SENIOR Seniors: American young men and young women' are getting first hand information about government and social conditions in the various nations of the world. It is inevitable that they will measure what they observe by the conditions that exist here at home. Petty fault finding based on political emotionalism will seem shallow and superficial to those men and women who have pledged their lives on the field of battle. They will expect and, perhaps, demand a caliber of statesmanship that will pre- clude the gratification of merely selfish desire. Those of us here at home will be expected to demonstrate that how we live is much more important than how long we live. If the right of the individual to plan his own life in a truly democratic society is to persist, narrow and provincial practices must give place to belief in the possibilities of a better world in which there will be a broader understanding of the obligations of world citizenship. Such understandings should lead ,to a world at peace with less injustice and more social stability. The attitudes that you have developed during the course of your formal education will determine the part that you will play in the development of a better world. The contributions of your life will depend upon the responsibilities that you assume and your faith .in the ability of human beings to better their own conditions. We, the faculty, feel assured that the tasks which will con- front you will not prove to be difficult. We have faith in your ability to work constructively. Most sincerely, R. A.
