Gustavson Challenges Convo Assembly
To Transform Idealistic Principles
900 Students
For Academic
To transform the Idealism of to
day into the practicality of to
morrow is civilization's challenge
to today's youth, Chancellor Gus
tavson told University students
yesterday at the annual Honors
Convocation which recognized 900
students for academic achieve
ment. Speaking to an audience esti
mated at approximately 4,500, Dr.
Gustavson, after welcoming stu
dents and friends for an occasion
"to pay honor to students who
have carried out well the func
tion of a great university," raised
the question of "why are we
working at trying to understand
nature's great game of dice? Why
are we engaged in this interesting
and engaging activity?"
Knowledge Essential.
The answer is, Dr. Gustavson
stated, that we believe that if we
are fortified with this knowledge
we are gaining and if our intel
lects are sharpened we can go out
into the world to make it a better
place in which to live,"
Dr. Gustavson . pointed out the
ways in which the world is be
coming increasingly smaller, and
stressed the need for concern on
the part of everyone for the wel
fare of the entire world.
The Choice
Since man has learned to lib
erate energies that are capable of
destroying civilization, he accepts
one of two alternatives as spoken
by the moral order of the uni
verse: "Be good or be damned."
"The history of man is the his
tory of man's struggle for secur
ity," Dr. Gustavson stated. "Be
fore there was not enough to go
around. In recent years, man has
developed the power to create. He
has learned to make from natural
resources substances not found in
nature. Thus through the develop
ment of science it is possible for
everyone to have the securities
with the elimination of the
struggle."
Economic Equality.
"There is a command from the
universe to learn to share," the
chancellor declared. Economically
impossible? "It depends on how
you keep books," Dr. Gustavson
said, pointing out the great dif
ference between economic losses
that might arise from sharing and
the enormous costs of wars.
The chancellor urged the youth
cf today to put resources and
scientific advantages to good pur-

UN Backing:
The highlight of the chancel
lor's speech came when he urged
that the United States back fully
the UN as a means of preventing
future wars, and declared that
the League of Nations "died on
our doorstep" and that now, after
World War II and the formation
of the UN, "already we are start
ing to forget we are now stand
ing as the first to bypass the child
of our own construction." Dr.
Gustavson said that he favored
sending food to all the starving
countries of the world, but was
opposed to contributing military
aid in any form.
"We must learn to use the UN
in such a way as will build a
permanent peace. Idealism of to
day is the practicality of tomor
row we must take of the ideal
ism of the world and make that
dream real," he concluded.
80 ROTC's
