the highest devotion, and these elements may become a part of a cosmopolitan ideal. It does mean, however, that our patriotism is not a lofty virtue if it means loyalty to country and disloyalty to truth and humanity. The true patriot must be loyal to right everywhere against wrong anywhere; must stand for justice to all and against injustice to any. When the actions or demands of his country conflict with the rights of humanity, he must stand for humanity. But, as I have said, patriotism is fundamentally a mere feeling or sentiment. Now, it is characteristic of all feeling that it is blind, unreasoning, irreflective. And so the patriotism of feeling alone, while it may thrill, does not necessarily stimulate to wise speech or action. It may lead the citizen to hurrah, to boast, to fight, or to die without calmly considering what it is all about; to resent a fancied national insult without stopping to ascertain whether it is real; to fly to the defense of the supposed interests of his country without inquiring whether the interests are worthy or the danger is actual. The patriotism of feeling differs in no essential respect from the impulse of the tiger to defend its young, or from that of the wild cattle of the prairie to defend the herd. It is easily aroused and easily stampeded. Much of the patriotism manifested today is of the emotional kind. It acts upon impulse, it is "touchy," it goes off "half cocked," and by a process of spontaneous combustion; it manifests itself in racial prejudice, indulges in national bombast and braggadocio, chauvinism, jingoism, and a disposition merely to whip somebody. I was once conversing with a man, a stranger to me, who in the course of the conversation remarked, "I do wish we would get into war with England." I asked him, "Why?" "Well," said he, "I'd just like to show her we can lick her out of her boots!" I was amazed. I said: "You're a fool; you haven't any more sense than a rabbit!" I said this to myself, of course, not to him, but I plainly perceived that his patriotism was merely a feeling without the control of intelligence; it was patriotic zeal without patriotic knowledge. Under the promptings of such patriotism the patriotic is sometimes the idiotic. The utterances and actions evoked by it are sometimes illustrative of the fact that a man may be a patriot and still be a fool. But the patriotism to which we would give expression today is not merely emotional. It is a patriotism of feeling under the control of the intellect. It is intelligent patriotism. Our emotions are subject to the control of the intellect. It is the function and power of the intellect to inhibit, restrain and sometimes eliminate an instinct or emotion. Even the instinct of self-preservation is sometimes wholly inhibited by a duly informed and reflective mind. Social intelligence, then, may sometimes modify, even reverse, the actions springing from patriotic feeling. The feeling may be wholly subject to a thorough knowledge of national and social conditions and the sense of justice. This is what I mean by intelligent patriotism-patriotic feeling under the control and guidance of knowledge and reflection. It is love of country, and the disposition to serve it, coupled with a knowledge of how to serve it well. It does not yield to impulse. It looks before and after. It restrains a people from fighting when there are no real interests at stake. It is a patriotism which does not end in thrills and kindly wishes for the public weal, but in intelligent action to promote the public good. "A patriot," said Berkeley, "is one who heartily wisheth the public prosperity and doth not only wish but also studies and endeavors to promote it." This is the kind of patriotism, this is the kind of civic interest (for civic interest is itself a form of patriotism) by which alone Berkeley as a man or Berkeley as a city may be honored. This is the kind of patriotism we would manifest in the celebration of this day and particularly in the dedication of this flag and flagstaff. The day is not well spent unless it promotes in us, and is well spent only as it promotes in us, a more intelligent interest in the well-being of the city and the affairs of the country, closer co-operation between city and university, an integrated municipal consciousness, and a purified and developed democracy. The honorable name which the city bears, the renown of the university located here and the present position of our country among the nations of the world, should stimulate us all to higher citizenship in all its manifestations, so that when, fifty years hence, another day is set apart to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of the naming of this city those who then assemble may be inspired by visible manifestations of our earnest and intelligent labors in behalf of our city, our university and our country. To that end let us labor "In the undoubting faith, although It be not granted us to see, UNIVERSITY RECORD VICTOR H. HENDERSON In all the half-century since the University of California was founded no member of its faculty has been so productive of disciples who have risen to eminence in the University career as George Holmes Howison, Mills Professor of Intellectual and Moral Philosophy and Civil Polity from 1884 to 1909, and now Professor of Philosophy, Emeritus. Now, through the endowing of the "Howison Foundation" by Professor and Mrs. Howison, an act as wise and creative in idea as it is generous in purpose, Professor Howison's life work, that of discovering and training young philosophers and setting their feet on the pathways of intellectual freedom and distinction, will be continued through all the generations to come, by means of an endowment one primary purpose of which is the full professional training of men who look forward to a university career in philosophy. The Howison Foundation, now created by the gift of Professor Howison and Lois Caswell Howison, his wife, is a fund of approximately $70,000, and the income is allotted to various excellent university purposes. "The undersigned, husband and wife," said the letter of gift of July 14, 1916, from Professor and Mrs. Howison to the Regents, "mindful of their advancing age and of the long and satisfying years they have passed in connection with the University, and impressed by the fidelity and skill, especially in financial administration, which your Board has constantly displayed in its management of the University affairs, and having no descendants, hereby agree to convey to you the following described property, upon your promise to accept the same and perform the trusts hereinafter mentioned." The property so given included their home, with a frontage of 150 feet on Piedmont avenue, near Derby street, and bonds of a value of approximately $50,000. The Regents are granted full liberty to sell the property and to reinvest the proceeds, subject, however, to the following trusts: that the capital of the Howison Foundation shall be kept undiminished and its income only used, a specified income to be paid to Professor and Mrs. Howison so long as either shall survive; their home to be theirs so long as either shall live; $600 per annum to be devoted to the maintenance of an allowance to be known, in commemoration of Mrs. Howison's maiden name, as the Lois Caswell Fund for the Dean of Women, for the aid of deserving women students, and the remainder of the income to be devoted to the following purposes: $1200 for the maintenance of the Howison Fellowship-a traveling fellowship open to such students in the graduate school of the University of California as shall have taken their A.B., either here or in some other university of equal rank, with honors in Philosophy, found thoroughly grounded in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology, and possessed of a free reading command of Greek, Latin, German, and French, the Howison Fellowship to be held by each appointee for three years, one or more of which may be spent at some other university approved by the Mills Professor and his department colleagues of full professorial rank (these men to select the candidate); the income on $2000 to be devoted to the maintenance of beds in the Infirmary; after the death of Professor and Mrs. Howison certain small annuities to be paid to relatives of Mrs. Howison; when these annuities cease, three or four Anne Sampson Scholarships or Fellowships are to be maintained in the Department of English, in honor of Mrs. Howison's mother, these scholarships to be open to women students in such studies of English literature and criticism as the chief professor in the English Department and his principal associates may determine, the appointees to be selected and nominated to the Board of Regents by the said professors, and each scholarship to carry a stipend of $300 or $400 per annum; the income of the Howison Fellowship is then to be raised to $1500 per annum; any surplus of income is to go to the general uses of the Department of Philosophy, in such allotments as the Mills Professor and his department colleagues of full professorial rank may advise, "provided that such allotments to the department shall always be additional to its support from other sources and in no case a substitution therefor''; any surplus resulting from non-use of the income of the Dean of Women's Fund, or to vacancy in the Traveling Fellowship in Philosophy, is to be added to the capital of the Howison Foundation; should the Howi |
