that We today take up tbe work ~
our fathers and carry it 81 to the
end
He said that the whole past, an Of
the worlds greatest thinkers, those
who laid the foundation of our
civilization, crowds down upon us
from without and the ideals and am-
billions and aspirations Of our fore
fathers appeal to as from within, and
it behooves us to measure up to those
ideals and ambitions and carry on the
work which our .forefathers started.
DR.. Combs took occasion to touch
on the League of Nations covenant,
declaring that America was choosing
a policy of national isolation and
selfshness rather than one of inter
national relationship, and declared
that this course would ultimately
come to grief. He said that we were
building wall around US by our
persistent refusal to enter into the
covenent of the league of nations;
that China was not even building
walls in this day and age, and that
the day would come when this wall
would perish and crumble and Amer
lea would then pay the price of her
selfishness and smother in her own
stew.
In closing DR.. Combs paid loving
and tender tribute to the mothers and
fathers who sacrifice and toll and
work that their children may receive
the advantages of an education. He
said that he never looked upon q
graduating class but that he thought
of the sacrifices made by parents tC
realize the occasion of graduation. He
said mothers had paid the price. Dur
ing this part OF his discourse NJ
spoke in solemn and intimate way
which pulled at the heart strings Of
the large audience which filled tbs
auditorium. s..5fa
