1SE GETTYSBURG TIMES, MONDAY, JUNE 1961 PAOE General Lemnitzer Tells ROTC Crads Importance Of "Service, Leadership" General Lyman L. Lemnit- xer, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Sunday morning delivered the address at the commissioning of Army and Air Force ROTC graduates at Gettysburg College end awarded commissions to the graduates. His address follows in full: "It is a very great privilege to be with you today, is this particular place and on this very important occasion. Naturally, it is always a pleasure for me, as a native Pennsylvaman, to return to my home state. However, there are two reasons why my pleasure is even greater today.

"First, there is the chance to visit with your president. Gen-. eral Paul. It has been my privilege to know and admire General Paul, in peace and war, for fully 20 years--since we served together in the old General Headquarters of the Army in Washington in 1941. INSPIRATION, CONFIDENCI "Second, there is the inspiration and renewed confidence which it gives me to see this impressive sampling of the fine young men who will shortly be taking their places in vital positions of leadership in our armed forces.

"To the graduates who are about to be commissioned--and to the families and friends, who have so much right to be proud today--I offer my warmest congratulations. "I congratulate you on the completion of your course of study at this splendid "college. You have had the advantage of the instruction and guidance given you by the able and dedicated members of faculty and staff, and the benefit of the efforts of the families have helped to make your attendance here possible I am sure that the spiritual teachings that are an integral part of the curriculum, and the historic surroundings in which you have studied, have been a valuable source of inspiration to you. With this is the opportunity you have had to associate with people of the caliber of General Paul and the faculty and staff of Gettysburg College; while this advantage cannot be measured in any finite terms, I know that it has been, and will always be, of the greatest value to you. SERVICE, LEADERSHIP "For all this, I congratulate you.

But most of all, I congratulate you for what lies ahead-your opportunity for sen-ice and leadership I know that you have a full schedule today. Therefore, I want to keep my remarks brief. However, I would like to say a few words on these two very important matters--service and leadership. For many of you, the award of your commission will be followed by your entry into a period of active military duty before you go on in your civilian profession. For some of you, it will mark the beginning of a lifetime career as professional military men.

I want to mention in passing that I consider it most impressive that such a large proportion of your number--eight out of 5J--are planning on such careers. "In any case, for all of you this ceremony symbolizes a substantial achievement. You have mastered the instructional material which has been presented to you. You have shown that you possess qualities of leadership--and its essential prerequisite, which is character. These accomplishments, coupled with the thorough and comprehensive education you have received at this college, have provided the basis for your appointment as second lieutenants of the Army, Marine Corps, and Air Force.

In the words of your commissions, you have earned "special trust and confidence" in your "patriotism, valor, fidelity, and abilities." ESSENTIAL QUAl ITIES "These terms are not used lightly They define the qualities which are essential in any man who is called upon to assume the solemn responsibilities of military leadership Nothing less than these qualities is acceptable, because you are being entrusted with authority over the lives and well-being of your men "Never forget the obligation you owe them. They will give you obedience. You must give them the example and inspiration, and the unfailing thought, concern, and effort which justify that obedience. It is true that modern military science requires an officer to master many technical complexities, Thfc group was pictured at the Gettysburg College afutrmi dinner meeting Friday evening In the colltgt dining hall.

Never forget that your essential function as an officer--as a man placed authority over others- is 'eadership. and that leadership is justified only by rendering serace.

"This applies to every officer, in every grade. It is not limited to generals and colonels captains and majors Indeed, it has particular application to second lieutenants. This is so because they are the ones who furnish the immediate leadership to men at the basic operating In so doing, the function which they are performing in the complex and important activities which comprise the maintenance of our national security is absolutely vital. CHAL.ENGING DUTIES "In a few short months, many of vou will be actively taking up duties in this great task. You will find these duties challenging I am sure that you will also find them rewarding.

