Plea for Tolerance Made
In Speech on America
of Tomorrow —
MORAL STANDARDS
NECESSARY TODAY
Goodhart, June 1.—The America
of Tomorrow was the title of the Com-
“mencement Address by the Honorable
Francis B. Sayre, Assistant Secretary
of State, who spoke on the funda-
mentals of the American spirit and
their
other nations. America which is “tol-
erant, which Aelieves in individual
freedom, which stakes everything
upon democracy,” must awake to the
fact “that. civilization depends upon
accepted moral standards among na-
tions no less than among individuals.”
Extracts from the Honorable
Mr. Sayre’s speech follow:
“.. . America—If the name means
anything—must mean tolerance. A
nation compounded as we are of Eng-
lish and Germans, Irish and Dutch,
Italians and French, Slavs and Turks,
Spanish-and Swiss, yes, and to a cer-
tain extent of Japanese and Chinese,
made up of Protestants and Catholics,
of Jews and Gentiles, of white, red,
yellow, and black—a nation com-
‘pounded of almost ‘every national]
stock, of almost every race, of dif-
fering religions, must be built on the
corner stone of tolerance, of breadth
of understanding, of generosity of
viewpoint, and largeness of outlook
In a day when religious intolerance
was threatening European civilization,
America grew up as the mecca of lov-
ers of liberty, and upon tolerance she

Attacks ‘Defenders of Opinion
Who Are Not Defenders
of the Truth”
Goodhart Hall, May 30.—Dr. Robert
Russell Wicks, Dean of Princeton Uni-
versity Chapel, spoke ‘at the annual
Baccalaureate Service. | Processional
hymns and anthems sung by the choir
from the balcony preceded the sermon.
“Let us think,” Dr. Wicks said,
“about the greatest thing—a willing
We. need people who look
on life as an experiment in willing-
ness, who do things for the fun of
it. Dr. Wicks cited Mme. Curie as
an individual who was “utterly will-
ing—above the distinctions of face
and creed—free from self-concern.”
College students should cultivate
their feelings as they do their minds,
to avoid following the example of the
man “who felt like lighting a match
to see if his gas tank was empty.”
At some point we feel a call for
our best and must reckon with the
“unexplained reality that men call
God.” We cannot reach the perfec-
tion which calls us, but it can reach
us and set us free to find things for
ourselves.
Willing '*devotion is important, Dr.
Wicks said, when dealing with the
moral conceit which besets college
students when they leave college. In-
stead of being defenders of truth they
are defenders of opinion. Dr. Wicks

Modern dancing will be given ‘next
year for sports’ credit, three hours a
week in the fall and spring, and two
in the winter, according to the ath-
letic department. At a meeting on
May 4, the Dancers’ Club was also
unanimously dissolved, “and a-new or-

to take its place. This will be called
the Dance Group of Bryn Mawr.
Lucile Sauder, ’39, ‘was elected chair-

Modern dancing, under the new
plan, will have the same status as
fencing. It will be part of the cur-

the Prix de Paris contest had to an-
swer six sets of questions/on fashion
and style. Less than half the en-
trants finished the competition.
Helen Hartman told of her surprise
at winning the second award: “Dur-

On the eve of graduation we imagine that most seniors look back
on their college years and wonder how far they have gone forward, and
whether they are better fitted for practical life than those who have not
had what is called a liberal education.
The question that outsiders are
likely to ask and that undergraduates occasionally -ask themselves is
what good it.will do; more particularly, why they have majored in a
subject that will not be useful to them when they leave college.
The advantages of a liberal education have been often discussed by
writers, who speak of knowledge as an end in itself. The mistake that
we often make is to think of it as having some othey end, of entitling us
to some material benefit.

