himself in a truly marvelous way. Deep calleth unto deep. There is quiet and con- templative response. For the First class there is not much hope. The shallow soil of superficiality is difficult to deepen because of the hard stratum underneath. Yet sometimes the emotions are so stirred as to blast a way through the outer crust into the very soul. The fault-finders are not so impervious. Sometimes their fault-fmcling is the result of indifference or laziness or some other unlovely habit. They frequently awaken to what they have missed when it is too late and after they are unable to retrace their steps. The quiet and meditative are those who have patience and faith, who are ready to wait before nature until she opens up her secrets. To them revelations come, and they more and more find them- selves in familiar fields. 50 it is that the doors open into life. There are other ways into the Yosemite, but El Portal is the most accessible. Likewise there are various doors into life, but the College, we believe, is the open door which no man can shut. Through this door come the superficial. College means a great deal to them because they have been told it would mean a great deal. They do not discover this fact for themselves. They are superlative in their expressions. One wonders how they came or why they wanted to come. Some- times they wake up after two or three years, but usually they fall by the wayside. Through the open door come also the critics and fault-finclers. They have on the proverbial blue glasses. They imagine the sinister side; with them light passes, but shade remains. The pity of the fault-finder is that he so frequently discovers himself when it is too late, when he cannot recover the daylight, or return to the dew of the morning. The quiet and meditative come through the open door with all the buoyancy of the first class and the alertness of the second. Their buoyance will touch deepness as well as breadth, however, and their alertness will be characterized by a desire to arrive at proper values as well as to be brilliant. They will criticise, but their criticism will be con- structive. They will find fault, but with the intention of bettering conditions. They would not have a motive merely for talking or for keeping others stirred up. Above all, they will undertake to find their hearings, to secure a sense of proportion, and to appreciate the opportunity to come close to the springs of knowledge and life. College will be the open door to lead them into the inner sanctuary of the soul, and thence out into the world and service. WILLIAM W. GUTH.
