Director ol Research ftllif A significant letter came in the mails today from a Stephens mother. It says: My husband and I are deeply grateful that our daughter who lived under Nazism for seven years can attend Stephens while such a tragic war is going on. She appreciates her privileges as an American in America. l hope that every Stephens woman comprehends to some extent, at least, the great blessings which she possesses. Our blessings are gifts from a long line of capable ancestors who worked with sincerity and intelli- genee to bequeath substantial treasures to their descendents. Their most notable gifts are not financialg they are the moral and social values and customs which together constitute the American way of life. Tln-se they gained through blood, sweat, toil, and tears. tjifts by ancestral donors demand the intelligent responsibility of the recipient to maintain and improve them. She who accepts gifts without a commitment to improve them is a parasite who ac- eepts all and gives nothing. ll' Stephens women achieve the aspirations of their alma mater they will be known in their spheres ol' life as partieipants in all movements to maintain the heritage of the youth of America. They will wateh the etiieieney ol' democratic proeessesg they will cooperate with their neighbors in improving the methods by which American ideals are realized. They will forever remember that every individual is a person of worth who must be given a democratic opportunity to develop the best of which he is eapahle. he the amount great or small. They will voteg they will drive for better thingsg they will co- opfratl-Z and they will enjoy the life which they will help to build. Stephens women should be nobly r-liar-:lets-rizefl as those who give more than they have received. -W. W. CHARTEHS W. W. CHARTERS Page I4