most individual experience we will
ever have, we must not think that it gives us A claim to more than a
personal satisfaction. We will never again be given problems that can
be attacked so independently, we will never again be put in the position
of working entirely for ourselves.
The end of knowledge is not its usefulness but the feeling of self-
expansion it gives, and it is the same feeling whether one has majored
in Latin or Politics. The purpose
of coming to a college like Bryn
Mawr is not to fit us for life but to prepare us, and the reason that
people still go to liberal arts colleges is that they understand that pre-
paredness should come before fitness.
As soon as a college begins to
think in terms of fitness, the whgle idea of knowledge for its own sake
is threatened. The seniors who graduated today are part-of this id

less’ seekers after individual freedom;
it was when freedom of the individual
was unduly threatened that the colo-
nials revolted from the mother coun-
try. They brought from England the
great ideals of freedom of conscience,
freedom of the press, freedom of opin-
ion—their precious heritage from cen-
turies of: struggle, bought with blood;
‘, and these ideals they. embodied in their
fundamental law as the very bulwark
of their constitution. Between the
two -alternative fundamentals upon
which efficient government may rest—
on the one hand, maximum state au-
thority, completely gapreme over the
lives of the depen@ént subjects, and on
the other, maximum individual free-
dom restrained by a government of the
people, by the people, and for the peo-
ple—there can be but one, choice for
America,
Dedicated to Equal Opportunity
“Third, America must always stand
for human democracy. I do not mean
a siding with the nations of one po-
litical faith against those of another.
I mean that. the American Govern-
ment must be a people’s government,
existing not to forward the fortunes
of an aristocracy of rank or of wealth,
but to work in season and out of sea-
son to improve the lot and raise the
standard of living of humble folk—
farmers and factory workers and
storekeepers. America must always
be dedicated to. full equality of op-
portunity, so' that native: talent and
native capacity may freely rise to the
top ~iyyespective of rank or wealth;
only under a government built upon
that principle can a people’s native
talent reach full development and
flowe?.-.--.-
“And how is the American spirit
to be interpreted in relation to other
nations?» With what eyes must a na-
tion which is tdlerant, which believes
in individual freedom, which stakes
everything upon democracy and a fun-
damental faith in human nature, look
out upon the tortured, fearsome world
in which we live today? What course
shall America set for herself in for-
eign policy? _
Decision: Law or »Anarchy
“During the past few years, and par-
ticularly during the.past few months,
events have taken place which chal-
lenge the very existence of interna-
tional order and, indeed, the very
fundamentals upon which alone a
Christian civilization can be built.
Territory has been invaded, homes
have been destroyed, property has
been seized, and innocent people have
been imprisoned and killed under no
shadow of right or possible justifica-
tion except superior brute strength.
The supreme question which we and
all the world face today is whether
or not we are to live henceforth in a
—world—of—law—or—a~world of interna-
tional ‘anarchy. is
“You see, it is a matter which goes
deeper than the conflict between de-
mocracy and dictatorship as*forms of
sover eign government. It goes deeper
’ than the conflict between liberal ways
- of life and regimented narrowly con-
stricted ones. .It is a challenge which
_ goes.to..the-very” roots “of “what” our
civilization holds megt precious. Na-
‘tions’ today are caught betweerl two
profoundly conflicting ways of life—}
on the one hand, the primal law of
tooth and fang, and, on the other, the
‘way of cooperation and moral re-
straint and human brotherhood. The
power of superior brute force will
always be immediately conquering and
temporarily profitable. But civiliza-
tion can be built only upon brain and
self-restraint. Dinosaurs possessed
‘enormous brute strength. But puny
man has survived the dinosaur.
“Civilization cannot be built except
upon ‘moral foundations. Mass kill-
ings, the taking of others’ property by
force, the flouting of the pledged word,
undermine and «threaten - all human
progress. Free men cannot tolerate a
‘world of lawlessness, for freedom is
built upon law. ;
“In & world torn between these two
fundamentally conflicting ways of life,

