Leadership may be defined as effective inspiration to thought or action . . . Another way of finding out what leadership means is to study the man generally admitted to be a leader. Every such man, no matter what other characteris- tics he may possess, is always noted lor knowledge, courage, and generosity. 1 he man who does not give wholeheartedly and lavishly may possess personality but he can never he a leader. Accordingly, to be in training lor leadership means to study for knowledge, to strengthen our wills for courage, and most important of all. to sacrifice a completely per- sonal ambition. In proportion as a man devotes himsell wholeheartedly and single-mindedly to a cause, his cause will be successful and his leadership effective. The MARQUETTE of 19 3 6 President, Loyola University Chicago I he best training lor leadership consists in the de- velopment within one s self of the spirit ol co-operation, the spirit of teamwork. W ithout the ability to join with others in the successful prosecution ol any plan no man can be a proper leader, for this one must develop char- acter and personality. I hese two general traits can be best developed by the spirit of self-sacrifice, of perseverance and of willing- ness to give all that the task confronting us requires. Without such willingness no task worth while has been or will be achieved. DePaul l ' nivers ' Jy . Chicago

A good leader must possess certain positive characteristics. I lis position is one of relativity. He is related to three distinct groups — his superiors, his equals and his subordinates. He cannot maintain his position if he is unwilling to be directed by his superiors, and it is im- perative that his relationship with them be con- genial. Mutual respect must exist between him and his equals in order that his own position o( leadership will be maintained and strengthened. Finally, proper leadership should embody the constructive and intelligent guidance of his subordinates. 1 he greatest strength wh ich a leader possesses is found in those whom he leads. The American High School, with its broad curriculum and its activity directed by compe- tent teachers and administrators, offers excel- lent opportunities for the training in the funda- mental rules that form the basis for leadership in all achievements of life.
