its perpetuation on the shoulders of the edueated mah and womam, and that this is
perhaps more true here in the United States ahan anywhere else in the wrld.
Referring to the shift of world power since World War II,Dr. Pettdt said
that these changes have brought urgent demands to the student and the university to
develppe broad understandings of the nature of the social forces that are molding the
world today. He urged students to investigate the need for educational and dervice
projects abrosd. " If we are to establibh a genuine understanding and a productive