Wright, Buchen, Hoxton, and Shepard
Are Speakers At Last Day of Classes
May 12.—Taylor bell rang at 12.45
p. m.’after the last class and the sen-
ior speeghes began on Taylor steps.
The.speakers were Sylvia Wright,
Esther Buchen, Robbie Hoxton and
Helen Shepard. A new note of
modesty was apparent this year.
Sweeping statements abdut the unat-
tractiveness of the whole class re-
placed the personal self-depreciation
of last year’s speakers,
Sylvia Wright, chosen ‘to speak ‘be-
cause she missed a class meeting at
which, ‘she said, “all the funny people
declined the job,” began with an
analysis of the seniors as a group.
As freshmen they arrived with. braids,
which have since been changed to
mangy page-boys. Their skirts have
lengthened and rump-sprung, they
have put on weight, fewer of them
‘tre engaged than ever before.
Continuing the analysis hall by hall,
she found in Merion dogmatic realists
and conscientious objectors. In Den-
bigh there are blondes and redheads
who take life seriously and a group of
business managers, in Rockefeller tall,
thin, pre-Raphaelite Duncan dancers
and hard-bitten career women. Pem-
broke East has a group of dirndls,
a group who speak pidgeon French
and some ushers in Goodhart. It is
less easy to classify Pembroke West;
there are the healthy well-dressed
singers, one secretary-treasurer, one
modern dancer who cannot swim, one
song mistress, and one introvert.
Until this year, the speaker pointed
out, nobody fought (urisuccessfully)
for French toast on May Day, nobody
criticized their own Lantern, nobody
danced so many extra times with
hoops around Goodhart, and nobody
asked for salt cooked with the food.
And on the other hand, nobody could
have so little to offer employers. “We
are,’ said Sylvia Wright in bell-
like tone, “a group of droops.”
Esther Buchen spoke briefly and
bitterly in front of Dalton, the dark
blot on her life. She described her
feeling of kinship with the-unscienti-
fic: sisterhood to whom a rock is a
rock and not a mangle of manganese.
To these she said, ‘Remember, the
scientists are pleasant people, but not
like us. Dalton is a cross which un-
dergraduates must bear.”
In front of the gym, Helen Shep-
pand, after making clear her own
detestation of things athletic, broke
into song. It is the athletic song’ oF
the Class of 1897.
We drive our wheels, we ride and
swim, in basketball suits we look
trim
And ‘ihoueh we should break every
limb, we get high -credit in the
gym.
Oh, we are not conceited but, in every-
thing much ice we cut—
We're the finest type of the twentieth
century woman!
' At the library, Robbie Hoxton in
her slow southern way said that 1938
was a “scroungy” class. “And small
wonder,” she added, ‘‘when they ‘have
been suffering the longest with library
degeneration disease, which affects
everyone sooner or later during their
four years.”
Examining her own case _ history
she recalled the trouble of freshman
year. At that time she thought such
a Gothic building as the library would
be above plumbing facilities. Later
she became more blasé, started “doing
the shelves” as entertainment while
tudying. Another habit developed at
his period was. the upsidedown atti-
tude, both physical and moral, so com-
mon to us all. But the great change
came into her life when she came
across Freud, purely accidentally.
Since that time all has been clear
sailing except for the annoyance of
open-mouthed gum-chewers and bell-y
braceleters.
After the speeches, Mary Sands,
1988 : class president, - presented
Laura Estabrook, 1939 class presi-
dent, with the hat, spoon, and knife
of office. ‘The ceremonies closed with
the class songs and the college anthem.

