You cannot have missed Him. I charge you now to make Him pre-eminent in your lives." Dr. Rubendall said minds trained in the liberal tradition are needed at times likes these, when the country "is in danger of demagogues." He pointed to Mrs.

Mildred McAfee Horton, president of Wellsley College, as one of the victims of the times. He said Mrs. Horton's appointment to a government post was held up because there was fear that her position as a liberal might unleash the forces of demagoguery. He declared that the "excellent curriculum (of a Willard School) was designed to train your mind to cope with the complex problems of your day. You have minds that are free." But Dr.

Rubendall also told the girls that discipline and order is needed in the world, beacuse without it, "we could not live in harmony with others or at peace with ourselves." ii Youhg people have a divine right to be disciplined in order to have the privilege of the pursuit of happiness."

BATTIX ARTHUR D. REED DR. JOSEPH FULEP WILLIAM MEINCKE DEWET ADAMS ALBERTSALZMAN A. LINCOLN SCOTT said, "Where are we to acquire ntegrity? How are we to learn to ive together happily and harmoniously with others? There is no echnique to compare with the re- igious discipline.

The invocation and benediction was given by Rev. S. Edward Young, pastor of the church.

Wisdom in Old Saying. "Now, part of our basic difficulty is that we take ourselves too seriously, are uereft of any glimmering of fun, have never looked the mirror and laughed at ourselves. There is a let of homely, practical wisdom in the saying of an old Negro preacher: If you could jist sit on the fence and see yourself pass by, you'd die laughing at the To live happily and harmonious- with ourselves, we have to learn know ourselves; we have to try reason with ourselves; we have .0 be able to laugh at ourselves. To live happily and harmoniously others xve have to teach our- to see the amusing side of a situation; we have to cultivate a ense of humor, gentle, genial and unsoured.
