Evelyn Marguerite Waugh To the Graduates of the Four Year History Curriculum In so many fields our young people arc seeing the substantial values of culture give way to transient expedients, that without intensive training in the enduring principles of civilization they will be unfitted to use and to transmit this heritage. In consequence the finer elements of our civilization will be lost. Through your classical studies, you are able to put your pupils into contact with the great social experiences of the peoples of the world; to show them that in the long run might gives way to truth. The power of the much feared Assyrian and Persian Empires is gone, but the teachings of the Prophets are vital today; the Greeks, in the fields of art and philosophy, did work so true and so basic, that it has remained a pattern to all later times, and the democratic fibres of the Germanic tribes are woven into all modern government. You cannot show your students how to replace greed with unselfishness, hatred and jealousy with love, in this troubled world; that is their problem, they of the coming generation, to cope with these difficulties as they arise. But you are privileged to stimulate them to use their latent intelligence in dealing with these matters, and to keep alive their courage and faith. You can do this only by showing to them the great lessons of history—the undying messages of Christianity, love, beauty, order, peace—principles set forth by our ancestors and passed down to us that we may give them universal trial. 22
