LECTURES ON DEMOCRACY

attention of the civilized world
Upon us, and tion our govern-
mental ideals, Our Democracy, as
championed by President Wilson,
fias been accepted asa worthy
ideal by England, France and
Italy; and) Russia’ is even now
groping about in the darkness of
revolutionary chaos after this
me Democracy, Even Germany
comes forward with a claim that
she too has heard of Democracy
and even insists that she has made
it part of her system, ‘The world
is fighting for Democracy,
But what is Democracy? Can an
ideal of government embrace such
diversity of forms as are repre:
sented by the Allies! governments?
The lectures:on Democracy by
the State College faculty will. try
to answer some. of the questions
that promptly arise when we think
of Democracy. The speakers. will
try to interpret the various phases
of the subject, and will surely
stimulate our ‘thinking on. this

RISLEY ADDRESSES STUDENTS

ing whether that nation or any
nation, so conceived and so dedi-
cated ‘can Tong be endured, We
are met on a great battleficld of
that war. We have come to dedi-
cate a portion of that field as a
final resting place for cannon
fodder. It is altogether fitting and
proper that I should say tl
“«But, in a larger sense, they
cannot dedicate, they cannot con-
secrate, they cannot hallow : this
ground, The brave men, living and
dead, who struggled here, have
(consecrated it far less than our
erent power will do, The world
will little note nor long remember
they did here, but let it dare
to forget what I say here, It is
for us the living, rather, to, be
Medicated here. to the unfinished
work which ancestors have
hus far so nobly advanced, It fs
rather for ts to he here dedicated
fo the great task remaining before
lis—that from these honored
words you take increased devotion
to that task for which I have not
yet given the last full measure of
a that you here highly re-
sol
in vain; that this nation, under ME,
shall have a new birth of autoc-
facy; and that government of the
Hohenzolterns, by the | Hohen-
zollerns, and for the Potsdam gang,
shall not perish from the earth.’
“Let us thank God at feast twice
a year for the blessing of living in
‘a country whose heroes are Wash-
ington and Lincoln, not Frederick
the Great and Bismarck.”
Mr, Risley then spoke of the
diffctilty of Woodrow. Wilson’s
present tasks “ Washington's prob
Jem was to make a nation free, Lin-
coln’s to keep a nation intact, But
Wilson must preserve a nation | 1
from a foreign le and so manage
its internal af 3 that we y be
aders of foreign, thought
always have been,”
Mr. Risley deplored the whole-
sale optimism into which so many
of us have heen lulled, and urged
that we “ fight the kind of fighting
that is made in America.”
Tn closing, Mr. Risley suggested
that cach of us, as he or she enters
our college building, shall salute
the flag that was made in America.
"The stars in that flag stand for
outr undivided country, the red for
the blood shed by the hoys of yes-
terday and today, the white for the
purity of our purpose, the b!
the souls of men like the valiant
Washington and the
