College Life THERE are two attitudes toward col- lege life. First, there is the attitude that it is a period of preparation for the life to come. Second, there is the atti- tude that it is life itself. To me, college life is life. Nothing will come later that will be sweeter or more beau- tiful. Nothing will come later that will re- quire a more liberal share of my vitality and my interest. Nothing will come later that will demand so much of the man in me, as these problems of the class room. The joy of accomplishment will never be keener, and if I have been reared aright, the gall of failure neve r more bitter. College life widens horizons, — it illu- mines pathways. It stimulates ambition; it embarrasses desires for the mediocre. It makes one yearn to get under things, that the lifting may be more effective. If this isn ' t living, what is? EARL JAY GLADE. 11
