The l'oyoge11r An address delivered by the heaa'moster on the occasion of the Roosevelt Memorial Service. April 15th, I..9i5. N THE HISTORY OF THE HUMAN RACE there have been periods of comparative peace when life has moved along more or less uneventfully and with a lack of serious tensions. During those periods the forces of progress and reaction seemed to be more or less evenly balanced. These periods of peace and lack of tension were broken by intervals of strife and struggle which frequently have broken into open warfare. At such times in history the fate of nations, and sometimes the fate of all mankind. has seemed to hang in the balance. From one point of view the story of the human race is a simple story of masses of ordinary people, working. playing. living and dying, striving always, though at times gropingly, to improve their own lot, and always hoping to pass on a better inheritance to their children and their childrenis children. But at the great critical moments in history, the hopes. the dreams, the yearnings, the strivings of the masses are crystallized in the personalities of the great leaders of the human race. From another point of view, therefore, human history can be told in the biographies of its great men. At times leaders. men of tremendous capacity, have been mistaken in their judgments. These in their turn have thus helped to create their own opposites and in the battle of the Titans which ensues. the progress of the human race is either advanced or retarded. Individuals may be lost in the intensity of this struggle: there may be delay. retrogression and appar- ent failure. But as one writer puts it. 'cHistory moves in grim cycles and man is broken on the wheel. but the road winds up., not down, forward not back.-and it is worth the travelling. If it were not so, man would have let the wagon mire long agofi 17
