5 l l 'kit 'k'kti'i'ir'k'lrir'k'k1l' To the Class of 1941: ln times of National Crises it becomes necessary for any people, if they would Provide for the Common Defense, to be united in purpose and action. To this end, you must impose upon yourselves certain common disciplines which have made America the great nation that she is today. The discipline of teamwork, the discipline which fosters the initiative and resourcefulness of each individual, the discipline which directs the efforts of all toward ideals which all have had a voice in choosing, are the disciplines which you must build as the bulwark for our American Democracy. This will require deep loyalty and sincere devotion on your part. There can be no positive assurance of common defense unless the fact is un- mistakably plain to you that you are fast approaching the time when you shall take over the reins of government. Other generations before yours, in many cases, offered and gave their all to the end that this nation might survive and prosper. There is no cause for you to believe that the defense of a free America can be assured without your acceptance of the necessity of similar responsibility and sacrifice on your part. A.
