Ei :E Rampant jealousies astray, EZ Hidden passions foil the way, Ei Greed and selfishness abound, -5 Hatred lurks the world around. Blatant figures, drunk with pow'r, Terrify each passing hour. gi Evil minds and mouths decry it The noble virtues passing by. For evils thus must youth atone, 22 And make his weary way alone? Will his eager heart be bruised And youthful mind be sore Confused? Youth is mighty in his way, is Tarries not, each troubled day. 2: He seeks his fortune where he can is And takes life's hardships like a man. 32 EZ ii Where his father's pathway led, Thru the brambles straight ahead, Where his father's Way did fan He shall blaze another trail! Knowledge shall his pathway light, And faith his cloak, like armored might Shall save him from the wretched thrust, These fleet barbs of betrayed trust. Thus, shall we lead the fallen field, And to our might must Nature yield The earth, the sky, and all between, That we may realize our dream.

There are poor, incompetent leaders and with them inefficient government, there are selfish, hardened business executives, and with them, want in the midst of plenty. Ignorant mobs become easy prey of the demagogue and dictator. These conditions, most acute abroad, where people have in several countries actually given up their prerogative of thinking, are caused by one despoiler-ignorance. They can be abolished by education. Although education does not connote intelligence, this quality is soon developed by education, for one cannot study and analyze without begin- ning to think, the more one must seek and glean the facts to become ac- quainted with what he is studying, the more intelligent he becomes. This intelligence is indispensable in combating those sorry conditions of which I have spoken. WVhen people learn to analyze social and political prob- lems and to think for themselves, they will not be precipitated into war, they will not become the prey of any demagogue. The educated man, in his quest for learning, has not been content to accept hearsay as fact, when he attempts to use his education to become a worthy citizen, he should not be satisfied until he is positive that his information on all public matters is absolutely correct. We must not let false reasoning tell us that we are fully educated. We may, after leaving these sacred portals, attend college or the univer- sity, but still we should not consider our learning complete. Education in school or college should serve as a foundation upon which to build the magnificent structure of knowledge. This knowledge is not necessarily the peculiar heritage of the man who has been so fortunate as to attend school or college. Education and the accompanying power and capacity to affect an ideal society should belong to every man. The time will soon come when it will be considered commonplace to be cultured and learned, when every citizen of our country will exert a healthy, intelligent influence in his government, when knowledge will broaden the prejudiced mind and outlaw subversive philosophy. The time will come, soon we hope, when all nations will be peopled with intelligent citizens, who will establish a capable government, responsible to their enlightened control. Then, per- haps, will idealistic visions of 'fPeace on earth, good will toward men come true. Then will we approach the ideal society. Fellow classmen, 'fthe old order changeth, yielding place to the new. It is our duty, as we leave Memorial, to assume our place ,in a socilety oppressed by far too many ills. We are young, we have a powerful weapon-education-to guide us on. Let us prove worthy of the trust that has been given to us. Let us do our part to make the world a better place in which to live. Our world looks to her youth for dleliverance from economic, social, and political chaos, we cannot, We must not fail! RUSSELL T.
