America will decide the fate of this country," she warned. "Either youth will be soft or steel itself. We shall continue ourselves only as long as we are fit to do so."

Mrs. Reigart tied in Americanism with education by urging instruction of Americanism in our schools. "We must advertise Americanism from the first grade on. We advertise everything in America on sign boards and in neon signs—except our greatest gift, Americanism." Liberty at a Price
Although no official director has been named to the selective service committee, the White House indicated that the machinery of preparing for registration would go swiftly forward under its present temporary heads.
Hoch Draws--friends, each found in the other the same forthright qualities, the same devotion to the interests of this University. It was more than a friendly, advisory interest. They were fighting men, aggressive in their belief that Kansas could and should have strong, free, and vital institutions of higher learning.

The dangers of becoming lax in safeguarding Americanism were discussed when the speaker asserted: "We have had livery so long at no cost that it is hard to realize that even keeping it has its price, which is eternal vigilance."
"Every citizen must take part in government. No longer can we 'let George do it'."
Mrs. Reigart concluded her speech of less than half an hour by hurling challenges to her audience, composed almost entirely of youths. She warned them not to believe the weak-hearted persons and cynics who say that democracy has failed. "It is you who in the next few years will determine the fate of America," she said. "If we fail now, man will never again enjoy the advantages of a democracy such as we here in America know it right now."
Urges Modernization
Chancellor Malott spoke briefly from a prepared text to conclude the convocation. He urged the students and the faculty to fit themselves to the rapidly changing world. He even requested that the schools and departments take inventory of their courses and then change or add to keep K.U. abreast of the current times.
In comparing America to the rest of the world he said, "Now, as we face another academic year, we still have cause to draw an enviable comparison with almost every nation on the globe. But times have changed enormously from those we faced just a year ago this week. . . we realize the inevitable necessity of preparedness."
Concerning preparedness, he said: "Educational institutions cannot survive in a cloistered world apart, teaching as eternal verities things that are transient, clinging to outmoded thoughts and to an old-fashioned pattern of formal education."
In conclusion the Chancellor paid tribute to Chancellor - Emeritus Lindley who died last month, and announced that special memorial services will be held in October. He also paid tribute to two members of the Board of Regents, Ralph T. O'Neil and Dr. Howard L. Snyder, who died during the summer, and Miss Rosemary Ketcham, head of the department of design, who also died this summer.
