rinciloa A MR. BIGGER If ' 1, ! I 4 How does education effect the student throughout his years in school and alter he has become an aduIt? In answering this question I would like to consider education not to be iust the results of formal academic instruction, but rather as the total results of all instruction, training, and experi- ences of an individual. The ancient Greek philosophers taught that, What you are to be you are now becoming. Amos Alonzo Stagg, dean of all football coaches, used this as the topic for a speech he gave to our student body when I was in high school. The words are just as true today as they were three thousand years ago, and I will never forget his message. These are the most important years of your lives. What you do during these formative years largely determines what you are going to do the remainder of your lives and what kind ol persons you are to become. The old saying, You can't teach an old dog new tricks, is quite true. Once habits of thinking and doing are established it becomes difficult to change them. Employers place great confi- dence in high school records as reliable estimates of individuals because it has been found that, by and large, behavior patterns do not change very much after maturity. It becomes important then for you to take advantage of educational opportunities each day, and to remember that everyday you are practicing to be the person you are to become tomorrow, next year, or twenty years from now.
