fold of this workaday world into the
stable unchanging unity which holds
all partial truths together Is a uni
versity which points the way toward
view of the universe whose all-ir1-
cluSiveneSS will find proper place FOR
the approved results of science, the ac-
cepted teachings of philosophy and the
revealed doctrines of Christian belief.
81 venture the statement that the
peculiar contribution of this univer-
sity to American life will be found IN
the doctrines of the individuals worth
and Of his place in society which we
teach. Certainly, 1t is not to political,
economic or scientific theorists that We
are to turn for full elucidation of the
meaning of human relationships. The
spiritual, by its very definition, tram
scends the realm of science. Properly
ethical and religious thinker to say
what human personality means and TO
define the attitude of person to per"
son, group to group.
Democracy Defined.
eff our national life is to endure,
sound. ethical values must be estab-
lished. A democracy must be constantly
examining its conscience. Democracy,
is at bottom religious ideal: for
democracy is the political expression CT
the divine commandment of love, and
love is, in the last analysis, freedom.
The cause of truth is not served by
closing ones eyes to Christianity, nor
is the value of science and philosophy
enhanced by failure to take cognizance
of the position which Christianity oc-
cupies in the thoughts of millions. If
we are to build new world through
education, can it be constructed by ig-
noring those rules of action by which
Western civilized nations have lived and
live even today?"
