SENIORS Growth uf ilheals Every life follows its ideal, is colored by it, takes on its character, becomes like it. Our heart longings, our soul aspirations, are forerunners of things which might become realities. They are measures of our possibilities. .They indicate the height of our aim, the range of our efficiency. Each passing generation leaves as its richest heritage some bit of wisdom some lofty principle to point out the path of progress to all posterity. Such wisdom, however ancient it may be, will never and can never grow old. - In the time of antiquity when peculiar things were more apt to happen than now, the supernatural idea of the cause of disease was the adopted theory. ' People believed that they were doomed to suffer due to the action of some angry god whom they had offended. Centuries passed on without a satisfactory explanation. Even a noted physiologist held the fanciful notion that human diseases were reversions to normal stages of lower animals--scrofula a reversion to the insect, rickets to the molusc, epilepsy to the oscillaria. When these fanciful stories were still in existence by some, and the cause of infectious diseases could not be fully proven, there lived in northern Europe a physician whose name was Koch. The story goes that this physician was seen to pace back and forth in his room night after night. His friends in alarm asked him the cause of this strange conduct. Turning upon them he answered, The noble beginnings of the masters will not let me rest. He saw here the opportunity that promised a realization of his burning ambitions. Gathering together all the available data, and performing numerous skilful experiments, Koch was the man who perfected the postulates or rules which showed the definite relationship between bacteria and disease. He is directly responsible for the discovery of several bacteria and formed the stepping stone for many subsequent discoveries. The revolutionary effect was great, the conceptions of the etiology underwent no less a transformation than disease itself. The mystical stories faded away like dew before the rising sun on account of the perfection of the work of one lone man by that one restless thought which echoed and re-echoed through the innermost recesses of his soul, The noble beginnings of the masters will not let me restf' ln our practical day philosophy may be defined as the search for happiness. Every age has tried to answer in its own peculiar way the eternal question, What is life w'orth livingn? The popular notion of true happiness is a utopia of satisfied desires, of rest and calm, a fairy land of babbling brooks and shady dells and sighing zephyrs. The soul of happiness should be contentment. Man should be contented with his lot. He should not yearn for the things beyond his reach. It is far better they say to sleep in peace on the complacent isles than to be tossed back and forth on ambition's restless sea. Such is the philosophy of contentment, a beautiful but empty dream. Growth and improvement cannot exist without orderly change, and content- ment never fosters any change. Discontent created the first genius. We will never know how many centuries our primeval ancestors were content to fight off the beasts of the forest with no weapon save their bare hands. But there was one man in all that savage group who was not satisfied. As his companions gorged Page 106 ff-1 -- s zz- .,-rf--:eff -r-fi-v -1-H+ - . .vm-e-we-1 - :-- -' - :rv 1 fs- Y' .---:Y v-ff r-1-+1---1fvvvr:mm1n-rzu-:za r

SENIORS themselves into blissful slumber he paced up and down in the darkness. ,The desire for something better than the common lot had seized his soul, the thrill of discovery quivered in his veins, he was the first mortal who felt that indesirable yearning which comes only to him whose reach exceeds his grasp. Slowly his dawning intelligence shaped itself into an idea. He impulsively seized in his hands a fallen bough and behold, he had invented the worldis first weapon. It is to him and his kind that we owe our magnificent civilization. Worthy discontent is the motive power of progress. It is the soul of improvement and growth. It is the forerunner of every noble aspiration and the motive behind every step in the advancement of mankind. He who is contented has long since ceased to grow, he has stopped dead in his tracks, if he ever moves again it will be backward. Such is the inexorable law of evolution. Individual and nation must pay alike the penalty of self-satisfaction and that is decay. Where are the mighty empires of yesterday, Egypt, Persia, Arabia, Macedonia? They grew and flourished up to that fatal hour when their men and women became complacent and satisfied and bowed themselves down to the false idol of supine contentment. Today we search in vain for their dust. It may seem that the story of Koch or the rise and fall of nations is an episode of the forgotten past, yet the emotions that stir the human breast have never changed since time began. Alas for him who does not feel in his heart the desire to emulate anotherfs achievements or to eclipse his trophy. Call it discontent if you will, but it is a noble discontentmentl Call it envy if you must, butitis a noble envy! The gnawing envy that will not let a man sleep until he has surpassed his neighbor is far grander than the tame willingness to admit that he can never be his equal. The discontentment that makes one strive for better and higher things is far more sublime than that indolent contentment that makes one stay where he is and keep in the lowly channel which destiny seems to have cut out for him. How many an obscure man or woman has been scourged and driven to the heights of fame by the lash of a noble discontent. The rational mind has always been fascinated with the attempt to analyze genius. To ind out just why it is that one man is unknown in his own community while another's name is spoken familiarly in every corner of the globe. Guided by the antiquated dictum of Horace, many have faithfully believed, like him, that all great men are born, not made. They owe their greatness entirely to some strange intangible power called genius-a rare gift which nature alone can lavish upon her chosen few. It is a narrow theory, at the best and the investigation of an enlightened age has dampened the ardor of its advocates. We believe today that every normal man is born at least with a possibility of greatness and that genius is not merely the creature of fickle fortune but the definite and merited reward of persistent effort, the goal of an untiring ambition, the culmination of a sublime discontent. In our admiration for the genius of Darwin we forget that he had to labor over a period of fifty years in order to write one single book on earthworms. We cannot believe that Edison survived the hardships of fifteen thousand failures before he wove out of the fabric of his dreams the wonderful light of today. What if Ben- jamin Franklin had believed that fate ordained him to be a printer? What if Abraham Lincoln had been perfectly happy with his life as a poor river man on the Mississippi? Was it that same printer boy who became America's great philoso- pher? Was it that same awkward rail-splitter who guided a stricken nation through the hurricane of civil war? A thousand times, nol These men were dis- satisfied with themselves and their lot. Each seemed to have the motto Semper Discipuli, always- a student. They were determined to build themselves over Page I08
