W U 2 any 5 wifi wer e e a 1MUPIC N IU LS Je, the graduating class of l94l, have arrived at the gate of portunity, which stands open before us We have arrived at a goal for which we should thank our parents and instructors as you already Know our graduating exercises have been built round the central theme Nlhat our Country Means to Usn Our part in this program will be about the Ideals of the American people This is a sub Ject which should be of interest to all people because it deeply con cerns all people There is not a single person in our country who not in some way affected by some of these ideals, if not by all of them The Declaration of Independence, th t famous document in which we declared ourselves free and independent from Wngland, states HThat all men are created equal that they are endowed by their Creator with cer tain inalienable Rights that among thes re Life, Liberty, an the Pursuit of Happin ssn Of these ideals we have spoken and written most about lib rty Washington said that HLovc of liberty ne ds no recommendations because it is in the hearts of alln In the Virginia legislature Just before the Revolutionary Jar Patrick Henry declared HGIVG me liberty give me deathn. what is this liberty? One definition is that it is the right to do what we wish as long as it does not interfere with the liberty of others. There are several kinds of liberty: personal liberty, that is, freedom from slavery, religious libertyg the right to help in the mak- ing and running of one's government, civil liberty, which means, free- dom from interference by the government with one's private conduct as long as it does not menace the conduct of others, national liberty or freedom from Gppression. Civil liberty is mentioned in the Declaration of Independence which saysg Nthat to secure these rights governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governedn, The constitution, that set of laws by which the poo ple of the United States are governed, contains statements which insure political and rcligous freedom. . .
