University Responsibility
This week at the local University
one of the largest freshman classes in
the history of the institution will
assemble to hear messages from the
University officials.
It is a familiar and commendable
gesture to congratulate the students
upon the courage and ambition
which has moved them, often at con
siderable self-sacrifice, to undertake
years of study and to subject them
selves to the rigorous self-discipline
demanded of them.
But more pertinent to our com| munity today will be the significance
which the students themselves attach
to their university training in its re
lation to the community. We should
wish them every success in their uni
versity career; but no matter what
scholastic honours they may achieve,
we shall not be willing to admit that
they have won success, unless at the
same time, they have become aware
of the responsible position which
they are destined to fulfill in the
community about them.
Just as we recognize the greater
responsibility of the mature adult
over a young child, so we must recog
nize the duty of the able, the trained,
the intelligent, to give of these gifts
to those less fortunate than them
selves.
• There is the all-important need
today and in the future for men and
women, trained in the academic tech
niques of objective observation and
logical thinking, and impressed with
the need for long range policies in
coping with the social problems that
have arisen from race conflict in our
province. We shall be willing to ad
mit that University students have
been successful in their training if
and only if they have become aware
of that need and prepared themselves
to fulfill it.
Come On, Men!
The New Canadian has been the
willing recipient of many a caustic
and even doleful complaint. Most of
these we have taken and accepted
with all the sympathy and under
standing we can muster, pouring gal
lons of oil upon the most tempestu
ous waters.
But recently we were moved to
bitter wrath by aspersions cast upon
the quality of our Nisei manhood—•
aspersions which, despite the over
whelming weight of evidence , to
prove them justified, we still refuse
to believe.
It seems that members of a Nisei
cultural organization, organized not

University Responsibility
This week at the local University
one of the largest freshman classes in
the history of the institution will
assemble to hear messages from the
University officials.
It is a familiar and commendable
gesture to congratulate the students
upon the courage and ambition
which has moved them, often at con
siderable self-sacrifice, to undertake
years of study and to subject them
selves to the rigorous self-discipline
demanded of them.
But more pertinent to our com| munity today will be the significance
which the students themselves attach
to their university training in its re
lation to the community. We should
wish them every success in their uni
versity career; but no matter what
scholastic honours they may achieve,
we shall not be willing to admit that
they have won success, unless at the
same time, they have become aware
of the responsible position which
they are destined to fulfill in the
community about them.
Just as we recognize the greater
responsibility of the mature adult
over a young child, so we must recog
nize the duty of the able, the trained,
the intelligent, to give of these gifts
to those less fortunate than them
selves.
• There is the all-important need
today and in the future for men and
women, trained in the academic tech
niques of objective observation and
logical thinking, and impressed with
the need for long range policies in
coping with the social problems that
have arisen from race conflict in our
province. We shall be willing to ad
mit that University students have
been successful in their training if
and only if they have become aware
of that need and prepared themselves
to fulfill it.
Come On, Men!
The New Canadian has been the
willing recipient of many a caustic
and even doleful complaint. Most of
these we have taken and accepted
with all the sympathy and under
standing we can muster, pouring gal
lons of oil upon the most tempestu
ous waters.
But recently we were moved to
bitter wrath by aspersions cast upon
the quality of our Nisei manhood—•
aspersions which, despite the over
whelming weight of evidence , to
prove them justified, we still refuse
to believe.
It seems that members of a Nisei
cultural organization, organized not
