Green Bay, Wise. I'm his ad-
dress Dr. Frank said American leaders
and statesmen will some day refuse
to be mere instructed messenger boys
and the American people will be driven
back to the conclusion that the
basic principles of republic are the
soundest principles.
"America has slowly been drifting
away from a true republic toward a
democracy said DR.. Frank, after de-
fining a democracy as a government
of INSTRUCTED delegates" and re-
public as government of selected
representatives.
1.-THE basic idea of American gov
eminent was that of republic" DR.
Frank continued. "But we have been
slowly encroaching on the right OF
the leader to lead"
Taking as general subject the
requisites of an educated man, Presi-
dent Frank listed fourteen attitudes
that he thought should be expected
of a truly educated person. Among
them we're: An autocratic attitude
toward ancestral traditions, Republi-
can attitude toward government, q
scientific attitude toward discomfort
and a cynical attitude toward up
! lift combined with an aristocratiC
attitude toward work.
Swayed by Ghosts.
! f."Speaking of ancestral traditions
/ DR.. Frank said whenever any one lets
! himself be dominated by a political
party, religious sect or any other
social group" he is letting himself be
!; swayed by the. ancestral ghost of the
savage tribal rule"
He contrasted the. spirit of social
1 discomfort with that of scientific dis.
! content, characterlzlng the latter as
the spirit of the founders of the re.
public who recognized the right tc
criticize and the responsibility to ere.
/ ate. He complimented the people Of
! Wisconsin on the educational advances
| that had been made in the state, as.
i.serting they had realized that the com.
monwealth would be influenced by
catch words and rifed by special in.
terests unless there had been unit
/ ing of the knowledge of the state with
i the affairs of the state.
"The university is helping the PEG.
i pie of the state to a realization Of
what the. Greeks called the good life,
and which combines love, good will
and knowledge good will and love
divorced from truth spells disaster
land the university exists to bring
about union throughout the state