Whether you continue in active military service or enter the reserve components, you will be rendering a major service in support of your country and of the well being of your fellow Americans. And despite the attraction of material rewards, I can assure you that you will find the greatest and most lasting satisfaction of all in the meaningful service you render to others. In this task, you have been found qualified to occupy positions of responsibility and authority. Your commission is a recognition of these qualifications. However, I am sure you realize that beyond this, it is an expression of trust.

Now, as you commit the course of your life, is hardly surprising that a voice vithin should whisper- 'Lift up vour eyes unto the hills 1 "A second crucial choice con- Jronts you today: Whether to succumb to the temptation of ama- eur In mg the endless quest or the easy way. "It would be stupid and patent- impractical for me to say: Don't be 'an organization No one survives in industry today, or in politics or in society or even in the church, for that matter until he becomes an organization man. BASIC CHRISTIAN TENET "This isn't a reprehensible thing. Our climbers had to rope themselves together before they started up that dark Noun Wall. What is reprehensible is our contentment with the easy way, our search for the short-cut, the back road.

"A few weeks ago a junior executive of an electrical firm admitted to a congressional committee that he was fully aware of the illegality of the pnce-fix- mg sessions he had been delegated to attend. But, he testified, he was flattered to have been assigned such an important responsibility and un his own words it is eaMer to go along with policy than to question it. "May 1 offer you the basic Christian tenet for the organization man: Jesus said. 'By their fruits ye shall know You dare not let your character be molded by the organization which employs you. Rather.

ou must mold the character of that organization! LONELY TO LEAD "Putting it another way--one cannot separate his salary from his soul. Don't believe for one day that you are being paid simply for your knowledge and ability. If they have hired you, they have employed your whole self-your conscience and principles and moral convictions, as well as your technical skill. And in the emerging character of American free enterprise it will be these qualities as much as your business acumen which will prove your value to the organization. "There will always be some who seek the soft trail to success.

But brave men never go up the easy way. "I must warn you, friends, that there are moments when everything depends on you. Somebody has to lead. And he has to have the lonely kind of courage that lets him leave the others waiting and wondering while he goes on to show the way. "Christ said 'I am the way, the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the Father but by me Out of that utterance came the sacred slang of the apostolic age.

Men did not call Christianity a religion, a theology, a creed. They called it 'The "And The Way has always led around the bend from the known to the unknown. "You can't reach the summit of life depending on the faith of others. This is the great spiritual fallacy of our age We have built our religion too much on the instinct of the herd. We figure that being a Christian means being part of a group- professing what they profess, singing what they sing, pursuing the well-worn trails that they pursue.

"But if you could peer into the deep recesses of the hearts many who seem only part of the herd, you would find indelibly engraved there the memory a great Traverse a day when they discovered the true mean ing of faith by groping forwan into the unknown and planting their hopes and destiny in the promises of Jesus Christ. NOTHING MIGHTIER "Don't build your faith simpl on the convictions of someone else Don't be content with mere church membership and participation in the activities of a con gregation. Take your Christian heritage to the dangerous anc frigntemng moments of life-and when others hold back an wait helplessly, prove for your self and all men that Christian! ty is still The Way. "You might as well learn today--if you haven't already-that there are forces man can not control. To me it is the hoi lowest sort of egotism to believe that our education or intellec equips us to be masters of our destiny.

I cannot promise yoi that the storms of life wil go away with a prayer. But Today's Pattern can promise you that when ther are storms--you'll have nothm mightier than prayer with whic to face them!

BEAR OUR SHARE "There is little we can do to repay our debt to who have given us opportunity and blessing Little except to make our own share of sacrifices, and bear our own burden of risks for those who will behold the Mountain after we have climbed it. "History, my young friends, has its changing seasons, decades or whole centuries the green turns to grey, and bleakness and chill seem everywhere. It is hard to tell just when the seasons change but many would warn us that we are facing today another of the winters of history. "If this be true--if things are to get worse before they get better--your generation and mine must be equal to our time. That's why I want to remember the men on the mountain, and the amazing decision that brought them to the Eiger in winter.
