VALEDICTCRIAN The wise and learned more valuable than wealth, that an idea alone ls not, THE IDF! THAT BUTLT ATWRICA us thlt an 'dee is force It is true take form if it LS en of every era have warned more powerful than physical by far, enozgh, but it mu t to be valu ble nd useful to anyone An idea renawns a vague theory in the mind of the inventor unt'l a working odel has been 7POGUC6d and 19 proved as to 'ts worth Our early fore fathers had an idea But thumb of the mighty ruling classes of the Old the opportunity it needed to oecome a working vided that opportunlty Dy instllling in a nan living under the oonressing ldea d dn't have God finally oro find a new route world, th's model But the urge to to the fabulous Indies What was this idea then? Nh t is this idea nowo It is the belief that, given a chance, wen and women with the help of Alrignty God have the ability to take charpe of their own lives that they are able to out to good use all the lmagfnation and lngenuity they possess to create a better way of life As they have nroved canable of doing time and again what appeared to be the imnos ible Amer cans have had abundant evidence of the truth of this their fundarental idea Consciously or uncensclously, that idea has beco e a vital part of the thinking and the experience of all who h ve become American either by birth or by choice Nor has this idea remained just a beautiful dream in the minds of uen nd women Just as the idea of the inventor is converted from blue print into a finished product, the American idea has been translated into ac tion many times and in 1any ways In the development of free enterprise, in freedom of WOPSH1P, press, speech and assembly We must remember that this idea pushed its tap root into what wis liter ally a new world Inhabited only by a few Indian tribes was a great xndevel oped territory with wide, unexplored rivers, virgin timbers, vast wountaxns, and grand lakes Those who came to the wilderness in the very beginnlng, found no settled form of Fovernment, no social castes, no rank or title established among the people Nature, with its freedom and its impartiality s well as its stern demands, took command of the situation, and, to a large extent, dictated the terms upon which ren and woven might survive in the New World Regar less f birth or orevioms record, every nan who crossed the ocean and landed on tnese shores was on his own with an opportunity to prove what kind of tuff he h in hin One more factor has served to stren then and expand 1en's faith in God and in human oossibilitles From the beginn ng, even down to the present day, many of those who iound their way to America have been victims of some form of oppression or persecutlon This escape from tyranny to freedom had great real to do with the growth of the American idea Those who have suffer ed and have resolved to flee, lea r fron bitter experience the importance of tolerance and respect for another's point of view There have been and still are which limit the freedom of certain Nevertheless, because this is try, the demand for freedom has in economic conditions and social attitudes groups within our population a relativelv new world and a pioneer coun a great majority of cases proved stronger than p ejudice and intolerance Moreover, the growth and fulfillment of the American dream were greatly influenced by events which took place in other parts of the world The set tlement of this country was going on during the period in history when ren were rebelling against restrictions on religion, on government, on thought, and on bus ness As the physical horizons of the world were llfted by the explorers, a new vision of possibilities began to open up before the mnnds of men It is interesting to remember that within a lngle century Columbus discovered America which lifted the horizons on the New Norld, Martin Luther posted his thesis on the door t Nittenberg Ia signal for the beginning of the religious reformationl and Copernicus, the Pol'sh astronomer, evolved his theory that the earth revolves around the sun, which meant the dawn of rodern science New trends, new forces were being let loose in the world that were bound to change the However, there possible for people cratic nations have lives of entxre nations is but one country 1n the world where lt has been to accept and put 1HtO practice this idea Other dero gone part of the way, but only Americans are wllling to grant to one another not only colltical but social, cultural, economic and religious freedom, in the belief that only this way can new achievements be made which will enrichen and improve life for all. We, as graduating students must continue to carry on the idea of the Early Americans. 37 , ... l . . . . fn., . H1 I P . 5 - , A . , l . S ' 2 E . , A P -. 'F . 4.
