...social and moral, not materialistic. However much we may be concerned about the expansion of our South American trade, we are far more concerned about conserving the moral insights of war and of salvaging the social wreckage that forms in its wake. (2) Modern life overemphasizes the materialistic. Strong enough in any age, the magnetic pull of the almighty dollar is redoubled in this age of material expansion. Mr. Lazarus talks as if we heard nothing of money in everyday life. The function of the college is not to copy life, but to correct...
...people serves no good purpose. When the outlook is dark, as it now is, it should be known, so that our energies may be redoubled. This is the people's war.

We have business men who persistently oppose schemes for national saving on a large scale,-such as discontinuance of the purchase of non-essentials,-because it would injure their particular business. We have employers who refuse to give their workmen enough wages to maintain a decent standard of living. We have various over-rich persons in the community ignoring completely our government's plea for conservation. We have lawyers, politicians, and other men holding positions of public trust that are susceptible to advances by unscrupulous individuals. We have ministers who have...
