And while other graduating claas- es may be-aomewhat younger than the group assembled here tonight,they are no> more dewy-eyed with enthusiasm for the cause.**

The "Battle of Washington Square,*' he said, had meant many things: 1. Obvious and visible ones such as "preservation of residen­tial mighborhoods, making chib dren's’ play areas safe, protecting a sorely needed par|c In a heavily congestedipart.of the city, guard­ing a historic site,*'

2. City planning values which **we have publicized as Gars vs,S ' ' * i i n v c p u i j i i v i& c u n o vo»

people who knew the Village— and VlUagers—suggested to me that there was too* muoh Individu­alism. and competition among local civic groups ever to achieve agreement on a common causes Our experience has shown that these Cassandrak were mlataken, and that when the clttaens are wllllilg to define their purposes, stick together and Work hard, they can achieve thS common goals which are of benefit tb tha total community."

4. Rediscovery of the grass- roata of democracy. "Irtr a- democ­racy it should be tile citizens who determine the ends, and the offU dais who represent the medns of; carrying them out. And when our' officials are a littis slow, It Is ai fine thing for citizens* to brgan-t ize to see that their' wisheta are made very clear and ore carried! out by their elected ofnelals. In­deed, Buch active'cltiden partlcl-, patlon is indispensable if the great tredtUon of democracy is to sur­vive in*^a world wherd It Is be­ing seriously challenged."

5. 'The'higheit aspiration of the civilized funotioning of the free and craallve spirit.

recipients, Mr. Churchill said "Washington Square is accus­tomed to victory, Not quite so spectacular and tangible ones as this perhaps. But Greenwich Vil­lage has influenced our era more than any one spot, and much of what goes on In the Village has always taken place in the midst of. Washington Square. Free speech, more freedom In dress for women, all kinds of freedoms Including, If I may say so, free love — have all begun around Washhigton Square and spread throughout the country . . .

'There has ever been something intoxicating in the air. 'For we are free who> live- in Washington Square,* one poet wrote. We dare tO- live as uptowners wouldn’t dare.' This is as true now as then."
