other responsibilities grow, will somehow find time to help carry the responsibility for his school. If he is going to do a good job, he will have to be a good executive, inspiring others to work with him, for nobody could do the job alone. He will have to be the kind of fellow who, as everyone knows, puts a job through. And he will have to have something in addition, something we don't quite know how to define--it is made up of sentiment, of strong fealties. of an unsellish philosophy of life. Whatever this is in a man, it is closely akin to his religion, and it is necessary for his satisfaction and happiness. People feel it about him, know it moves him to give his life rather than save it: they take pleasure in adding their work to his. Not to make anybody self-conscious, but to present a challenge. would it be a good thing for each member of the Sixth as he leaves Choate, to ponder how much consideration he would get from an un- prejudiced electorate for this position of Key Man? A touch of laziness, a bit of cynicism, some half-sophisticated smile at high sentiment or standards-these spoil a man for consideration for the post: there in the inner regions of self they set up an alchemy that is destructive of Key-Man material. In hard work and loyalty such material grows. And since nobody's good opinion of us is worth half as much as our own self-respect, I submit that each man of us check up occasionally on his own adequacy for Key Man of the Class of 1939, and if he can't vote for himself as being of the stuff out of which Key Men are made, that he go to work to change himself-even by the method of the publican who stood afar off. Through all change in this world period of hurricane, one thing is permanent, the crying need everywhere for Key Men. 10