millions of humble American homes,
|from country villages, from city slums,
from farms and ranches, from south-
ern.log cabins and western mining
camps. It is what must come from
the.hearts of people who for genera-
pns have believed in tolerance, in hu-
man freedom, in democratic brother-
hood.
“This feeling for peace goes deeper
than mere desire. The profound con-
viction is growing that world peace is
something that can be won. It can be
made a_reality, for which, we are now
beginning to understand, peoples must
plan and build and struggle and some-
times die. And in this feeling I be-
lieve there is profound truth. It must
be won by thought and toil and strug-
gle. Under a rule of tooth and fang,
stable peace can never be won, for in
a world where might alone is supreme
every shift of strength must mean
new outbreaks of war. Stable peace
cannot be had except it be built upon
@ rule of law....
“In spite of the war aloud which
hover, threatening ob over our
world today,_in. spite..ofour--disillu-
sionments and discouragements, I be-
lieve that during the past twenty
years we have made real progress by
gaining a truer understanding of the
foundations upon which stable peace
mist rest. We have learned/much.
Peace Must Come From Within -
“We know now that stable peace
cannot be won overnight by mere
treaties or legal documents. Peace
cannot be imposed from without but
must grow from within; it is the fruit
of long experience and-often- of suf-
fering.
“We have-learned that stable peace
cannot be won thtough. war. The
world is not, quite as simple as that.
Things of the spirit cannot be won
through ‘brute force. If we have
earned nothing élse since thé dhys|
of the Versailles. Treaty. we know, that
peace to be enduring must be “Auilt
upon justice and upon full consent—
not upon superior force. That is
what. President Wilson meant -by
‘peace without victory.’

“Lasting peace can come only
through the understanding and self-
denying cooperation of nation with na-
tion. This, too, is not a matter of
mere formal organization but a thing
of the spirit.
“To be sure, the problem of organ
ization is of the utmost importance.
The League of Nations has provided
us with significant experience in the
field of international cooperation.It is
marked with failure as -well as with
success. But even through its fail-
ures the world has learned—and is
learning. Stable peace can never be
attained except through persistent or-
ganized international cooperation; and
whether this be gained ultimately
through the League of Nations, per-
haps. with modified functions, or
through some other form of interna-
tional organization, it must come if
our civilization is to endure... .
Peace Drive Becoming Saner
‘“These truths we are slowly learn-
ing. The movement for peace through-
out the world is growing. all the time

flabby. I.venture to say that more

Athletic Credit to be
Given for Modern Dance
. Continued from PRage-One—<
purpose of the first was simply to de-
termine how many., undergraduates
thought that modern dancing should
be includéd among campus activities.
Every hall but Denbigh voted strongly
in the affimative. The second, more
specialized petition was to find out
how many people would actually take
such a course if it were offered. Al-
‘though at that time no credit was to
be given, 80 undergraduates signed
up for it. This-is not only a larger
group than the one this spring, but
does not include potential members
from the new-Class of ’42, ‘“
No teacher has been definitely
chosen as yet. Ethel Mann, the presi-
dent of the Dancers’ Club this year,
will make the selection, subject to
Miss Petts’ approval. She must have
had at least five years of successful
experience as_a teacher in the field
of modern dancing.
Two classes of 45 minutes each will
be given in the new course, one for
beginners and one for advanced stu-
dents.
Distrait Senior Tells
Of Philosophic Dream
Continued from Page Two
‘They call it that this year and
next year and last year and the other
year.”
“If infinite, no argument,” said the!
Dogman, “Meanwhile, it is true that
more and less concern quantity.”
“Quality,” shrieked the Noman.
“Extensity,” piped the child.
“Why don’t you draw a diagram,”
I suggested, fearing that they might
upset the tea table in the intensity
of their excitement.
They labeled it ‘Comprehensives,”
and I will draw it here for you. They
drew it on the tablecloth in indelible
ink, the thoughtless creatures. The
housekeeper thought washing futile
and instead dyed the rest of the
cloth to match the diagram. So, you
see, the original is no longer visible,
and I will have to rely on my memory.
It was really pairs of words written
underneath “Comprehensives”, thus:
(not exactly my idea of a diagram.)
Comprehensives
_ quantity quality
léss: more
_ intensive extensive
yes no
(They put in the last pair because
they agreed that it was the basis of
all discussion.) The problem, they
said, was to draw lines connecting the
right words. Should a line go from
“ves” to “quality,” and from “no” to
“more,” or what.
I left them as they crowded around
the diagram, pushing each other out
of the way in their eagerness to
settle the problem.
national and international problems
that close us in on every side are
largely the. direct result of material-
ism. The only direction in which I
can see hope for reaching permanent
solution—is the way of Christianity.

