CONANT URGES NEW ATTITUDE FOR FREE AGE

"We are at the beginning of a period of psychological reconversion no less important than the readjustment of our economic life," said President Conant Tuesday morning in Memorial Church at Harvard's first official end-of-the-war services.

"The moral imperatives of the battle-field must be transformed into those of a free society which believes in the supreme significance of each individual man or woman," he continued.

"War and peace are, as regards methods, miles apart; but as regards objectives, this war for us, a free people, has been identical with the job that now lies ahead--keeping open the road of freedom."

Concluding with a reference to the "General Education" Report, President Conant said that "in our discussions of education at all stages" we must "never lose sight of the kind of behavior a free society must demand of its responsible citizens."

President Conant did not discuss the development or potentialities of the atomic bomb in which he played a considerable part as chairman of the National Defense Research Committee, nor did he repeat his opposition to compulsory training.
