\nCommencement address at  \nIOWA STATE UNIVERSITY  \nJune 15,1920  \n。E1公   \n## Supremacy of the Economic Law\n\nT is a privilege to one engaged in business life to beable to turn aside for a day to participate in the closingexercises of the university year.It is refreshing to turnfrom the problems which in these days are vexing societyalmost to the point of despair,to witness these ceremonies,significant as they are of the great tide of new life,newcourage and new strength that is always pouring into andrenewing the social body.You who have had the advantagesof a university course are only a small part of the replenish-ing stream,but by reason of your training you should beinfluential far beyond your numbers.You have taken yearsfor the study of social life and its development,and uponyou rests an especial responsibility to supply guiding,in-forming,steadying counsel in the time of your generation.  \nThis army of youthful reinforcements is a great solventelement in society.It lacks experience,but has an undis-turbed optimism and confidence that all will work out well,which is a valuable factor in results,and while it inheritsmuch in bias and opinions,that inheritance is modified andsoftened by the natural generosity of the youthful spirit,receptive as it is to the influence of changing times.So itcomes about that despite the radical differences that seemto exist,and the bitterness engendered by them,societyconstantly becomes homogeneous and nearer to commonviews and a common understanding.The adaptability,theelasticity,the vitality and creative powers of youth,arethe sovereign remedy for the ills of society.  \nsOCIAL DISCONTENT  \nThese young people who are entering active life today,haveput their oars into the stream at a time when the watersare more troubled than at any other period of modern times.  \nThe highly developed,intricate,specialized,system of in-dustry and exchange which had been slowly developed forsupplying the wants of the population,and upon which allcivilized people were dependent,was to a great extent in-terrupted and broken down by the war.In ordinary timeswe scareely appreciate the services of this organization—the benefits we derive from the division of labor,from theaceumulation of capital in the form of machinery,from thesystems of communication and transportation in all theirparts,from the systems of banking and curreney,and otheragencies of our complicated social life.We do not appreciatethem until they cease to function,and even then a largeportion of the population does not understand what hashappened.  \nAnd so it is that the period of disorder and hardshipsresulting from the war has been favorable to the develop-ment of social discontent,and the spread of radical theoriesfor the reorganization of society has aggravated the generalconfusion and distress.  \n## DESIRE TO BETTER CONDITIONS PRAISEWORTHY\n\nThe impulse of every individual to seek the betterment ofhis condition and that of his children and his fellows is per-fectly normal and praiseworthy.It is irrepressible,for it isa manifestation of the Divine life and energy by which allour development has come.It is not something to be con-demned or deplored,but cultivated and guided alo","cbCaijuMXvxnW2Ja","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijuMXvxnW2Ja","pdf",736837,16,"English","# Supremacy
