This article presents excerpts from the Commencement address delivered by the author at the Union College in Schenectady, New York. The author illustrated that college classes are remembered through the brief periods of college history for one characteristic or another. He focuses on the current warfare of geography and the dominance of Nazis in the geopolitics. He analyzes that the Nazis may win many battles in African, Atlantic, and African regions, but they will not have won the war unless and until they have persuaded the minds of millions of the young to accept the kind of world they propose to create.
