Brandeis Milestone

THE DEDICATION of the recently completed Ro-

Brandeis University was event of major Importance
in the history Of American education
The fact that students will be encouraged to Wor-
ship at this house of God and at its Protestant and
Jewish counterpars in the process of construction

comprehensive at the Waltham institution
The true scholar knows that there can be no real
education in society that does not give the Creator
His rightf place in the thinking and affairs of men,
Unless the student can be made to understand his
mission EARTH and the transient nature of that mis-
sion he is bound to emerge from his studies in state
Of mental confusion.
There has been tragic evidence Of this in the con
duct of many alumni of famous colleges and universities
who betrayed their birthright and too often, their
country.
These misguided individuals were as warped as their
attitudes shabby the maerialsm they revered
false to themselves other people the teacherous
PHILOSOPHERS they devised or embraced.
Brandeis' sights are nigh-as high truly as the
timeested aim and aspirations of the Prophets whose
deathless teachings cannot be touched or tainted by
neeting Whims and fancies of quickly passing eras.

Many of these birds have

used on light birds and the
