Dissette, chairman of th'e citizens’ com. mlttee, and Samuel E- Miller. At Saturday Lunch Club. A stirring interpretation of the American flag and what it stands for, which brought cheers form the Audience, was given by President Hibben, In his talk before the Saturday Lunch Club. "As I came Into the railway stetlon here I saw the American flag, and as I went up the street I saw flags flying Everywhere,’’ he said. "What does such a demonstration mean? That we are proud of our flagt Yes. That we regard It as the symbol of our protection? Yes. But that Is only half the story. It is not only the symbol of what protects us, but it commands our loyalty and devotion to protect it We love our flag for what It gives ua but also fpr what we are able to give It “The fundamental idea of our flag i® that of sacrifice; of giving up something for something higher and nobler than ourselves. In the flag, a cross Is outlined—the cross of sacrifice. Perhaps It means suffering and death for some of us. But let us not draw back. At this time of our country’s greatest danger, let us give our loyal allegiance and greatest devotion to the land we love so wcjl” This brought great applause from the club, who, on the motion of Philip Zoercher, gave a standing vote of thanks to Mr. Hibben. The subject of President Hlbben’s address was “The University and the Business Man.” He showed that university training pref »ared men for the greatest success n business life not omy by imparting knowledge, but by giving them, a broader vision and push for solving the world’s problems.
