1941’s fey Pte ic To the Graduating Class: 4 Mill's Challenge By Pn Ude tt Glta ileA. . Beusiy These, indeed, are limes that try men's souls. To my mind, two paramount issues stand out above the tumult over national preparedness. The first has to do with dear understanding, rational thinking, and intelligent citizenship. The second, with social and political leadership in the turmoil which this world ill face when peace returns. The importance of guns, of munitions, of airplanes and tank:- is readily understood. It is not hard to realize that military and naval power must he made superlatively strong in times of peril, lint it is often hard to understand that such intangible assets as attitudes and ideals and straight thinking are of even greater importance. These must come as the result of trained leadership, and that leadership will never arrive if. in the storm and stress of national emergency, education is left in a state of abeyance. This is a direct challenge both to the universities and their graduates. An insurgencc of lawlessness and wanton disregard for things held sacred threatens to engulf the world. Nations and individuals alike seem to have drifted into apathetic attitudes toward the nobler concepts of life. Greed and aggression have supplanted the finer instincts with which both governments and peoples have been endowed. Godliness- heretofore the mainstay of both commonwealth and individual—apparently has been forgotten in the complex processes of our so-called modern civilization. To counteract these devastating forces, a great moral, spiritual and religious resurgence is the world’s greatest need today a return to the elemental principles of righteousness; to the high moral standards which would not permit generations of the past to omit God from their calculations: and a revival and renewal of our obligations toward ourselves and our fellow men. V well-rounded citizenship would do more to promote moral and economic recovery than any program launched by Congress. In any project in which you may he called upon to take part for the preservation of the blessings of Democracy, as well as in any field in which you will endeavor to carry on the Temple tradition of service-ability, I wish you God-speed!
