'7aMeQ' FAREWELL messages, in happier years, notwithstanding an inevitable undertone of regret, were pervaded by a spirit of buoyancy which arose out of the confidence that the sons and daughters of the University would worthily strive and highly achieve in a world of peace. The theme of this year's Brown and Gold-On to Victory-tells of the war-torn world to which the graduates of 1941 go forth. The theme, however, carries hope. The seriousness of the hour has not merely to do with the success of British arms, it is rooted in an anxiety for the sur- vival of the ideals of individual liberty and individual self- discipline, as opposed to the concept of a world of robots and automatons shoved about by a group of men who, in the name of a New Order, revert to paganism and barbarism. From youth there comes the hope for the victory of arms, and the ensuring of the prevalence of good-will and peace, order and decency, within and among nations. Young men and young women of conscience, talent, and training, who believe that liberty and justice on earth are not unattainable ideals thrown up from the infinity of man's dreams, must struggle to fulfil that hope. When the victory is won, the claims of the individual and the need for social progress must be better co-ordinated. The diversity of opportunities for the individual to develop his own personality will be limited only by humanitarian ideals, the unity of which will be different from the mechan- ized uniformity imposed on serfs and slaves. In wishing you well, your Alma Mater, seriously and affec- tionately, charges you with the obligation of upholding and defending, before and after victory, those ideals of the free spirit which she has endeavored to illuminate for you. You will not sob with Hamlet: 'fThe time is out of jointg O cursed spite. That ever I was born to set it right. ' No! You will say, in the words of Rupert Brooke: Now God be thanked. who hath matched us with His hourfi SIDNEY SMITH, President. 21
