But today I am g lad tha t my p roposed societ y is not ye t in ex­ist ence and hence no such obstacle p revents m y expression of deep g r a t ­itude which I feel in the honor which my Alma Mater p ays to me today.

A wise educator once said th a t th e real t es t of a t eacher or of a group of teachers we call a college is the ability of such a college not only to im pa r t sound k nowled ge, but even mor e t o fi re its s tuden ts wi th such a quen ch less enthusiasm for such subjects as are considered worthy of attention tha t they desir e to con­tinue in those f ields as of perennial interest to th em.

has declin ed when and to the extent that it lost that vision. Only w ithin the r elat ively recent pas t has man ever attempted to make himself ex­c lusively the center of his life and now he ls r eaping th e full fruit of thi s d1sorder , this dislocation, the very foundation of his being. I s it any g r eat s u rprise then that the peace which he craves and wh1ch St. Augustine so aptly defines as the "tranquilllt y of order", should constantly elude him, that having but finish ed one suicidal s trife he should live constantly in the fearful shadow of another (whi ch by com­parison would dwarf the old sacri­fice ot' some ten or t welve millions of lives and countless billions of dollars In laboriously er ected signs of civilization)? A r ecent writer has graphically pictured modern man under the form of a human wolf wandering r estlessly over the desert that ls Western civilization today "hideously crying his hunger and thi rst for eternity."

Note bow at every turn this root disorder in man's very being has its devestating consequences. He finds threatened his ancient demand for political freedom which is such an essential part of his West ern culture antedating even Christianity ye t being reenfor ced by it in the Christian emphasis on the dignity of person . This heritage of political f r eedom from ancient Greece and Rome is no longer a reaJ ity today without e. measur e of economic f r ee­dom. He attempts to obtain that security only to f ind too f r equently that his impoverished spi ri tual out­look, entrenched greed , which has lost all conception of a brotherhood of man because it knows nothing of a fatherhood bf God bring his best effor ts to nought. Thus do millions live in the fear of destitution in the midst of a plenty fo r al l wh ich, ironical ly enough, for the fi r st time in histor y has been made possible by that inventive genius which is the f ruit of the very spirit within man which he never theless denies. The banquet is prepared but not all may sit down. Nor is the renunci­a tion of f r eedom in a dic tatorship any means of escape to security. It is not religion aJone that suffers by this con t raction of man's s piri t but every phase of his human existence and that because his r eligion is woven into every fiber of his being. Truly may we echo the thought of the Russian philosopher , Berdyaev: "'Wher e ther e is no God there is no man." Thus does our economic life take on that hard mechanical, r e lentless and utterly inhuman ap­pearance that bespeaks its affinity with decay.

Recently one of America's most p r ominent economists, in considering our present economic uifficuJty s till euphemisti cally known as "the de­pr ession" , center ed his discussion a­round the question, " Is capitalis m

The g r eatest bi t of for t u ne to befall St. Via to r in m a ny m oon s was th e a p pearance of '' Doc" Ellis on t he campus in t he fa ll of 1932. S incf' that ttm e, "Doc" has prob­a bly been one of the most ac tive s t udents here. His talent as a de­bater is known far and wide, and the b reach he will leave in the ranks of the debating society wi ll cer tain­ly be g reatly fe lt. H is ability as a lead er , however, is no t confined to t he platfor m alo ne, fo r h e has oc­cupied sever a l of the m os t importapt position s among t h e s tudent body.

''Doc's" pleasing per sonality won him a host of fri en ds, and h e will long be r em embered as one of the most popular m ember s of the class of ' 36. A lthough his antics a nd h is jokes have been more or less (no sarcas m meant ) a musin g, h e has .p roved himself to be a student of t h e highes t o rder.
