Fall Prayer Week Opens Tonight Cine a titer Sunset Tonight 5:48 Volume XXXIV UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, OCTOBER 14, 1960 No. 3 Pease To Head Week Of Prayer "Things That Matter Most" will be the theme for the fall week of prayer at Union College to be conducted by Elder Norval P. Pease, Oc-' tober 15-22. Elder Pease, chairman of the department of applied theology at the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary, Andrews University, plans to arrive today. From that time until his departure, appointments can be made for private consultations with him. Tonight Elder Pease will conduct the evening service. Sunday through Thursday the evening meetings will be at 6:40. Before the daily chapel service in the church, prayer bands will meet each morning at 8:45 in class rooms, dormitories, and the library. Dr. G. L. Caviness, academic dean, urges all students to join the closest prayer band at that time. During this week of soul search- ing and spiritual rededication, each morning class period will be short- ened ten minutes to give the speak- er adequate time to develop his themes. Elder Pease will be assisted on the platform by various faculty members. The music department will furnish specials throughout the week. Elder Pease has accepted many responsibilities in the past in serv- ing God's cause, including the pres- idency of La Sierra College from 1954-1960. Elder & Mrs. Pease have a son, 25 and a daughter, 12. (See class schedule page 3) In This Issue 1. Looking Ahead, page 2 2. On the Spot, page 2 3. Check-out Check-up, page 3 'V Elder Pease Rain Fails To Dampen Campus Day Frolics Rain and dreary skies failed to dampen the spirits of Unionites during Campus Day frolics held last Wednesday. In a typical dorm-village football game'the dorm dumped the village by a 34-13 score, in the main event of the day's activities. A soccer game was played earlier. Other activities held included volleyball games, tennis and bad- minton. A carry-out lunch was served by the cafeteria. Regular school activ- ities resumed in the afternoon. The campus Day was under the direction of the recreation com- mittee headed by Tony Latessa. New Organ Pipes Installed OVERTONES - Dr. Melvin Hill discusses the intricacies of a pipe with Wicks authority. Jackhammers and construction crews will be replaced by students, teachers, and a new Wicks Pipe Organ in Engle Hall by Nov. 10, accord- ing to Dr. Melvin Hill, professor of music. Costing $17,000.00, the Wicks organ is one of the best organs made, Dr. Hill said. It has two keyboards with twenty-four tone ranks, or twenty-four different sound ranks. Jackhammers have been used to knock holes in the brick walls. Crowbars, hammers, and saws have been used to tear out the old floor. Due to the weight of the organ a reinforced concrete floor has been poured. Five thousand dollars has been spent on remodeling the recital room, where the organ is being installed. Tile has been put on the ceiling, the walls are paneled, all the woodwork has been redone, and new light fixtures have been added. According to Dr. Hill approximately thirty students will be under the direction of Miss Opal Miller, assistant professor of music and in- structor. This is the first chance that Union College students have had to receive instruction on a pipe organ. The Wicks Organ Company has designed this instrument for the college and will do all the installation of the console and pipes. Due to the large size of the organ, it will be brought to the room in pieces and assembled there. November 10 is the tentative date for open house at Engle Hall. There will be a demonstration of the organ; everyone is invited. Many people have asked why the organ is being installed in the music building and not in the church or school auditorium. Dr. Hill says the purpose of the organ is for instruction and recitals. It would not be convenient to have it in either of the other buildings. The cost would also be greater. After School Me Plans Zo Ketire . . .Sells Over $15,000 Senior religion major Jerry Schneli sold $23.50 an hour this summer for an unofficial student summer record of $15,109.50, ac- cording to the Kansas conference. Approximately 70 per cent of these colporteur sales were for cash. This year during "Big Week" Jerry sold $1750 worth of books and magazines. The best selling combin- ation, according to Mr. Schneli, was a set of Bible Stories, the book Your Bible and You, and a three year subscription to Life and Health magazine. His biggest sales record for one day last summer was $750. Emphasizing to your self the pos- itive approach is the most impor- tant part of selling. "Expect to sell," Schneli says. In order of descending importance he adds these two points: "hard work and exper- ience. I never go to a place without expecting to sell; if I didn't think I was going to sell I wouldn't stop he says. "Of course I never pass anyone by." Averaging nine and a half hours of work each day, Schneli "knocked on doors" 643 hours in western and central Kansas this summer. He says that this program left him only one day to pack his things be- fore coming back to his fourth year at Union this year. When asked what kept him go- ing toward his final total, he credited a goal. After he had sur- passed his last year's total of some $8000 he aimed for the $15,000 mark and didn't relax until he had reached it. In fact he sold the last $400 after four o'clock the Thurs- day night before registration. Although he is not aware of any baptisms for which his work is directly responsible, Schneli rec- ognizes the colporteur work as a missionary endeavor and often re- ferred names to the local district pastor.

