over their youthful experiences, and to renew their youthful enthusiasms. The formation of such an attachment may well be deemed a fortunate incident in the life of any man. Not only will it furnish a bright link to join him to a delightful past, but it will provide l1im the golden opportunity for devotion to an ideal. The college to him will come to stand for many things which purify, ennoble and elevate. No abstract moral doctrine could have the effect, none could be so readily absorbed into his being and become so powerful an influence upon his life as his veneration for college traditions, his love for college ideals. In fact, the step from the ideals of a college to the ideals of the intellectual and spiritual world is not so long or so difficult, and the mind which admits the one is preparing for the other. The conceptions have an inherent connection, a sub- stantial identity, and though it be a paradox, we may safely predict that the less will soon include the greater. Such, we believe to be the result of the growth of a liberal and enlightened college spirit, and we think its iniiuence makes decidedly for social and moral advantage. For the true conception of this spirit combines unselfishness, loyalty, enthusiasm, devotion to honorable tradi-. tions and noble ideals. Anything less is dispiriting and humiliating. We cer- tainly onght not to regard such extravagances as sometimes occur, whether from the novelty of a newly acquired independence, or from -the recklessness and prodi- gality of fun-loving youth, as a true expression of the meaning of these words. Rather are they a pardonable misinterpretation, to be modified and corrected as experience widens and character matures. Again, it is undoubtedly possible to mistake a popular caprice or prejudice for public sentiment, and likewise, a sentiment may arise within a college com- munity and be mistaken for college sentiment or spirit. The question may well be asked, then, whether a whimsical devotion to such a manifestation may not become a sacrifice of personal independence. For such mistakes in conception with their attendant blunders in action there is but one remedy-raise the tone. Apply the test contained in the inquiry: Does this question or agitation affect the general good, the college community, or is it the result of personal ambition and self-seeking? When the judgment has calmly and dispassionatelv decided, we will find college'spirit on the side of the right. Its main concern is not to uphold the embryo agitator and demagogue, nor to further the immature ambi- tions of any man or set of men, but to furnish to fairness and justice the strong and generous support of youthful sentiment and enthusiasm. There is then every ground for a firm and abiding faith in college spirit, every reason for deeming college life without it blank and void. Its power welds into a symmetrical and harmonious whole the many diversified elements consti- tuting the college community, and makes the college itself a power for progress and culture. .
