Valcbictorp In closing a recent address to the undergraduates of Oxford University, about to go into uniform, Lord Halifax said: In front of the Viceroy ' s House in New Delhi stands a column, on which are inscribed the words: — In Thought Faith In Word Wisdom In Deed Courage In Life Service So May India Be Great. No one of us said Lord Halifax, could offer for our country or our Common- wealth any better prayer today. To us, the members of the Senior Class, who are leaving our Alma Mater, these words are an epitome of her constant teaching. It is a heartening thing that the Commonwealth of Nations, of which we are a part, offers us, through the speech of a great public servant, the same counsel, and that we go out to meet the same high purposes inspiring, for the most part, those peoples that constitute the Empire. But wider than the Empire is humanity. It is our belief that this prayer is not for India, merely, or for the Empire, but is the hope of humanity itself and the individuals who comprise it. Forever, the world turns to its youth, both for the maintenance of an idea or for its adoption and development, and we may perhaps be forgiven if we feel that at this moment, as at every crisis in human affairs in time and place, our hopes and our resolves are of first importance. We do not imagine for a moment that this noble inscription is completely novel in its spirit and intent, but we do see the maintenance of this idea threatened in the world about us, even definitely repudiated and derided in the training of the young by those nations in which force and domination are held up as the worthiest purpose to be sought. It is therefore our obligation to embrace the ideal embodied in this inscription with deeper fervor and devotion, and in saying farewell to our College, to determine in humility and faith that in this spirit we will live, and in this spirit we will work for a world wiser, freer, and more liberal. 4 m Page Seventeen