Public Relations Seminar To Be Held Here Oct. 26 -Nov. 2 To obtain a new vision of the importance and meaning of public relations in the work of the church, a Public Relations Seminar will be held on the campus of Union College October 26 to November 2. The fourth annual Public Relations Seminar directed by the General conference Bureau of Public Relations is co-sponsored by Union College, Andrews University, and the General conference Department of Edu- cation. It will be under the supervision of Elder E. W. Tarr, of the General Conference PR Department. President D. J. Bieber reports topics to be covered will include congregational public relations, communications, photo journalism, fund-raising, visual aids, commun- ity relations, research and motiva- tion, advertising design and layout, effective exhibits, and creative thinking. Elder Tarr will be assisted by H. B. Weeks, of the GC PR depart- ment; Cyril Miller, Southwest Union PR secretary; L. H. Nette- burg, Northern Union PR secretary; and W. A. Howe, Central Union PR. Guest speakers will be outstand- ing lecturers in the communica- tions field from Nebraska univer- sity, Kansas City and St. Louis. About fifty are expected to attend from the Northern, Central, and Southwestern unions. Academic credit of two hours may be had for those wishing to register for it. Potomac University will grant two hours of graduate credit with the necessary prerequi- sites upon satisfactory completion of the course. Chemistry Department To Recieve Research Grants Totaling $25,000 Bio-chemistry research grants totaling $25,000 will be received from the National Institute of Health, states Dr. Rene Evard, assistant pro- fessor of Union College's chemistry department. Applied over the next three years as $9,500, $8,000 and $8,000 re- spectively, the research grants will be used, as in the past, in continuing research in protein characteristics, in purchasing new equipment, im- proving lab facilities, and providing a limited number of jobs for chemistry majors interested in developing research and teaching tech- niques. Knowledge of proteins is neces- sary since protein is one of the es- sential constituents of all living cells. Research on this project was initiated by Dr. D. K. Brown former chemistry department head in his thesis at the University of Nebraska and furthered by Dr. Evard, whose thesis at Michigan State was on the same topic. Research funds of $1,000 were used recently in purchasing a frac- tion collector, and $1,500 will be used for a proposed purchase of a spectrophometer. The small space available for the research lab has limited the num- ber of student jobs, Dr. Evard said. The present expansion of the lab to occupy all the available lab space in the chemistry department will only slightly increase the avail- able facilities. A total of $14,000 has been grant- ed to Union College during the past two years. This year's new grant brings the total research grant for the five year period to $39,500, the largest chemistry grant awarded to any Adventist college to the pres- ent time, asserted Dr. R. Evard. Beware!! Hotrod You were lucky, Hotrod. When you roared down the campus park- way Tuesday night I almost got your license number. Fortunately for you I didn't, but if I ever do you'll find yourself down at the police station—that I promise! You were driving a blue 1947-51 Chevrolet or Plymouth and you were traveling at least 40-miles-an-hour, 25 miles more than the limit. Take this bit of warning, Hotrod. Whether you're a student at Union makes no difference to me. I'll still turn you in to the police—you're a potential killer and someone will have to stop you. A Student 12 Students Enrolled In Med. Tech. Course Twelve new students are en- rolled In the field of medical tech- nology this session as compared to three students last year, states G. L. Caviness, dean of Union College. The ever-increasing needs for personnel in this rapidly growing field will force a continued increase in enrollment. These needs take the form of job opportunities open to the successful students of med- ical technology, who takes more science than a pre-medical student and works with a doctor, groups of doctors, hospitals, or independent medical labs. Under the present program, the first three years comprising ninety-six hours are earned on the Lincoln campus. The fourth year of twelve months combined didactic and practical work is taken on the Denver campus. The student re- turns in the spring of his fourth year to receive his degree in med- ical technology on the Lincoln cam- pus. Gradeschoolers Move Into White House Because of enrollment increases, the "little red schoolhouse" on the corner of 51st and Bancroft Street has been added to the present fac- ilities of the Helen Hyatt Elemen- tary School. The old white house that form- erly occupied this lot has suddenly become a real "little red school- house" to accomodate 19 first and second graders who were crowded out of the elementary school this year. According to Principal Gerry Thompson, the old house has taken on a new interior and exterior. Nineteen pupils and their teacher, Mrs. Neal Rowland, are equipped with new blackboards, desks, tile floors and florescent lights. At this time last year the ele- mentary school enrollment was 263. This year the enrollment has jumped to 285. There are four new teachers ''trite' yearr -lMrs.^Vada Leonhardt, f Mlas Vlpjot Archam- beau, Mrs. Pollie Talley, and Mrs. Elsie Tyson, Also on!lhd staff iitbfl year Is Mrs. H. M.

