- t-',-. so THE MEETING OF MINDS, ancient and modern, the one in- congruous in the setting of the other, more often walls off wisdom than frees it. It's called education. But what is it? It is a result It is more than learning. It is the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and it has its price. It wants cultivation-demands constant work and care- ful study. It must be earned-but it is more than worth the cost. It makes wise men into fools, and fools into wise men. It creates, and it has destroyed. It is a hard master, but a generous one to those who serve it, every day, week after week. Study is its service, and more than one road to travel is open here. Persual of scholarly volumes alone is steril. Study is a continuous process for the student, and life is his classroom. The sharing of insight-filled experience during the week with someone who understands, or the insistent debating of the same ideas with those who will never understand, are ways of comparing notes and ex- changing information. It takes speaking, watching, listening-thought-clearing of doubts and creation of new ones to clear. Some are crushed in their study by the weight of what they suddenly know they do not know-and some are challenged. It's called education. SOLITUDE, LONELINESS and the temptation to es- cape too great . . . some succumb.

BEHOLD THE SOPHOMORE, obvious to instruction- educated fool. IT DEVELOP UNDERCLASSM Education is a growing thing. lt develops and matures. It must be nurtured and guided. Great instructors must be parents-parents, great in- structors. There is so much misunderstanding and misinformation to be broken down, so much hanging on the results. Many collegians remain underclassmen for four years, even graduate thus. Some, however, respect scholarship, relinquish childish tastes and begin to quest for the truth: the lessons which may save their World. Never pushed, seldom led, they learn to seek in solitude. And so the underclassman becomes the scholar. MOMENTS OF CONCEPTION: a shared discovery for serious freshmen.
