THE RED A D WHITE VOL. XXXVIII. DECEMBER, 1951 NO. 1 x How Strong Is Freedom? RUTH DENNIS, '52 Above the waters of New York Harbor stands the Statue of Liberty --a sculptured masterpiece of great significance. She was the gift of one free people to another, a symbol of the independence all Americans hold so dear. America, down through the ages, has had to fight for her freedom. Truly, this freedom which she exem- plifies is something to enjoy, some- thing to defend, if need be, something to die for. Today, America's peace is being shattered as never before. The ideals once hers are being destroyed: the light she once held so high is growing dim. How strong is freedom?

Somewhere along the line, America has lost her belief in self, her enthusiasm and her faith in God. Our forefathers, builders of Amer- ica, believed profoundly that they could not win without God's help, nor could they lose while they trusted in Him. They stamped on our coins In God we trust. We find in our National Anthem the stirring words sung by Americans everywhere: And thus be it ever when free men shall stand Between their loved homes and the war's desolation, Blessed with victory and peace may this heaven-rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation . . . Then conquer we must for our cause it is just, And this is our motto, 'In God be our trust'. How can America prosper, main- tain her freedom for which our fa- thers gave their all, when she has, in her haste and confusion, forgotten her Creator? How can character be developed without character build- ing? If our natural course is con-
