MESSAGE TO METROPOLITAN When I look hack, as I sometimes do, upon my own early school days, I think oi those staid old maxims that I had to copy out so pain- stakingly. Like other old-fashioned things, they made no great impression upon my youthful mind. Recently I was reminded of one of them hy the retiring British Consul in New York. He told how it was engraved on the silver mug out of which he drank his mill: from as early as he could remember: MTO he what you are, to become what you are capable of hecoming, is the end of life. He thought in those days that it was rather stuffy, hut as life went on, it became more and more significant, a greater and greater truth. I too, as I talk to our hoys and girls, to Honor Society students. to visiting graduates, most of whom are now in the armed services, realize that they are fine people hecause they always are, in the very hest sense, uVVhat they are,H and are continually trying Uto hecome what they are capable of hecomingf' Truly, that is the goal of life.