PROFESSIONALS WILL
- PLAY IN GOODHART
Mrs... Kimbrough Wrench, director
of publications, and Mrs. Sophie
Jacobs are sponsoring two plays to be
given in Goodhart Hall by the Federa
Theatre on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, June 16, 147 and 18; Eugene
O’Neill’s S. S. Glencairn will be given
on Thursday and Friday, and A Moral
Entertainment, a comedy by Richard
Maibaum, on Saturday afternoon and
evening. The latter is‘a new play; its
setting is a New England town in the
Puritan days when theatrical per-
formances had to be done under the
title of a lecture or moral .entertain-
ment; the plot is built around the
coming of a band-of players.
The cast for the two plays is com-
posed of professionals who have ap-
peared on Broadway or were formerly
in the movies. Tickets may be pur-
chased in. the Publications Office.
The prices are 25 cents to one dollar
and 10 cents for the evening perform-
ance and 25 cents to 83 cents for the
matinee.

term bill for the cost of a. yearbook.
During the past year the financial
strain of trying to obtain enough ad-
vertisements has been heavy. The
yearbook receives none of the large
advertisements from cigarette com-
panies and Bell Telephone, which. an
organization like the News receives
automatically. All the ads in the
book are from small stores in the
vicinity, or from charitable friends.
This year, the business managers
pointed out, every student pays at
least two dollars towards the year-
book in Self-Government, Undergradu-
ate Association, and class donations.
Many pay more through club dues.
In addition about 850 undergraduates
pay three dollars and 25 cents for
their copy of the book.
There were two other suggestions
for billing the yearbook. - First it was
suggested that the yearbook and per-
haps subscriptoin fees for the News
and the Lantern be included as an
obligatory fee under Self-Government
and Undergraduate Association dues.
Mrs. Collins pointed out that some
colleges had a special senior charge
which ineluded the cost of the year-
book and-—caps and gowns and the
graduation fee. ~
Miss Ward said that students
wanted the reading period to catch up
in work, and not to do new work.
An extra week for a reading period
would lengthen the college year by
somewhat less than a _ week, since
Commencement could be moved back
to Monday. Further discussion was
postponed until the senior question-
naire on comprehensives is completed.
Miss Park asked for suggestions
for curing the lag often felt in work
in the junior year. Proposals in-
cluded: a junior thesis, or honours.
work running through both junior
and senior years. Miss Schenck be-
lieved that one great advantage of
the junior year abroad was that all
required work had to be accomplished
before then. Others felt that trial

