VAlfIlIlIlllIlY Now that we are graduated as the 1947 Class, XVharton Evening School, we know that we have reached another milestone in our lives. XVC have the solid foundation of the best economic training offered by any Univer- sity today on which to build our own econom- ic future. Wlien we view the future at long range and in a completely objective manner, there is one inescapable conclusion. This is that while the world is changing fast and drastically, the people of the world, who make up that world, are not changing to the same degree. VVe have electronic microscopes and calcu- lators, jet propulsion, television, penicillin and many other scientific developments and miracle workers. Nile are about to substitute the atom as a source of heat energy for the boiler. But we have not found any adequate substitute for human energy, effort and initia- tive, as well as personal loyalty, honor, sin- cerity and friendship. X'Vithout these human elements we could have none of these develop- ments. i Yet, while the world changes fast, the peo- ple change but little-want the same things from life-peace, freedom, security and happi- ness. lt is my belief that to obtain these we must apply the same principles of hard work and sincere effort to the problems of the fu- ture that we applied to the lessor problems of our classes. XVe, as individuals, must give our best, not just enough to get by, or what we may consider to be our share, nor depend on others to take the responsibility. This will apply equally to our relationship with our families, our friends, our employers, and to all mankind. VVhile the future belongs to those who pre- pare for il, leadership also imposes responsi- bility and obligations. There is a pressing de- mand today for dynamic leaders who can point the way to national economic stability. Industrial peace or war in the United States means the difference between prosperity and depression, a rising or falling standard of liv- ing, the preservation or loss of the American system of democracy, and a strong or weak potential of industrial power from the view- point of national security. As I see it, if our system -of free enterprise and competition is to survive, we must now demonstrate our ability to produce a sound labor policy with equal responsibilities to all, and an intelligent procedure to carry it out. WVe must never fail to teach the fundamentals of the balance sheet-of profit and loss, and the relationship of high productivity to a high standard of living. It will require the subordination of selhsh individual and special group interest to the public welfare, but it will lead to our goal of post-war peace and prosperity. Security has come to be of paramount im- portance to those people of many countries who for so long have lived in insecurity, in want and fear.. X'Ve cannot afford to be in- different to their problems, for history has taught us that the origin of revolutionary movements lie in the existence of large groups of dissatisfied and oft times hungry men. XVe have a tremendous advantage today in our search for security. The world has pro- gressed far in its peaceful aims, and with the United Nations Organization fully operating we can confidently look to honest agreement among nations when differences will be set- tled around a conference table rather than on a battle line. fC071,ff77uEd on Page 63j MARTHA REESE
