The college professor may hand his students the stars, hut without concentration in their observation, not even the wonders of the world can help a person to become educated. For those who have a little trouble drawing the line l)etween astronomical parodies and everyday life, we offer a simple cooking lesson. Instead of creating something delectable for the table, however, we’re concocting a product that becomes an integral part of the chef himself. The recipe: Take one cup of knowledge, combine with a liberal fistful of the ability to learn, plus one-half cup of tolerance. Add a dash of liberality, a touch of humor, and season with an open mind. Bake well in a container of curiosity with the heat of concentration. The discerning chef will find this is one product which is never done, it just keeps cooking —for a lifetime. 5

concentration Knowledge is as the stars in the sky; no matter how much we know there are always unheard of fields which hurst forth sending new streaks of dazzlement producing new areas to conquer. Concentration is our high-powered telescope which guides us into the distance and allows us to overcome the simplicity of wonder and to enter the complexity of learning. If the graduating seniors could hand down one gift to the incoming freshmen, the most valuable would he that of concentration. In that one word is the key to success and to the wide, wide world on the other side of the campus. The best student learns to concentrate, whether it’s on a physics lesson, a basketball game, or a Saturday night date. He knows when to study and when to relax and where to draw the firm line be-tween the two. 4