CLOCK TOWER October 14, 1960 Campus Clatter Clarified ". . . Veiled "n a misty golden haze; These are the Indian Summer days." Thus goes Marie Bennett's tribute to this lovely interlude in the fall that we are now enjoying. It's alogether probable, of course, that by the time this appears in print we may be surrounded by cold autumn winds and temperatures, but for several weeks we've been blessed with true Indian Summer. It would seem to indicate that summer is hesitant to leave our beauiful campus. From one of the Rees Hall annexes comes word of a strange intruder. Recently Pat Phillips entered her room late in the afternoon to dis- cover the dainty (though somewhat muddy) tracks of some lost member of the animal family. These tracks stretched from the open window across the Hi-Fi. Assuming that the visior had now retreated, Pat proceeded to make herself comfortable—stretching out on one of the beds only to gaze into the friendly eyes of the neighbor's cat seated on the other bed. No comment was made about the muddy feet and the bedspread, but perhaps none is necessary. Some people have problems with cats and then other people have other ploblems—logical, isn't it? One might ask Carol Roth, Betty Hills and Penny Shell about the whereabouts of their set of measur- ing spoons in Foods Lab. It seems that someone turned on the dis- posal unit and . . . !! What was that major sports event recently? Oh yes, the World Series. We certainly hope that Bud Pollard's Qual grade doesn't suffer for Bud's being a Yankee fan. You wouldn't, Mr. Murdock, would you? Another World Series victim is Gary Gray the only male member on the library staff. Watching the World Series seems like a rather un-intellectual excuse for being late to work, Gary. Ingathering Field Day is long gone, but an occasional interesting sidelight continues to come to the fore. We understand that Joyce Anderson became the victim of one of those friendly canines one finds on every farm. We trust that she: none the worse for wear. JoAnn Cavin recently spent week in the hospital with a throat operation, but is apparently recu- perating rapidly. One of the newest fathers on our campus, Tony Latessa, very gener- ously passed out gum and candy to the fortunate people who had class with him. Congratulations to the Latessas. In reflection . . . How easy it is in the accelerated pace we maintain in college to be content with learn- ing as it is dished out in classes The Wise Man was apparently very conscious of this when he recorded the proverb, ". . . get wisdom and with all thy getting get under- standing." Understanding is a term with far greater meaning than that of wisdom. It goes beyond Algebra Daniel, Literature or Organic Chemistry to include honest think- ing—not mere rote learning—dis- cernment, love and a subsequent tolerance. With all of your getting, what are you getting? Looking Ahead OCTOBER 14-28 Friday - October 14, 9:20 o.m.—Chapel Speaker, Russell K.

