Dedication Realizing that war can be no solution to the prob- lenns and differences between men, but that such con- flict can only magnify and and aggravate these differ- ences, let us resolve ourselves to striving toward the elimination of war. Let us begin to foster the idealism of such men as Wilson, Kellogg and Roosevelt. To scoff at idealism as being impractical, has gained us nothing. Now let us realize the value of idealism as a stimulant causing man to realize that he must live with his fellow man. We must now begin to dedicate ourselves to work- ing toward a life wherein all men can live decently and securely. It is in this sense that this book is dedicated — dedi- cated in the hope that man can direct his affairs in a way that will provide for his own welfare. It is dedi- cated to the effort that is being made and to the effort that must yet come — the effort that will bring a greater measure of peace and security for all men. The book is dedicated to the efforts made by this University to promote international understanding. It is dedicated to such programs as the Student Project for Amity among Nations, the Cosmopolitan Club, the YMCA, and YWCA. It is dedicated to those who think in terms of amity between nations and universal under- standing. It is dedicated to a peaceful world.

Last April, in St. Paul, Minnesota, a Festival of Nations was held, and n -any foreign students going to the University partici- pated. Held in the St. Paul Auditorium, the students danced and sang for thousands of pleased American spectators. Such efforts as these to reach an understanding between nations, are comnnendable, but they are not enough, every individual must willingly work to establish the peace that is now so necessary for mankind. What has been written here is no solution of the problenn. However it is a declaration of the crisis, as we face it now. It is very simple; we are now thinking in terms of war. Who will drop the first bomb, and who will be the best prepared. Such talk may be termed defeatism, but talk of war is sure defeatism — defeat of mankind and all that he has built for himself. A war means destruction of all our plans, our hopes and our desires. An earnest effort for peace means perhaps the giving up of some of our plans but at the same time in ensures the fulfillment of that pursuit of happiness. Pase IS
