The Land Is Ours

a

FOLK-SAY IV is a cross sectionof provincial America. Twenty-nine contributors have painted aportrait of America in transition, aportrait vivid in colors of earth,bold in folk humor and poetic pas-sion, rich in the contrasts and iron-ies of an agricultural society in pro-cess of industrialization .

Like the three preceding volumes,FOLK-SAY IV is a transcription ofthe aspirations of the folk in vary-ing stages of becoming literature .

Kenneth Kaufman says inthe Daily Oklahoman : "WhileFOLK-SAY IV may jar oursmugness, it is likely to attract,through its critical sophistica-tion, much more favorablecomment from eastern criticsthan the preceding issues . . . .FOLK-SAY, more truly thanany other published expres-sion of our national conscious-ness, is America."

"You do not educate a man by tellinghim what he knew not," says JohnRuskin, "but by making him what hewas not." This is another way of say-ing that every man should so direct hisexperiences that right conduct will bethe natural result of right thinking . Theuniversity will not do enough for youor you will not get enough out of yourexperiences here unless this ideal is re-alized .

Finally, let me remind you that thiswill be a critical year in the history ofthe university . The existence of the in-stitution depends entirely upon the good-will of the citizenship of this state. Asyou know, people everywhere have beensuffering great financial hardships andthey have been experiencing great anxi-eties. A psychological state of mind likethis tends to cause men to lose a senseof relative values. At this moment thedetermination of the American peopleto reduce the cost of government is likelyto result in the automatic reduction ofexpenditures, irrespective of how it mayaffect public welfare or the future of ourcivilization . You can do much this yearto prevent disaster coming to the uni-versity . There are many of our peoplewho honestly believe that many studentswho come to our institutions of higherlearning do not profit by the advantagesthat have been provided for them . Youalone can discredit this popular beliefby making the most of your opportuni-ties this year . Idleness and indifferenceare always to be discouraged, not onlyin college but out of it ; but the timehas come when indifference to the ser-ious purposes of education cannot be tol-erated . You are to see to it that nothingoccurs during this year that will bringreproach upon the good name of thestudent body or the institution thatnurtures you.Let us, therefore, as we learn, receive,

and hear, give preference in our lives tothe things that are true, the things thatare honest, the things that are just, andthe things that are pure to the end thathappiness to you and satisfaction andpride to those that sent you here mayresult from this year's work.
