Foreword LIFE OFFERS a stern challenge to the youth of today-the challenge to conquer the forces of barbarism and destruc- tion which have set nation against nation and race against raceg the challenge so to organize the World that peace may once more be secureg the challenge to insure for every man the liberties which are his birthright. We accept this challenge, in full realization of our responsibility. We have been trained in the disciplines of democracy, and We shall be guided by the spirit of Woodrow Wilson Whose noble ideals have laid a foundation upon Which We intend to build a better and a safer World.
