The office of the scholar is to cheer, to raise, and to guide men by showing them facts amidst appearances. He plies the slow, unhonored, and unpaid task of observation . . .He is one who raises himself from private considerations, and breathes and lives on public and illustrious thoughts. He is the world ' s eye. He is the world ' s heart Whatsoever oracles the human heart, in all emergencies, in all solemn hours, has uttered as its commentary on the world of actions, — these he shall receive and impart. And whatsoever new verdict Reason from her inviolable seat pronounces on the passing men and events of today — this he shall hear and promulgate.

n What am I? If the student finds his own solitary corner of the campus and asks himself this question not once but many times, these quiet moments of scrutiny, of probing, of doubt, bring him face to face with self — that quality which keeps him a distinct individual apart from others, despite the sharing of dozens of common experiences. The questioner in his solitary corner comes to realize that self has meaning only in relation to others, that he is really many different people at many different times. I ' m Nobody! Who are you? Are you — Nobody — too? Then there ' s a pair of us! Don ' t tell! They ' d banish us — you know! Emily Dickinson
