Dedicated to ' V ' Z ' - When the INDEX Board decided to dedicate their book to Dr. Maxwell Henry Goldberg, they honored a leading advocate of the philosophy that man doth not live by bread alone ; that if he tries to do so, so much the less is he a man. Now in an institution which has been con- cerned chiefly with the problem of the loaves and the fishes, there is bound to be always a rivalry between those who regard the business of man ' s life as the acquisi- tion of bread and those who do not. It is with the latter, the dissenters from the utilitarian interpretation of man, that Dr. Goldberg long has been identified. To Dr. Goldberg abiding values, proceeding from the good life, alone can give significance to man and his little day. By no accident, then, integrity, industry, assiduous application to the task in hand, tireless energy — all have their unique exemplification in Dr. Goldberg. Through these he has achieved a scholarship which has won the approbation even of a Karl Young. Hence, to all cant, politics playing, dabbling; to flippant and shallow sparkle as a substitute for hard thinking. Dr. Goldberg is a living rebuke. Those of us, moreover, who have come to know this man are well aware that mere theory without practice can never satisfy him. Our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, he has said in a recent commence- ment address, must be won again and again, if they are to be something more than formulae to which lip service only is rendered. So it is through education, right education, that we are, in Dr. Goldberg ' s phrase, to re- possess ourselves, afresh, .... of our basic rights and privileges. Democracy [must] become again democ- racy in action, as Archibald MacLeish says, not democracy accomplished and piled up in goods and gold. Democracy in action, that is it; a thinking hard and lean; an integrity found in one ' s personal life and found, hence, in society ;— these, I know, are the principles which motivate our friend. These are the standards by which he judges his students, and for these they respect and admire him. Walter E. Prince. [6]
