The President’s Message Nineteen hundred forty-four, some say, will be the year of victory for the allied nations over Fascist states and ideology. Thinking people know that triumph at arms is but one victory necessary if future wars arc to be prevented and peace is to be beneficent for all the world. Transition from a world pattern of force to one of cooperation in justice, equality, and freedom will be the work of years of intelligent statesmanship and education. You of 1944 are few in numbers. You must double your influence in promoting understanding of a world mightily changing and to be changed. You may think, “I am young. My elders arc wiser. Let them lead.” Don’t believe it. Look to history. In times of rapid evolution and of revolution youth has played a large part. Affairs of great moment often cannot wait for the necessary doing. The action and the strength of youth must match the wisdom and philosophy of age. Your class goes forth to battle for a good citizenry competent to build a safe world of peace. Ernest L. Silver 6
