GRADS HEAR
IMRE KOVACS
History Should Be the Rope
to Ring the Bell of Future"
Speaker Tells Class of '46
EDUCATION FOR LIFE

Stating that he would like to be
a modern Paul Revere, riding to
tell Americans that danger is how
ering and urging them to do their
job to help make this a peaceful
world, Irme Kovacs, keen stu
dent of world affairs and authority
on Central Europe and the Bal
kans, addressed the members of
the graduating class and their
parents and guests on Wednesday
evening, June 5. In comparison
of the education of children in this
country and his education in Hun
garian, German, Serbian, and Rou-
manian schools he said that here
we are tapght to think, there they
are taught only to remember. Ours
is an education for life and theirs
an education for death. The Nazi
theology carried with it the seeds
of death; their concept of conquest
destroyed itself. He told the
youth that they had been taught
to live useful, dynamic lives Par
aphrasing a line from the Battle
Hymn of the Republic, he urged
Let us LIVE to make men free" +"
In, Europe the nations look back
ward instead of forward; this
nation is so busy making history
that there is no time for looking
backward. History, he said,
should be the rope to ring the
bell of the future" He commend
ed the system of education here
that provides for research and al
lows the student to think for HIM
self. Our education provides
knowledge to rule, the European
one teaches them only to obey.
The use of praise for work well
done by children he said created
incentive; whereas criticism kept
them on the defensive. Build
bridges of brotherhood" the speak
er urged, rather than fences
that divide" America is human
ity at its best; we have the mixed
traits of all races. OF those in
this country who are trying to in
ject the diseases of Europe he
stated that we should treat them
as worms and destroy them. He
deplored the erection of fences of
social discrimination, and also
said that one tragic fence is that
of the status quo; he commended
impatience with the status quo.
This is the age of gestures; the
Nazi gesture was that of conquest;
Americas gesture is to lift up, to
share, to extend the loving hand.
Education for life is education for
survival, and he advised the grad
yates to build bridges of coopera-
ton and good will.