nual bonfire jubilant seniors cremated
an accumulation of papers and trash
from the last four years. Snake danc-
ing and barbaric shouts accompanied
the sacrifice. «
- The ground near the blaze was
white with the papers which, had
missed their aim, chiefly lecture and
reading notes from required courses.
Some seniors broke completely with
their past, disposing of every. note
taken in college and every paper writ-
ten. One senior, who has. saved all
her major notes, contributed her great
comprehensive review of reviews of
reviews to the conflagration.
The bonfire was cheated of some of
its lawful prey. Many bits of unat-
tractive junk have been givén to low-
er classmen to cherish: with their
hoops, while some of Bryn Mawr’s
notorious rags were diverted from the
flames into the League’s old clothes
boxes, .
Besides the conventional notes, other
more spectacular reminders of college
careers. joined the conflagration. It
is rumored that the senior most re-
sponsible. for the hoop furore burned
two hoops. In voodoo sealer: a his-
tory professor carved from a yellow
candle was sacrificed in effigy.
A white choir dress, after four
years’ service, was burned by its
owner who plans a future in feminine
fashions. One brave senior has put
away childish things by cremating the
flattened baby pillow she has had ever
since she was born. A German r1ifa-
jor disposed of her soiled-and tattered
dictionary which she has used for four
years at breakfast and late vigile ‘in
the smoking room.
Impromptu singing followed as the
fire and the smell of burning wool and
feathers died away.
mester’s work.would be a practical
help in the real comprehensives.
Orals were criticized for not ac-
complishing. their intended purpose.
Miss Schenck felt that if passing the
orals was required before junior year,
professors would assign reading. in
foreign languages in many of their
courses. Miss Thom pointed out that
assigned German reading in History
of Art was just as hard whether the
oral had been passed or not.
Another suggestion was to require
every student to do something in her
major subject necessitating work in
a foreign language. Some wished
that orals be required only of cer-
tain majors. Miss Schenck promised
that next year every student taking
French Reading should be given some
reading in her major subject.
The record library will probably
be housed next year in a room in
Rhoads Hall. A five dollar initiation
fee is being considered because the
maintenance cost is considerable, Miss
Park suggested applying for one of
‘|SCIENCE CLUB PICNICS
WITH DALTON FACULTY
May 23.—Thanks to Mr. Watson’s
landlady and to a belated appearance
of the sun, the Science Club picnicked
and played baseball under a clear sky
int a fields full of daisies, clover and
wild geranium. . While men faculty
and students played baseball in mixed
nines, women faculty, faculty wives
and unathletic undergraduates sat on
blankets and cheered or talked.
In the baseball game the only spec-
tacular playing was by Mr. Michels,
who had a tendency to dive head-
first for base. Batting grew wilder
as dusk thickened, but the game went
on until 8.380, with an intermission’ for
supper,
The food committee in time pro-
duced 120 frankfurters; 10 dozen rolls,
15 pints.of potato salad, gallons of
tea.and 12 dozen cups of ice cream.
The: frankfurters. were. fried over a
miniature campfire, and 45 plates of
salad almost hid the Cope’s car.

distress.” Miss Stapleton, however,
succeeded in giving her the correct
Bryn Mawr version by the end of the
year.
Abbie was on the News Editorial
Board in ’36-’38 and the last year was
News Editor. In her senior year she
was also elected vice-president of Self-
Government Association, having been
a member of the board the year be-
fore. She represented the Biology De-
partment in the Science Club and had
a part in the Dramatic Club’s one-act
plays. Although no swimmer, she has
not been completely unathletic for
she did succeed in making the tennis
squad.
When asked about Big May Day,
Abbie said. she had enjoyed it greatly
herself, but that the system of com-
prehensives would make it absolutely
impossible in the future for seniors
to take any part in the affair. This
would necessarily limit the size of
May Day which she believes should
probably be done anyway.
As for comprehensives, she con-
siders them good in theery and thinks
that they would be good in practice if
students were thoroughly organized,
and had done _their-work with a more
mature outlook. As long as cram-
ming is necessary as it was for most
seniors this year, Abbie suggests a
longer period before exams in which
they could not only study their notes,
but also organize their material com-
prehensively.

Class of 1932, and other alumnae and
friends who donated. the new wing,
and introduced Alice Lee Harden-

