The opening day was marked by the
visit and address of President Warren
of Yankton college OF South Dakota,
who took as his subject, Some Grounds
for Civic Optimism. After ~prefacing
his remarks with some facts with
reference to the early history of the
two Dakotas, he stated that one of the
most encouraging things of the times
was the peaceful settlement of ma
tional disagreements by arbitration, in
cases where a few years ago war
would have been inevitable. We may
be thankful for our contribution. for
in the 100 years Of our life we have
devoted only five to war. We should
rejoice over the fact that our nation
has the ability of fusing all the in
coming peoples into one ~concordant
nation. In what land is there the
religious liberation that exists in our
midst" Another reason for optimism
is the rising yea for social and poll
teal righteousness. Who can help
but be optimistic as we see the Lead
ers awakening to the needs of our
country, such men as Roosevelt, Taft,
LaFollette, Bryan, Folk, and Wilson? ?"
