YESHIVA UNIVERSITY HIGH SCHOOL AMSTERDAM AVENUE AND 186th snualar ' OFFICE OF THE REGISTRAR NEW YORK 33, NEW YORK The educational conscience of the people of the United States has been disturbed deeply during the past decade. This uneasiness has been on all levels, from elementary to college and even to graduate schools. Many conferences in education have been held. Struggling with shortages of teachers, classrooms and facilities, they expressed the hope for substantial federal aid to education as the only means of remedying this intolerable situation. However, the recent successful launchings of the Russian and American usputniksl' resulted in a crash program to complete the revamping of our educa- tional curriculum. The idea is to do something in a hurry, hoping for the best. Plans are now in the ofling for teaching science to children barely out of their swaddling clothes. Mathematics should be rammed down the throats of all students regardless of the lack of capacity. Engineers and technicians should be ground out on an assembly-line basis. We should copy the Soviet educational system even though we are a democracy with democratic ideals. Those of us who have been connected with educational institutions for many, many years, know only too well the folly of such a program. We know that the better schools, including our own high school, have always had a balanced curriculum including English, mathematics, science, social studies and foreign languages, Here, both essential elements-science and the htunanities- have been adhered to. What is even more vital is that the religious, spiritual and ethical values in life-values which give the true meaning and direction to education-should have a higher place in our studies. You graduates, who will be the leaders of the next generation, must not only prepare yourselves with knowledge and ability to counteract this latest rush of education, but must plan to enter fields in education and religious leadership to enable you to bring to the world the Hebrew message SHALOM. Make your slogan the following: LET US KEEP OUR SPIRITUAL AND ETHICAL FEET ON THE GROUND RATHER THAN OUR DESTRUC- TIVE ROCKETS IN THE SKY. For the Jew, scientific, even military prepara- tions must have but one aim-to prepare for peace. Registrar

I za: N ing I The Kings of ancient Israel were singular among monarchs in their rela- tionship to their subjects. They pre- sented the Word of G-d and gave ad- vice. They served as prototypes of vir- tue and were responsible for the moral- ity of the nation. Throughout our high school years our religious instructors have familiarized us with the wisdom of the Torah, have served as symbols of integrity and character, and have been our advisors and confidantes. 11
