It il the highest duty Of tho American scholar
In our new century to uphold not merely faith
In humanity, but also the special faith that
lead the world toward true conception Of the
Of man, that the new world has, In

balance of the old"
He closes with these ringing lines from
Browning. which can hardly be repeated
too often:
One who never turned his back. but marched
breast forward
Never doubling clouds would break,
Never dreamed, tho right were worsted, wrong
would triumph.
Held we fall to rise, are baf1ed to fight better,
sleep to wake.
