TOP-KNOT, 1930 read the classics, even though the older classical literature does not conform to our modern standards of writing, but contains the principles and ideals of other ages? Who are we to ridicule these ideals and standards because they are not ours? Can we say that they are not as good as those of today, that they inspired the writers of other eras any less than our modern writers are inspired? Surely the very best literature of all ages is- not being written today. VVho has not gained something by having read the exquisitely realistic novels of Jane Austin, wondered at the philosophic pessimism of Thomas Hardy, and revelled in the delicious humor of Dickens? These are but three novelists out of hundreds. If you read their works you will wonder why you were never tempted to do so before. Far more than enjoyment is to be derived from a reading of the classics, for even the most casual study of them gives one a feeling of having obtained a bit of culture. From fine literature we gain the Wisdom that makes culture, and that is assuredly a large reward for reading books. This is just a plea-read good books! Don't read just anything that the woman next door says is just zoo divine . Use judgment and you will never be sorry, will never feel that your time has been wasted. Read a number of worthwhile books each year and at the end of five, you will have gained something immeasurably precious. You will have a definite knowledge, a culture, an ability to discuss books, a,feeling of being in the know , that you would not give up for twice the amount of time spent in reading the books. Just a plea-if you haven't tried it, read good books! GRACEUPOSTONQ 1930 . ASCENT I climb an endless hill, despairing, To something that rests Among the quivering pines. I plod along in grief and sorrow, unheeding nature's joys, When the steady insinuous beauty of the night Steals into my heart And I thrill with the romance of the rising moon A last birdis call. The whistling of the wind, All echo in my ear As with trembling hands and racing heart I clasp a star to my breast And continue upwards. CAROL Rirvnsroos, 1930 l23l
