S Sk DEDICATION The freedom for which your forefathers fought and died is once more threat- ened by the forces opposed to democracy. This freedom is very precious. It has been freedom of a type nowhere else to befound on this earth. It has attracted the persecuted and downtrodden from all corners of the world. It is a freedom that many fled to, leaving behind them virtual slavery. It is a heritage that you must now gird yourselves to preserve. The task of preservation is a most dificult one. It is a course that is beset with many difficulties and dangers. In your training at the University of Delaware you prepare yourselves to par- ticipate in that great task. You may wonder at times how it all fits into the scheme to make this world a place in which people can live in peace and harmony, while all you see today is an entire world engaged in the worst war of all recorded times, But be assured that the training does fit in, Some of you, indeed, many of you, have already and will have your training here interfered with by having to don a uniform. Many of those who preceded you have already gone to war. Some have paid the supreme sacrifice and others have held and now hold high places among those who are responsible for the prosecution of this war, You will all have your part to play. There are those among you who will go forth but will not return. You have, indeed, a great privilege in being permitted to do your part in the preservation of the heritage handed down by thos: who have gone before you. And you shall not fail but go forward always with the thought that you must not fail. And out of it will come a better world in which the principles of democracy will live on without the dangers that have threatened it in the years gone by. You will not fail in your trust. May God give you strength to carry on. x ok ok ki Kok ok
