O NE of the great problems which confronts every college man is the question, “How shall I prepare myself to meet the demands of the Age in which I am living? ' 1 his is no time for any one simply to drift into college and to drift out of it without finding himself and determining upon a definite purpose. Whatever may be the vocation into which a college graduate enters, the main problem is how he shall fulfill the best ideals of his chosen vocation under the conditions of the modern age. The first necessity is that a man must understand that the time has passed when any one can simply live for himself. The economic and social conditions of our times show an increasing development in every department toward socialization. Shall a thoughtful man try to resist this movement by being a self-centered individualist? It will be impossible to stem the tide, and the individualist will go under unless he learns how to use his own right and to find himself in the coming new order. Those individuals who in their occupations forget to serve society will be compelled to live under restraining law. The necessity for the college man, therefore, is to adapt himself freely to the new order, and to choose as his inner purpose the ideal of aiding every social development through the free choice of a reasonable mind.
