In 1932 Dr. Frank F. Warren returned to America after a term of seven years From the President's Desk as a missionary in Japan. After a similar period spent in the classroom, Dr. War- ren became the President of Whitworth College in 1940. As the college has de- Dr. Frank F. veloped during these years of war and world tension, there has come to the Ad- minstration the urgent feeling to do something unique in the field of higher edu- Warren cation. We believe the time has come to stress the inter-relationship of Christian and American ideals. The great conflict of the twentieth century is the struggle that is taking place for possession of the minds of men. Therefore, it follows that the education of our youth is one of the significant weapons that can be used in this struggle. Russia has become strong because she considered her youth as the primal target for the focus of· her work of capturing her people and the peoples of the world. A grave responsibility on OUT teachers is to indoctrinate our youth in the traditional concepts enunciated in our historic documents, as defined and applied by our founding fathers. We dare no longer take our American way of life for granted. We are losing the very consciousness of those basic American principles which have made us unique among the nations of the world. It is tragic but true that many Americans are willing to sell their precious birthright of freedom for the apparent "security" of federal benefits. Our immediate problem is not that Communism is about to take over America-s-that could be met and met with determination. The tragedy of our hour is that far too many Americans decry creeping socialism on the one hand and abet it with the other. Whitworth feels that the time is ripe to bring before its student body of more than a thousand students the true picture of our American system of government and our democratic way of life.

Many of us are convinced that we as educators must renew our efforts to teach the traditional American values and concepts. This is dearly seen against the backdrop of the many clamoring voices demanding the attention of young Americans as well as the multitude of tensions which beset us all. It is not enough to echo and re-echo the American past. There must be a continual re-examination of present day life against the values which have served our nation so long and so faithfully. Within this process of re-examination will usually come the sharpest controversy as well as the greatest student interest. It is necessary for the student to be in touch with men who have helped shape present policy and who are aware of the problems we are now facing. This is the chief purpose of the lectureships which will be an integral part of the School of American Studies. In this program outstanding authorities in a number of fields will be brought to the campus to lecture and then meet informally with students. In these informal meetings the student will have an unsurpassed opportunity to come to know these men personally. Such stimulation is invaluable to the college studen t. The student must also have an understanding of America's place in the world community. Thus the whole area of our relation to the other nations becomes a matter that no intelligent American can avoid. A study of Com- munism as a philosophy and system of world wide aggression must be included in such a program. This spring the director of the School of American Studies had an un- usual opportunity in this area. The Board of Christian Education of the United Presbyterian Church arranged a seminar on "Disarmament and Organization for Peace." This seminar was held in Washington, D.C .. and the United Nations in New York City. Dr. Clifford Earle and Miss Mar- garet E. Kuhn, Board of Christian Education, arranged a most worthwhile and interesting series of meetings with people of national reputation. Con- gressman Horan made the Washington stay especially worthwhile. A Christian College should be more concerned than other schools in teaching moral values. The values must be related to our nation and world community. Whitworth, with its new program will be greatly aided in its task in this whole area. In the words of Lincoln, "That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom."

DR. HOMER CUNNINGHAM, Director Dr. Cunningham, Thomas P. Holley, Exec. Asst. to Congressman Horan. School of American Studies Congressman Walt Horan and Dr. Fenton Duvall What They're Saying About ... SCHOOL OF AMERICAN STUDIES AT WHITWORTH

Although. every college should be a "School of American Studies," the sort of curriculum proposed at Whitworth College provides a special focus that can be of great value - both to the student and to the community in which he spends his adult years. Although the United States of America needs scientists and mathema- ticians and other specialists, its citizens need even more a clear sense of the true nature and destiny of the nation. To the extent that the proposed School of Ameri- can Studies serves this purpose, it will be a useful addition to the academic community.

MARK O. HATFIELD, Governor State of Oregon

I am indeed pleased to learn that Whitworth College is initiating a School of American Studies this coming fall. In these days of world tension, we are becoming increasingly concerned with the role our Nation must play. Communications, trans- portation and the missile age have reduced the size of our world, and have made our political, economic and social responsibilities inescapable. A sound foundation and understanding of our American democratic heritage I feel are essential and vitally important if our Nation is to be able to effectively combat forces of the Communistic system. I want to wish you and Whitworth College every success with this very worthwhile undertaking, your School of American Studies.

WALT HORAN, Congressman From Washington's Fifth District

It has been said that freedom must be won and rewon in every generation. The wonderful system of free institutions under which we live can only be preserved as we understand its true values and proceed as free people to implement these values. When you have it, freedom seems a simple and a wonderful thing, but it is far more complex than we realize and to preserve it free men must have knowledge, character, self-discipline and industry, and educational processes must do a great deal more than they have to equip leadership in all branches of our activities to carry the banner of freedom in a much more effective way.

ARTHUR B. LANGUE, President McCall Corporation

In this day of International crisis and National need our country looks with hope to her youth schooled in the humanities and dedicated to the preservation of democracy. Whitworth College, in undertaking the establishment of a "School of American Studies" is providing the means to insure qualified leaders in government and informed citizens in our communities.
