COOLIDGE FAVORS
MEMORIAL IDEA
Sees Inspiration for Future
Generations in Establish
ment at Schools.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April IA hitherto un-
published statement by President Cool
ide dealing with university memorials
appears in a book, Great University
Memorials" just published by the Uni
VerSity of Chicago. The statement
follows:
"One test of the civilization of any
age is the regard which it has for
the teachings of the past and the
opinion of posterity. The Greeks and
Romans had these in high degree.
Dante spoke of the future in the last
ing record of his great love Tor
Beatrice. Gothic cathedralS or the
middle ages still stand as reminders
of abiding reverence. the Lincoln
Memorial is built for the centuries In
the confident belief that generations
and generations yet TO come will prize
1t as a magnificent inspiration.
THE memorial idea is sound and
is sure TO grow as increasing oppor-
tunities present themselves. One or
the most encouraging signs Is the
tendency today to look u institutions
of higher education Tor menorial
sites. No more flttinS agencies for
this purpose can be imagined. For
universities are not repositories Oh
the dead.
They are more alive than the
market place; their eyes are not only
on the present, but on the past and
the future And the life within their
walls is always young and acquisitive.
To place your name, by gift or be-
quest. in the keeping of an active
university, is to be sure that the
name and the project with which II
is associated will continue down the
centuries to quicken the minds and
hearts of youth, and thus make a
permanent contribution TO the welfare
of humanity"
