“{ LIKE AMERICA”

IPatriotic: Address. Made to|
| Rotary by Prof. E. C. é|
Buehler Today - |

“T like America” was the basis |
of one of the finest patriotic ad-
dresses that Rotary has heard dur- |
ing its mot than a quarter of a|
century of life in Lawrence. The|
address was given by Prof. E. C.
Buehler, of the department of

| speech of the rorty,

It was an address which dwelt
not alone on the vastness of the
nation, on the richness of its fields,
on the vitality and versatility of
its citizens, or on the glory o
its achievements, but on the in-
herent and all important values of
the freedom won by our fore-
bears, and instilled in us from
childhood’s early hours, thru our
years in school, and in the very
air we breathe, as citizens of a
democracy founded upon the ideal
of life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness.

While dealing with many of the
things which have made the United
States great, Professor Buehler
stressed particularly our manner of
thought, of life, of vision, and of
endeavor, which has given us free-
dom at home and has made us a
lodestone to lead other nations to a
greater fulfillment of human hap-
piness.

The address was a masterpiece

in delineating why one may love
America, and might well be in-
cluded in text books, to be used
= ee schools and colleges of the
and.
_ At the close of the address Rus-
sell L. Wiley, of the school of fine
| arts, led the club in singing the
Star Spangled Banner, the na-
tional anthem.
