Excerpt from Commencement Addresses: June 8, 1919

Proudhon somewhere remarks that if you go very deeply into politics you are sure to get into theology. Lesser minds than this great Frenchman turned his saying upside down to make it read, If you go into theology, make sure you get into politics. I have no inclination to follow this advice and there is no danger that I should encumber you with an addi tional peace talk. But addressing students of Jewish theology, one cannot help dwelling for a moment on the fact that the victory which God in His mercy has granted to our beloved country is at the same time a victory for the Jewish ideal of righteousness and justice. Great is justice, say the Rabbis, because it leads to peace The victory will be complete when the peace will bring justice to all even to the Jew.
