PRINCETON FOR THE NATION'S SERVICE* 

 Six years ago I had the honor of stand- 

 ing in this place to speak of the memories 

 with which Princeton men heartened them- 

 selves as they looked back a century and a 

 half to the founding of their college. To- 

 day my task is more delicate, more difficult. 

 Standing here in the light of those older 

 days, we must now assess our present pur- 

 poses and powers and sketch the creed by 

 which we shall be willing to live in the 

 days to come. AVe are but men of a single 

 generation in the long life of an institution 

 which shall still be yoimg when we are 

 dead, but while we live her life is in us. 

 What we conceive she conceives. In plan- 

 ning for Princeton, moreover, we are plan- 

 ning for the country. The service of insti- 

 tutions of learning is not private, but pub- 

 lic. It is plain what the nation needs as its 

 affairs grow more and more complex and

 occasion of his installation as president of Prince- 

 ton University.
