To A World of... ’’Speak to us of Children And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, Speak to us of Children: And he said: Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life ' s longing for itself. They come through you, but not from you. And though they are with you yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts, For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday. You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far. He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far. Let your bending in the archer ' s hand be for gladness; For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable. — Kahlil Gibran

PEACE Let Us Have Peace Peace is the dream which mankind has cherished since ancient times. Throughout the ages various deterrents have interfered with the realization of this quest. Today, however, the crusade for peace has encompassed the youth of the world. There is renewed hope and vigor directed toward attaining our goal. Each year sees this universal desire growing stronger. We long for the day when this becomes an actuality. Our pilgrimage toward peace goes forward, augmented by the ranks of youth espousing the cause. But why has international harmony, so long sought, never been attained? We, as future leaders of our nation, must search for the answer. We share the responsibilty for establishing peace and brotherhood. Hopefully, our dream will be realized in our generation. But , as Woodrow Wilson once said, It must be a peace without victory. Say is as you wish — shalom, paix, or pax — the thought must be universal, lying in the heart and soul of each person. And once we have a tranquil world, its existence must not be maintained by force. We, as seniors and future leaders, join this purposeful quest. Therefore, in 1971, we dedicate this twelfth edition of the Delphian to the success of the noblest aspiration of mankind: the hope for an everlasting peace. — Bari Forman
