iim The cats-o ' -nine-tails at last are at rest. Of the bearded gods that flailed them only memory and faded portraits remain, the grim like- nesses of Puritans and pirates. And whether the modern is appalled by their barbarity or fascinated by that touch of the Divine about them, he seldom recalls that these were the lawgivers in ages that had no law. If they were harsh as Solomon, so were they as merciful; if they were unyielding, so were they just. Chaotic seas and seamen alike could not submerge the rock of morality and authority upon which the master stood. Still he stands there as he must, but aware now, that justice is principally understanding and mercy rather than a compilation of the rights and duties of property owners. The captain of today must know well the tradition of integrity and courage which comes clown to him from the past. He will need it. He requires also a tradition of coopera- tive leadership to humanize his vast personal authority. This is a por- tion of what Kings Point gives him. If the captain ' s monarchial status afloat has been altered by society, his old role of wandering merchant seems to have disappeared entu-ely. No master today would dream of exchanging his cargo of pig iron for one of peppers, or his peppers for silk, then his silk and ship both for money in some remote port of the world. Radio and marine cable have rendered commerce more than a system of hap- hazard, although profitable, barter. The captain now is subject to the great chain of industrial command which reaches to and binds every part of the world. The picture of a merchant-captain with a hold full of gimcracks for the innocent islanders now is archaic. Today ' s captain does his duty by realizing his place in the world of commerce, by knovymg the economic principles and business procedures which have modified his p osition so that he might observe and report with intelli- gence to his shore-bound superiors. This too is knowledge that Kings Point imparts. However the master be diminished or increased as merchant and leader, he is, as he has been for two hundred years, America ' s personal ambassador to countries and peoples for whom our nation would be, without him, a great unknov n factory devoted to the manufacture and sale of handy appliances. His good will, his understanding, his char- acter, his manhood must stand for all our people. These qualities too Kings Point builds in him. ' '
