LH HO Hi 1917 THISTLE £Z3 ESj £S3 ANDREW CARNEGIE—THE FOUNDER For the first time in the history of The Thistle, our readers must forego a direct personal greeting from our Founder. Recent correspondence with Mr. Carnegie’s secretary brought tho information that he would he unable to write us at the present time; and while his condition was reported to he much improved just before the hook went to press, it was not deemed wise to bring any matters of business to his attention, even of such a nature as our request for a personal message. Accordingly, we reluctantly substitute a brief statement of our obligation to Mr. Carnegie. We hope our readers may pause a moment in the bustle of their daily routine and try to catch a glimpse of the pinnacles of achievement which only a few men reach, and then visualize the field of opportunities for human service which must be open to those few men, and consider how they have risen to meet them. As soon as Mr. Carnegie had accomplished a notable measure of business success, he began to use the wealth it brought him for the benefit of his fellow-men. The scope of his philanthropy is remarkable. It is primarily educational, but also covers many other forms of organization for the building of character and the betterment of mankind. The gifts to our schools are but a small part of his contribution to human welfare. Ii would lx useless to catalogue the items here, but they include libraries all over the world, schools, research institutions, museums of art and science, the Foundation for the Advancement of Peaching, the Hero Fund, and many other greater or lesser activities. When we consider what Mr. Carnegie has done for us and for people in general, we have a double duty. The first part of it is to be grateful for our share of the benefits and to resolve to make good use of them. The second and stronger part is to know his life and what it represents, as an example which in some lesser measure we can follow. We can and should rightly aspire to business success; we ought also to learn to perceive the needs of others and do our share effectively toward satisfying them. A parting word as to success in life is in order, and we quote our Founder. “Don’t be content with doing only your duty; do more than your duty. It’s the horse which finishes a neck ahead that wins the race.” Twelve
