Text From csrlyle's Journal.
Prof. Perry drew his text from Car
lyle's Journal
But what Is life except the knit
ting up Of incoherences into coher-
cncesl Couragei"
Our mortal task them said Prof
Perry, rs to bring order out OF chaos,
consistency out Of inconsistency
DIR. Perry delyed quite extensively
into European and American history
10 show that civilization was not yet
satisfied with the progress made. The
earlier part Of the eighteenth cen
fury came nearer being the golden
age than any other, he said, but even
then emotionalism and thought gained
new sway and the plaeidity Of life
gave way.
Some OF the issues raised BY the
war which has desolated Europe de.
mand still more unified and coherent
Americanisn," said DR.. Perry. 1T
is evident that we are not yet clear
about our own national purpose and
policy not yet ready for a real solid
arity Of action.
United States Not Yet United.
And IL the United States, after
l40 years Of welding, is not yet, in
the truest sense, united, what then
shall be said Of the tragic incoher-
ence Of those mother states Of Europe
from which all OF rs have sprungi
Is there any one so blind after these
two years Of international agony, as
not 10 see that world organization
has become necessary; world court
and world legislature, and some
form Of world executive TO see that
international law and international
judicial decisions shall be respected
and obeyedl
Il am not arguing at this moment
for the specific recommendations Of
the League to Enforce Peace in
which SO many Of US are enlisted. l
ain simply reminding you that any
American program for the perpetual
ton and popularization Of that war
system, which has brought Europe
into disastrous collapse, raises far
deeper issues than are involved IN our
own national security. We still have
an opportunity such as was never
granted 70 any nation, to help lift the
burden Of war from the shoulders Of
men and the hearts Of women every
where"
More Degrees Granted.
In addition TO those degrees al
ready announced, these we're con-

cises today.
