Admiral Thomas Discusses
'Gentlemen' For Rotarians
"Probably no word in any lan
guage has such a variety of defi
nitions as our word "gentleman",
Admiral W. N. Thomas told Rotar
ians here Friday. "Yet whatever
our definition, no man will resign
his claim to the title," he continued.
A generation ago it was a high
tribute to be called a "gentleman"
and a scholar. A current writer now
says that people are not so insist
ent on the title today, the speaker
pointed out.
While Webster defines a gentle
man as: "A gentleman is a man
well-born." Admiral Thomas said
he preferred the definition given
by George Bernard Shaw, "A gen
tleman is one who puts back Into
life a little more than he takes
out." ,
The speaker said: "I like that
definition for two reasons. First
it does not limit enrollment to the
passenger list of the Mayflower, as
important is that list may be. It
puts the obligation on the individ
ual. It gives a man like Abraham
Lincoln a chance. I like it also be
cause it intimates that a man's
first duty is to take something. If
there is a time for giving In life,
then service is the modern label for
for it. There is also a 'getting time'
and time for acquisition. s
"The definition docs not end
with acquisition. We reach the
highest values by making a gentle
man's agreement with life to put
back more than we take out.
Admiral Thomas went on to ex
plain that "Shaw's definition of a
gentleman cuts straight across a
current of philosophy that has In
fected many people of our period.
It is the fever of getting something
for nothing It hits at those who
think it is extremely clever to put
In a little and take out much
"But one crucial question is al
ways in the forefront of an Ideal,
and that is is it worth the effort?
No one has answered that question
so sompletely, in its application to
our definition of a gentleman as
the Man of Galilee. It is truly said
that "He was the first true gentle
man that ever breathed. He took
