LOVE OF SCHOLARSHIP The object of the intellect is truth, and hence every normal student is def sirous of knowledge. Too many, how' ever, desire its fruits without its painsg not so the lover of scholarship. She finds joy in the acquisition of knowlf edge as well as in its possession. She is no bluefstocking, no mere factfgatherer, who would carry much learned lumber in her head. Nor does she aim to know almost everything about something, she would know something about almost everything. The lover of scholarship gathers, from the vast abundance of learning, those treasures of learning which wise old Cicero calls the necessary food of youth, the consolation of age, the adornment of prosperity and the refuge in adversity. We choose for this ideal one who ans' wers the description: She is a scholar and a ripe and good one, exceeding wise, fairfspoken and persuading. if .

LUCILLE WEBE 1 , ..-.-.-----'. - F . is 1 , HONESTY IN WORD AND DEED llHonesty is the best policy declares the old proverb. But honesty without policy, honesty through and through without al' loy must be the axiom of the student who represents our ideal of honesty in Word and deed. For honesty is an element, not a com' pound. Being simple in its composition it is crystal clear, like the pool of water into which one gazes in order to count the pebbles of its bed. When the honest student gives her word she gives her bond of faith. There is no subterfuge, no subtle excuse, no mental reservation in her speech or action. With her, principle stands above expediency and justice above personal gain. Qod is truth, and since mankind is made to His Image, honesty in word and deed reflects in us the likeness of divinity. Well has Pope declared, An honest rnan's the noblest work of God R 10 .L.. A.- Aids.:-+ AD.-vas,-an!-a
