COLLEGE JOURNALISM SPEECH DELIVERED AT SOPHOMORE & FRESHMAN BANQUET FEBRUARY 14

GUAJN:O E: art hi'S'tory will revea!l the great difference there is between ancient and: mod•e rn methods of ·warfare. vVar is no lon:g'er at hand' to ha,ndi fig1ht in which strength of arm is nrJeded' to swing· the bat'tle-.atx:, .nor helmet~ ciOia;b of m1a1il or buc:lder to bDeak it,s• blo1w. vVarships do not gir:rupple each otheT in iron elaws:, nor do their decks become the s1ta>ge of the m·elee . Invention has changed all this. Na~tions can no\v fight art longer range both ·On land ailld sea1. So too mode:s of political and. religious warfare ha;ve und·e rgpne change. Of old D•emo1Sithenes hal'\a.ngued .the mu ltitude, ,s tirred: them up aga1inst PhHlip of l\1talcedon, his words reached bur those present. St. Bernrurdl fought Abela:r d but this bRtt.le \Vals: confined to it,s theatre, and only the audience hea,rd! the brilliant disquisition of the Cisterciau. 'Tioda~ their \vovdls would. be carried rueross the sea:s, and rea.ch t:he eams of the wih ole world trrun!s·m·i t,t ed thus by that powerful a1gency, the press. The press has indeed becom.e the moderrn· m:e thod of political as well as religious conrtroversy. It is difficult t.o exa~g­ gerate · it,s power for either good1 or evil. And if it is surch a powerful instrument in the haillds of the enem.ies of truth amtd of .t he church, ii:J must be used! with equ:a:l efficiency by the defen:der:s of truth-wnd by the Ohurch. And surely there is need of such d'efensre. We ne_e d nort make long; j·o urneys' to rescue the sepulchre from tJh e Tlu rks. "B:arttllr~ grounds lie newrer home." Th·e sepulchre of truth is violatted by an enea:ny who i.s within our m1dst, art our very doors, the proprugato["s of irreligion. Their weapon is th.e press, OU['S must be likew·i s1e and aJ .skillful aJ:J.d enligh tenedJ use of it i.81 demanded if the contest is to rema~n equal. Tlhe eoming generation, the youth of.the country, must be taug)lt the use of this fireann, amd it i1s within the s;chools and c-olleges that this weapon is to be forgoo and its u'se lea!rned. If the glorious work of the ObJurch is to be .c arried on it must be done largely through the medium of the press, it is imprera,t ive that it sho111ld be. Some one h a.s 1

The month of F'e brua·r y is especially notable for its· presidential a.n niversa1ries. Februa,r y the twelfth we. honor and recall the n1emory of slavery's great 'Phe Grea.t Emancipato:\", Abraham Lincoln. The negro South bending low under the strain of brutal En~a,ncipa tor. ser-vitude could not have· long Ydthstoocl the a~wful yoke orf oppression, had not this unassuming 1nan ca1ne to her rescue. Behind his connuand to the Southern oppressors, the " rhole N o·r th took up the cUJuse in his behalf, and though the nation was: divi,ded against itself, justice conquered in the end. Linco·l n characterized the true embodiment of justice and man's equal rights. No nation on earth can boa~st of a nobler sou, a truer pa~triot or a greater statesn1run. Standing firm and unmoved as the giant oak of the forest, this cha1npion of man's rights· stood bo~dly through four years of alWful agony. Then, just a,s the dove of peace, the emble1n of strife's end, was ahout to float over our na,.t ion's head, marty1~on1 came to steal him from
