PRESIDENT WRITES
FOR MEMORIAL DAY
(Continued from col. 1, Page 1)
College, paid the supreme sacrifice
for no purpose?
I am thinking today as I write of
what those fond parents of their sol-
dier-sons whose memories you are me-
morializing, have suffered. I am think-
ing of the loss Texas and the Nation
has sustained in the untimely passing
of these men who gave promise of so
much uefulness. What lessons are we
to learn from these tragic experienc-
es of war? It was Jean Paul Rich-
ter who said, “In order to see into
life, and still more, into ourselves,
suffering is requisite.” We have
suffered as a result of the terrible
war. If we can see deep enough into
life to realize that war is as useless
and as unjustifiable as dueling, our
heroic sons may not have died in vain.
“As you grow better,” says Phil-
lips Brooks, “you sweep up out of the
grasp of money, praise, ease, distinec-
tion; you sweep up into the necessity
of truth, courage, virtue and God.”
My prayer today is that this memorial
may help the countless thousands of
Texas youths who come to the A. &
M. College in subsequent years to
grow better. May this memorial re-
mind them of the heroic deeds, devo-
iton to duty and fidelity to high pur-
pose that was exemplified in the lives
of some men who had in earlier years
lived the same life and were inspired
by the same ambitions as themselves.
Memorials such as this help worthy
manhood “to sweep up into the neces-
sity of truth, courage, virtue and God.
“My parting word as I convey it ac-
ross the sea, is a prayer that all of
us on this historic day in the annual
of Texas may use the significance of
this occasion to reconsecrate our lives
to unselfish service to our state and
nation, more loyal allegiance to the
Prince of Peace, and more zealous in
good deeds to the end that the brother-
hood of man and the fatherhood of
God may be so universally accepted
as to insure eternal peace among the
peoples of the earth.”
Very sincerely, your friend,
W. B. BIZZELL.
