BY DANIEL FRANCIS CLANCY
Full of ugliness and sorrow is this
life;
Disappointment, crime, poverty and
strife.
Those whom we hold dear, tomor-
row may die.
It's full of deceit, lust and hy-
pocrisy.
Oh! so many things on this earth
there are
To make life miserable, glass of

And, the one thing that battles me is
this:
The Idealists overlook all and find
bliss;
While the Realist, the fool,

POWER MUST LIVE UP
TO RESPONSIBILITIES
BY Morton Kominers

BY Morton Kominers
The only dictatorship that can
permanently endure is that of an
educated and enlightened public
opinion.
Whether power is acquired by in
heritance, personal initiative or pub
lie choice, it can be retained only
as long as it measures up to it's So
cial responsibilities.
Where the class struggle is carried
on with mutual intelligence, under
standing and respect, it can achieve
it's goal of happiness and plentiGude
for all.
Those who preach bloody revclu-
ton are as bad as those who preach
bloody tyranny, and both are as bad
as those who preach war.

of this public service is inevitable. If it comes the

Bancroft Hall where the future
admirals reside, wangled the fort
from the Army. Now he had the
beginnings of a school. But he
had no money, and Congress
wasn't giving any out at that
time.
But the Secretary found he had
the tremendous grant of $4,000 to
use on instruction. And so, from
this meager beginning, the Naval
Academy came into being.
The Secretary started by order
ing all civilian instructors ashore.
Regulations were adopted that
all midshipmen should have one
year at the Academy, then three
years at sea, followed by another
year ashore. Seven midshipmen
reported for duty that first year.
