W. E. Sandelius, professor of political science, outlined the philosophical and historical background of the idea of world federation.
Professor Sandelius stressed that the essential thing is to revitalize democracy throughout the world. Democracy and peace can be achieved only through emphasis on an economic equality and liberty and on the basis of the responsible and co-operative kind of individual.
He stated that whether this can be done will depend ultimately on the realization, that the world crisis is intellectual and moral in nature. He added that American education must resist the relativistic philosophies which have undermined intellectual foundation and moral values
Wealthy Babcock, associate professor of mathematics, presided at the dinner.
