in building a world civilization! To give it order and stability there must be a rebirth of righteousness, charity, service, and sacrifice. Its character and fruits will be determined primarily by the extent to which you and I are energized intellectually and moved spiritually to prac- tice daily the golden rule and our faith in the brotherhood of man. The peace we shall enjoy tomorrow depends on what kind of young men and women we are today. A Let me share with you a bit by human aspiration expressed in the follow- ing poem by Sir Uwen Seaman. It was written in the last war. Ye that have faith to look with fearless eyes Beyond the tragedy of a World at strife, And trust that out of night and death shall rise The dawn of ampler lifeg Rejoice, whatever anguish rend your heart, That God has given you for a priceless dower, To live ini these great times and have your part In freedoms crowning 'hourg That you may tell your sons who see the lfight High in the heavens-their heritage to take- I saw the powers of Darkness put to flight, I sawqthe Morning break. Your friend and principal, . ,- cwf jf' ff K ...Y 8
