.NNY people, no doubt, consider education the means to success in either business or professional life. llut. educa- tion is not only the means to a natural success. lt represents the progression of the individual from infancy to old age. NN'e can- not feel nor see it yet it becomes a part of us and enters into the intellect. ln each of us there is an immortal being, as potent and strange as gravity, and also as invisible. None of our senses can detect it in any way, yet we and our teachers have been so sure of it that our object has been to develop this unknown force- this ego. .tNnd have llrofessor Greer and our teachers labored with us in order that our physique or appearance should he changed in any way? NN'hat has been their purpose? Did they hope we would be successful in the modern world? .Nnd does success mean. to them, the ability to exchange our commodity. either mental or manual, for a compensation which will procure for us, something to satisfy the senses? .Nnd if we do not acquire this material remuneration. after striving conscientiously and bravely, are we failures? Their purpose has been, to develop this individuality in such a way, that with or without fame, with or without riches, the object of our existence will have been fulfilled. Their purpose has been to prove that they and we have succeeded in our endeavors, by raising the standards of ideals. llut what can we, only a few individuals, do to raise the standards of a great country and a greater world. NN'e are like 150 drops of water in the ocean, but without the drops the ocean would not exist. Let us remember that an unworthy or clishonorable thought while not visible to others is doing incomparably more harm than any material act. l.et us not choose the path of least resistance but throughout oltl' whole existence cast our inl-luence with what elevates and will improve not only ourselves. but the race, and scorn to tem- porize with any movement which could assist in a retrograde or dehasing result.