If having a woman behind me is any criterion of greatness then there should be no dispute as to my future. Your editor has been prodding me constantly since before the now hopelessly past deadline. In discussing with her the content of this column, I discovered that it is to be full of sparkling humor, intelligent thoughts, and brilliant new ideas. To borrow a line from a now dubiously famous song, "what am I doing here?" Boy, aren't the Pirates taking a beating! As of today (Sunday) they have been beaten twice by at least ten scores. I don't mind rooting for the underdog, but this is ridiculous. The way Vern Law is pitching so far is seems that he's the only one that can contend with the Yankees at all. I wonder if he can pitch three games straight. Now that school is in full swing, This is a stupid student. A very stupid student. He is not informed about things because he spends his time indiscretely reading foolish, mad literature. He should read intellectual matter. He does not know that he should read the CLOCK TOWER. Should he not, little children? ON THE SPOT As Chile Sees US (This is the first in a series of on the spot coverages involving world communism. This column is written from excerpts of letters by Union College alumni now in for eign missions. Your opinions are solicited.) United States status with world government is highly important to the stability of our nation. Both politically and socially speaking, we are our reputation abraod. Democracy is pitted against Com munism for the domination of the world. Chile, South America, is not excepted as an object of commun- ist domination. According to Eunice and Everett Fisher ('53), "We do have a fil- tration of Communism in Chile, However, the county's geography is to its advantage, since it is on the western coast of South America.' Communistic inroads are made in the usual procedure by catering to the poor, common class. "The com- munist party pays citizens to vote for its candidates. They send trans- portation out into the country to bring voters in to the election free of charge. This has a big influence here, for much of the population is found in rural areas without means of travel except by foot, horses, or oxen." President Eisenhower's visit to Chile in March of this year best illustrates the attitude of the gen- eral public toward the United States. When a small demonstra tion took place during his visit and an effort was made to give honor to a picture of Fidel Castro, it was promptly squelched. Such demon- strations are rare and the general concensus is that the only help for the free world lies in what the United States can offer, the Fishers write. The average Chilean knows the United States by what he sees in the movies. In this respect we can say without reservation that Holly wood has done much harm to the United States. The films shown here," say the Fishers, "give the idea that everyone in the United States has money to spare, lives in a beautiful ,home, and has no moral standards .... Hollywood helps Communism gain 'entrance into these countries by picturing the U.S. as it is not." Politically, Chile is torn in a struggle between capital and labor. Physically and spiritually the re- cent earthquake has disrupted the (or at least should be) and the novelty of the situation has worn off, it's time we decide whether we will remain in school or return home. I hope that each of you has discovered that college is more than just a place for fun, recrea tion, and all the other things that faithful alumni of colleges and uni- versities speak of endlessly when- ever they get together. While in college many of the major decisions of life are made, many of your attitudes toward life and society are set. Here an impor- tant part of the training in your chosen field will be undertaken, and for some perhaps even the choice yet remains. But still, college 'is fun; it's fun to know that you've done the best you possibly can to earn that grade in Chemistry or any other subject, it's fun to know that the friends you have made here can be depended upon. It's fun to know that here Eire teachers and faculty members upon whom you can de- pend for sound advice and counsel in time of need, and enjoyable companionship in time of recrea- tion, it's fun to associate with peo- ple who think, act, believe, as you do. College is more than any one thing we can name, college Is made up of many parts, and each of these together forms the whole Without any one part the pattern is broken. This Is college as I see it, and as I see it you are a part of this great pattern, and without you that pat- ern is broken, but again, the break in the breach is not irreparable there is no indispensible man, not even a student, not even you. If you want to go home defeated that's your privilege, your right. No one can cram an education down your throat, or force you to learn anything. This is a privilege only you can satisfy. If your life is sat- isfied with the stage of develop- ment at which you find yourself congratulations; you have achieved something that the world's most brilliant men have struggled for and failed to achieve. Hf ty w«<, M Ouncekof Prevention... "Oh me!", thought Jim as he glanced at his watch. Five to one he'd be late for work five miles from the campus. As he ran out to his car, he couldn't help admiring it. Jim was justly proud of his new car, a graduation gift from his parents He had always wanted a 'spanking new' red Ohevy and here it was just waiting for him. Not many other freshmen had a new car to drive he noticed. ' As he turned the key in the ignition and started