...message than the results of these researches in the psychological workshop. We feel that soon the World Christmas Tree will gleam with its myriads of peaceful candle flames; at last peace on earth seems near. And yet we all hardly look forward toward such a holy night for warring mankind without the secret fear that unholy struggle may soon disrupt the peoples of the globe again, and that the new peace may be merely a truce. The hateful thoughts which have grown in these years of sorrow are so abundant that they will last and ruin the peace to come...

They simply will not believe that they could misjudge and maltreat their friends so grossly. The subtle power of our mind to forget will become mankind's blessing.

Surely, if our country were engaged in a life...
...regular armies of those countries engaged in the present war, have rendered to humanity a service practically inestimable by us who have remained at home and placed nothing upon the sacrificial altar. But we can, in some measure, show our appreciation for the service they have rendered mankind, their country and their college, by exerting our best efforts to secure for them a memorial service. We little know what they have given, and are yet more incapable of judging. Let us, then, do our best-to render them just honor and homage...
