5. l tg 1 . We stand on the threshold ot life at a time when old beliefs and faiths seem to be tottering, when bewilderment is written on the faces ol: our neighborsg but we stand with the Firm conviction that our democracy here in America is impregnable. We pledge our lives to the protection ot our home, country, and our American idealsmlove, tol- erance, and Freedom. Changes are both inevitable and necessary, and all growth brings with it a con- stantly increasing amount ot complexity. Knowledge and tolerance are the parents ot understanding, and it is only through these that confidence may be born. We shall, with merciless persistency, stamp out the false doctrines that have been brought to our country. Fanatics and radicals shall have no place among us. Our security must not rest in the hands ot those who have only education, tor education without Divine guidance degenerates into a base passion for greed and personal gratification. Despotisms only occur when people have lost their enthusiasm tor democracy. We cannot in any measure conceive ot this happening to America. ln a nation where we, as students, are taught to think for ourselves, to act tor ourselves, and to arm our- selves with liacts, there is little doubt but that we shall carry on the heritage ot our forefathers and tight tor democracy.