the motor he thought of the looks of envy he so often received while driving'the "hottest" car at Union College. He backed out of the parking space realizing he would really have to hurry. But the temptation to drive quickly past Rees Hall was just too great to resist. Besides there was a certain girl whose admiring glance he coveted as he drove past her window. With this thought in mind, he put his foot heavily on the accelerator and screeched past the buildings. Within seconds he was behind the girls' dormitory glancing up at her window, searching for a pretty face to appear as the dual pipes barked his presence But Jim, like so many others in their negligence and hurry, could not see what was just ahead of him because he had taken his eyes from the road. A small, freckle-faced boy of seven darted across the drive from behind a parked car. Suddenly, it was too late to stop as the car struck the child with a crunching, dull thud, chance. You haven't heard likely that you will. The boy had no this story? True, you haven't but its quite 'Did, youmKnoiv? country. According to Mr. and Mrs. Fisher, "Since the earthquake, our pastors. ... are kept busy taking care of the demands of the people. Wherever one goes it is easy to find people who are ready to talk ser- iously." The Fishers are presently teach- ing at the Seventh-day Adventist school In Chile and can be con- tacted by writing: Mr. and Mrs. Everett L. Fisher, Chile Col, Cassllla 7d, Chilian, Chile, S. A. The school year of 1960-'61 marks the 14th anniversary of perhaps the best known organization on the Union College campus, the Assoc- iated Student Body. Things have changed at Union since then, and the A.S.B. is one of the instruments that has helped shape and sharpen Union into a better tool for molding the lives of those whom she trains for service. One of the changes brought about by the A.S.B. that has helped both Union and her students is the Stu- dent Government. Being modeled after our own United States gov- ernment, the student government has a House of Representatives, made up of 32 or 33 members chos- en by the students, and the Senate, comprised of the faculty.Such a government gives the students and the faculty a chance to work to- gether for the betterment of the college. It also gives students and faculty members a better under- standing of the National govern- ment, thus fitting them to be better citizens. Another fine contribution to dev- elopment that has been provided through the efforts of the A.S.B. is the Student Center. To the busy student, the Center is a haven of rest and relaxation in those few spare moments between classes, and it is a fine place to cultivate and develop the social life of the stu- dent, too. This year, the A.S.B. is in the capable hands of President Gary Grimes and Vice President Ed Lamb. But, the success or failure of the A.S.B. is not entirely in the hands of these men. It is up to the rest of us as students, and members that make up the A.S.B. to see that this year shall be a year that is well remembered by students and staff alike as an outstanding year in the history of Union. The way we can make this an outstanding year is to whole heartedly support our A.S3. officers in their many duties and projects. We Were Wrong It has been brought to the at- tention of your editorial staff that last issue's lead story headline was misleading. The correction is ours; Union's highest enrollment, in '46- '47, was three hundred above our present enrollment. The exact fig- ure for the year was 1108.

Assistant Circulation Manager Financial Advisor December 3, 1960 CLOCK TOWER 3 108 Students Take Part In Operation Fireside by Jeriel Howard "They that be wise shall shine." With this challenging thought in their minds, the college MV mem- bers have become shining examples of youth—not just any youth—but Seventh-day Adventist youth, youth dedicated to doing their part in sharing their faith. The MV department, together with the College View Church has completed two weeks of the Opera- tion Fireside program. It is an in- spiring sight each Sunday evening to see 54 teams (108 members) meeting at the church for brief instructions and then leaving— Bible in hand—to go and tell others of their beliefs. The support from the community has been very good. Each week 54 homes are opened as lights in their neighborhoods. Some 200 persons come to hear these youthful "evan- gelists" as they give their Bible studies. Thus far some 30-45 non- Adventists have been reported in attendance each Sunday evening. The participants are inspired by their effort. They all return to their dormitories feeling as though they have helped to do their part. Their comments show their reac- tion: "My, that was wonderful! I think that I got a greater blessing than the guests did!" "I wish that I could go and give another study right now." "Nothing has ever made me study and review my own con- victions as this project has." Dick Manuscript Burned in Desert An automobile fire in the Mojave Desert in southern California last month destroyed part of the manu- script of Stranger than Fiction, the latest and still unpublished book by Dr. E. N. Dick, research professor of history at Union. Dr. Dick's son and daughter-in- law, Mr. and Mrs. Donald Dick, were driving their 1960 Volkswagon micro bus through the desert the night of September 9 when the car caught fire. All personal belongings in it were destroyed. Mrs. Dick was taking a longhand portion of the manuscript to their home at La Sierra College, where her husband teaches speech. She was to type and prepare it for the