Hearing echoes from a misty vale, The murmurs of ambitious hopes, The poet Watches, mirrored in a stream, A dream that floats with silvered sail. These things can just as much be ours, Who cannot sing of what We see, Or tell the World in colored Words Of beauty and enchanted hours. -KATHERINE DORAN.

THIS KIND lf IMMORTAIITY ll SH ULD lLlIlKlE l.i.Q..-.M HERE are two kinds of immortality. One is religious, the immortality of the soul. Some people believe that after death one's spirit lives forever as a separate con- scious personality. The other kind of immortality is everlasting fame. I should like this kind of immortality. There are many different paths to this goal. The qualities necessary are indomitable courage and great ability. I want to be a supreme master, a genius who will contribute to the world something that will add to its sum of human knowledge and happiness. There are different kinds of geniuses on earth and different ways of becoming immortal. The artist, like Michelangelo or Raphael, lives forever because he portrays great truth in beauty. The writer, as Shakespeare or Milton, lives through the ages for his originality and universality. The spiritual leaders, Christ, Mohammed, Buddha, are immortal because they shape human destiny by teaching men how to live better with themselves and their fellow beings. The scientists, Pasteur, Darwin and Koch, will never be forgotten because of their services to mankind. Their wonderful work has done something really beneficial for the world. The qualities that made these men immortal are in their characters and abilities. Indomitable courage, patience, painstaking care, bravery and perseverance are necessary. All geniuses must have,.of course, great ability. Artistic works must have an 'tupliftf' a signihcant meaning, to live forever. This meaning must be for all times and in all places. Interest in human nature is indispensable to all artists, especially to the scientist. Without the needs of mankind at heart, che scientist will not sacrifice life, fortune, everything, to help mankind. Immortality comes to scientists, artists, writers and 'spiritual leaders. If these have the necessary qualities of character and ability, they will forever be remembered. To me the scientist is one of the greatest artists because he aids in alleviating the sufferings of humanity and cuts throughmdarkness to discover new brilliant light. I should like to be a genius, a scientist, because I want to do something to improve the world. --MARIELY BAKER.
