Knowledge may be earthly but there is a Heaven on earth, a living Paradise in which we sometimes awake and find ourselves living in the wisdom of the ages. A beautiful Paradise it is, full of wonders, abounding in truth, a Para- dise which we can make -more splendid by oureffort to add a few new truths. For there is yet' much ignorance in this world and as Knowledge is the map of the City of Heaven on Earth- so is there a Hell on earth to which ignorance is the path and password. In the storehouse of the world's wisdom we find the secrets of the Universe, the great truths of orderly Natureg we learn to appreciate life, to know its fuller and richer meaning. VVe discover how we can live in 'harmony with Nature and Godg we put our fingers on the pulse of the Universe, rejoicing in the strong, puissant, eternal surge of infinite energy. In the rapturous ecstacy of our adventure we forget our trivial cares and worries. The troulbles of today are forgotten tomorrowg yet, the Truths of a Universe are eternal. The Knowledge of the world is a spot- less God-given monument to the best of Man. For it is the product of Man's deep- est thoughts, his integrity of purpose, his best efforts. Today we exult in thisg for, by living with the best of the past, we cultivate the best in ourselves. Knowledge is our key to true happiness for by it we excel, and the happiest moments of a life are when we know we are giving and doing our best. Oh, ecstacy to lose ourselves in the Forest of Knowledge! From Confucius' formula for perfecting our kingdoms to Einst-ein's formula by which we tame the speed of light and time the stars and the the electrons in their orbits. It is a realm of harmony, order and best of all--Truth. Therefore Stop! Look! and Listen!

Sophomores-Already the battles of the first day are -past.
