the Crusades and carried them out.
Then rivalries grew and competitions
set In. Protection became the para
mount need. And cooperation was
born. Loyalty to ones group, ones
craft. ones locality became factor OF
existence. It was out Of this medieval
loyalty that chivalry as an institution
grew. There were no kings to incite
such flowers Of the spirit, so these were
given to fealty among the d11erent
orders and classes Of men. But IN the
course of no very long time the need OF
direction and something of control be-
came pressing and obvious. And in this
dilemma, for it was such, there was but
single unit Of power in existence TO
assume such place of direction and con-

by the guilds were IN measure rele.
