Value Of Symbols.
Judge Clemens said L.
symbolism has a prominent place
in the most vital affairs of life. In
our religion, the cross; in the most
important relation, the wedding ring.
and before that the betrothal ring. In
academic life, the seal of college or |
university, whose most frequent use
is purely symbolic rather than that |
practical use of attesting corporate |
acts for which it was first intended. |
And so the flag stands for great !
deal; yet it is not thing that one
can say much about, but the sight of |
ii on the right occasion can at once |
stir marvelously both heart and mind. |
When here in this court men of alien |
race enter upon new status, assume |
new relations, new duties of such i'm. |
pcrtance, it is fitting that there be
before them some visible symbol of |
the new allegiance which they are so
solemnly making. !"
