Excerpt from The Wake Forest Student, Vol. 41: October, 1921

As the general current of our social and political life has been and will continue to be in the hands of our statesmen, we are depending upon the statesmen of the present to direct their efforts toward the enactment of constructive measures. With great war debts to pay and governmental expenses to be met even in these stringent times, as well as planning for the general welfare of the Nation, the duties of our present legis lators are scarcely less than while the war was in progress. How great is the responsibility that rests upon these men! The power to bring about the ends for which we have striven and to set up a goal toward which we may strive is theirs. How great is their opportunity for service!

The destinies of every nation have hinged about the action of the statesmen who influenced the state of affairs. Some times the government may have been in the hands of a single person, as in the time of Louis XIV. Of France or of N apo leon Bonaparte. At other times the guiding spirits may have been a small group of men, as the Great Triumvirate: Caesar, Pompey, and Cassius. Or, as in more modern times, it may have rested upon the action Of representatives of the people.
