I MEM ORIUM HARRY S. TRUMAN Harry S. Truman was an honorary alumnus and honorary member of the faculty of West- minster College. But more particularly he stood out as a world statesman, friend of freedom and equality both at home and abroad, and devoted admirer of this institution. His death on December 26, 1972, marked the end of a long and eminently useful life. Although thirty-five other men have shared with President Truman the honors and respon- sibilities of occupying the highest office in this land, few have come to that post under more try- ing circumstances or faced with the variety of awesome decisions, both immediate and long run, that he was called upon to make. That he responded well to the crises of his time, history has amply borne outg albeit several recent revisionist historians have questioned some of the United States' behavior in the development of the Cold War. The heritage which Harry S. Truman leaves us is a great one. In times of continuing stress, it is well to recall his remarks on the occasion of his Green lecture at Westminster in April, 1954, as the McCarthy era was drawing to a close: The cause of freedom both at home and abroad is damaged when a great country yields to hysteria. The way for us to spread democracy is to practice it ourselves. In times such as these, our colleges and universities have a very special obligation to maintain freedom of thought and inquiry. The precious freedoms for which Westminster College stands-freedom of thought and freedom of the human spirit-are our greatest strength in the world struggle in which we are involved. We can- not win our goals by abandoning our values. I urge you to be alert and bold in preserving and protecting our democratic freedoms.
