I can m tike the future as narrow as myself; the past is obliged to be as broad and turbulent as humanity. And the ups ' hert of this modtnti attitude is really this; that men invent new ideals because they dart 1 not aUen })l old ideals. I hey took forward with enthusiasm, be’catise they are afraid to look hack A G. K. Chesterton 77te Well and the S ballon s In a certain sense a college could he compared to a wall, with each successive class adding anothej tow of stones tci it, One class dons not change, does not radically redirect a college; ratliej il increases the colleges scope 1 as it becomes one with the tradition to which it is heir. We mean many tilings when we say Loras, and most of what we mean is lather intangi¬ ble. wlvat we might call the body ol living tradition. We have here in this section the current group of Loras men. Men whose minds are even now being molded 1 this fixing tradi¬ tion into that attitude of which we earlier spoke. These are the men w ho shall Ik short h called to face the Loras challenge.