publishers. According to Dr. Dick, Stranger than Fiction is a collection of un- usual early pioneer stories hitherto unpublished. He has been working on the book for five years, and he has no copies of many of the des- troyed stories. He plans to find new experiences to replace part of the lost ones and to rewrite those for which he still has information. The fire broke out when Mrs. Dick was driving and Donald was sleep- ing in the back. It spread so rapidly that they were unable to save any- thing but what they were wearing. They were returning to La Sierra from graduate study at Michigan State University. SKINS OFF - A squirrel losses his hide to students Dick Pollard and Beth Wells in a Tuesday afternoon lab. Rubber gloves are in order for squeamish class members. Mammal Specimens Collected For Laboratory Examination In leap year, most girls don't ad- mit they're trying to make a catch, but there are exceptions — and those exceptions are probably the female members of Mr. Perry's mammalogy class. Their prey, how- ever, is a bit unusual. Mice, rabbits, opposums, shrews, chipmunks, and • bats are the object of this intensive hunt. Each of the thirteen class members must have fifteen speci- mens for his laboratory work, in- cluding at least eight different species. Most of the trapping is be- ing done in Lancaster County with the lake at Pioneer Park, the wood- ed area of Jamaica Junction, and the neighboring farms rating as the most popular areas. The bait of rolled oats works quite well in the rat and mouse traps but Sylvia Dahl explains that she adds peanut butter "for a tast- ier treat." In early evening the traps are set and at 5:30 the fol- lowing morning, the UC hunters go to gather the gains of the night. Beth Wells caught something that none of the others have — her thumb—twice! But the biggest complaint regarding the outside as- signment seems to be having to go hunting in time to return for first- period classes; and the day Mr. Perry's car ran out of gas, they didn't make it by 7:30. Instructor Perry explains that the one-semester class studies the mammals of North America with special emphasis upon the species in this locality. The study gives valuable aid to control of disease- bearing pests and is helpful in gaining information on their habits, food, and usefulness of these ani- mals. Skull structure is the key to identification of the different spec- ies. The skins are cleaned with cornmeal and stuffed with cotton by the students. These students no longer grab that outside-reading assignment for their week-end trips home, but like Kent Hodson, frantically yell on Friday, "Anybody seen about a hundred mouse traps? I've got to catch up on my trapping while I'm at home." "ULTRASONIC CLEANING" Latest Method of Watch cleaning by Alberts Jewelry 4739 Prescott Open Sundays check-out Check-up According to the circulation re- cord 992 books were checked out of the Union College Library dur- ing the first three weeks of school. At iirst glance this may seem like a sizable number. Yet, does thio attest sufficient reading for ap- proximately 800 college students? Accrediting Associations require that the library keep accurate re- cords of the number of books and the types of books that students and staff check out. These people are interested not only in how much we read, but also in the kind of reading we do. Our college is judged in part by the reading habits of its students. One of the criticisms leveled at us in past years is that we do not use our library enough. Why is this? Is it that we are not supplied wioh adequate material? According to Miss Floda Smith, Librarian, there are approximately 63,000 volumes at our disposal. In addition to this new books are be- ing added every day. There are books available in almost every interest area. Out of the 992 books that were checked out during the first three weeks, almost 40 per cent were in the field of history. Probably the outside reading requirements in the history courses account for this large percentage. "One of the main reading prob- lems," Miss Smith said, "is that there is very little recreational reading done here at Union. Stu- dents do very little reading for en- joyment or for broadening the scope of their own interests." It is this type of reading that will, in the long run, produce "well read" men and women.

Shawver New Head At Boulder Sanitarium Los Angeles — Mr. J. Russell Shawver, formerly Assistant Ad- ministrator of White Memorial Hospital in Los Angeles, has accept- ed a position as Administrator of the Boulder Sanitarium and Hos- pital in Boulder, Colorado. Mr. Shawver is a graduate (52) of Union College in Lincoln, Ne- braska and of the Hospital Admin- istration Curriculum at the Uni- versity of Chicago. He received his Master's degree from there in 1958. Mr. Shawver has been at White Memorial for a year and a half. His wife is a registered nurse. The Shawvers have three children. Zke College View QUESTION: Why is it important for college-age young people to vote in Presidential elections? "I believe the college students should vote because he has respon- sibilities as a citizen to do so. To- day there are many young Ameri- cans who don't vote, and if the practice isn't urged now in the younger generation, in due time hardly anyone will put forth the effort to vote."

In the near future the college young people will be leading the country and must learn to make wise de- cisions now."

The nation needs to be strengthened by the new vision of her youth, and if they now help in setting its power they will ever be proud of calling this power their own."