The Final ‘Lantern’
Continued from paren
mon sense.
Of the-verse I have iittle to say
being by nature, or experience, preju-
diced against the use of free verse by
amateurs. Few are, in my opinion,
successful in that most alluring and
difficult form of poetry. I advise all
would-be poets to try rigid verse
forms. They are less perilous, but I
admit to strong partiality and there-
fore to incompetence as a critic’ in
that field. The most successful
articles seem to me to be the essays.
Schisms in the Peace Movement, by
Joy Rosenheim, ’40; Looking at Mod-
ern Art, by Anna Poole; Twinkle,
Twinkle Little Sta’, by Olivia Kahn,
’41, are clear though somewhat ab-
stract and hard in style. Of course
such startling statements as “Human
society is never static,” “Too much
self-confidence may be dangerous for
fan actor,” “An artist is conditioned |-
both consciously and unconsciously by
innumerable external influences,”
came as revelations to the reader!—
and there are far too many of them.
Other statements such as the follow-
ing: “An. art should reflect the age
in -which it exists, and should, within
the limits of its medium, make its
contribution to contemporary prob-
lems,” need no comment but Dr. John-
son’s “I question it! I question it!”
Distinctly superior are the two lit-
erary essays, Improved Relationships,
by Elizabeth Dodge, ’41, and Vir-
ginia Woolf, by Ruth Lehr, ’41. Both
are rather too formal in composition,
showing rigor of school discipline, but
the somewhat rigid development has
proved excellent in many ways; both
are highly interesting, personal in
thought, subtle in analysis, and well
written. The staff of the Lantern
and those who write it must not feel
unduly ‘sad. I advise them to cheer
up and take things more lightly, less
self-consciously. A laugh at them-
selves and at others would, I think,
be a good panacea for their troubles. |}.

Continued from Page One
During a pausegin the singing some-
one called Betty was overheard ex-
plairniing that she had chosen beef
when.. picking the menu because, her
husband was a country doctor who
‘often got paid in chickens.
One lady who had five children rose
and took a bow because the one who
had had six was not there. Another,
in social work, had done a good deal
with birth control in a sett lement
house, and wanted her classmates who
had been boasting about «their chil-
dren to know that she “had been do-
ing something about it too.”. Joe, the
night watchman, came down the path
before the hilarity died down, and re-
marked, “Well, they like to come hack
to their old haunts.”
Other classes were also having re-
union dinners on campus. 1898, Miss
Park’s class; was in thg Common
Room, ’94 and ’95 in.the + oy 96

However, the Denbigh group was ob-
viously the most spritely. The rea-
son for this was perhaps the lady
with the Southern accent who told
them they had to be funny, because
it was “almost. their last chance ° be-
fore middle age came upon them. She
considered the packing of an umbrella
in her suitcase the first sign of middle
age.
In the thalls many of the older
alumnae reverted to. undergraduate
girlishness.
ters in college found them helpful, ‘to
judge from a conversation overheard
between two gr arpa ed ladies in Pem-
broke,
“She’s just had one,” said the: first.
“Where did she get it?”
“Why, her daughter told her where.

Continued from Page Ona
referred to Lin Yu Tahg, who objects
to the fact that before anyone .can
be a Christian he must admit, that
he is a sinner, and prefers the Chi-
nese idea that man is not-too bad
or too good, and God is reasonable.
“Tf God were reasonable,” Dr. Wicks
said, “we should still be hanging. by
our tails in the jungle.”
Class and .national struggles de-
velop because living in our own group
we are unconscious of other people’s
opinion. Our conscienceg are not safe
in our own group, and it is only when
we see the perfection of love that
includes the well-being of all people
that we realize our own shortcomings.
“There are too many reasonable peo-
ple in America, in the middle of the
road, reading Lin Yu Tang.”
When the éall for our best is frus-
|trated by the impossibility of. per-
forming it, “we must choose the way
that seems to lead towards. more
good than evil in the long run.”
Willingness is fundamental in reg-
ulating human desires. People are
always wanting things and have been
since Adam and Eve lived in the
Garden, “‘an environment as perfect
as any Communist ever conceived.”
Even God could not compel Adam and
Baccalaureate ©
Eve not to forego something forbid- -
den. God induces willingness in peo-
ple as a counter-attraction to our
natural desires, to give them em-
phasis. Then the soul helps the body,
and the body the soul, like “two oars
rowing a boat.”
“When you have children,’ Dr.
Wicks advised, “play and work with
them.” Children should have some con-
nection with the outdoor world, with
musie and with art. They should
have some creative thing to do alone.
“We must rely on good homes,” Dr.
Wicks concluded, “‘to offset the strong
pull of natural desires by acting as a
source of great willingness.”
Good-bye and good luck
to the Class of ’38! -

the memories—”
