N 'T' THE ORIOLE 2- Superintendenfs Address To all who are made of the right kind of stuff, Go to School is a good advice. The right stuff im- plies that you must have something within you that wants to motivate. Education is action. Learning is an active not a passive affair. You cannot sit still and without any exertion on your part learn any- thing. You must work. i The college is one of the best helps to you providing you use it rightly. lt cannot do everything for you but it can help you wonderfully. Here are some of the advantages gained by a well spent college life: It will give you a broader outlook on life. You come in contact with the big men of history. You learn of things they have done, their trials, experiences, the obstacles they have had to overcome, and the courage of conviction they have had to possess in order to become great. By so doing their thoughts become your thoughts and you are not limited by the narrow gossip of today or the little realm of one who does not try to grow or develop. ' The college life will inspire. You will come in contact with persons whose presence alone is an inspira- tion. The good ones will be always pointing the way upward. Then there are the associations formed with one's fellow-students. The majority of students are there for a purpose. That purpose is to make something of themselves. That attitude is like a contagious disease, you cannot help but be influenced and have your character molded by it. Many a college man will tell you that he values the friendships formed in college more than anything else. The college develops confidence and individuality in a man. Each one has within him latent possibili- ties which need developing. Delving into the problems and unknown truths put before him gives him the necessary stimulus to develop these before mentioned latent possibilities. A higher institution of learning will tend to mold a sympathy for all classes of people. lt will tend to make you a more useful citizen. It will tend to make you of more service to the community. The college aims to make a man a well rounded one. A sound body is the first requisite, as a founda- tion is necessary for any house to exist. Organizations exist to teach higher moral planes and the every day work enlarges the mental side. There is also the discipline gained through the work necessary to obtain the education. If you have to work your way through college, so much the better since life itself is a struggle and you are then that much better prepared for it. Anyone may secure a college education if he has sufficient ambition, willingness, and the will power to work for it. Then, this is the day of specialists and one may secure the training for which he thinks he is best adapted. ln former years all studied the classics no matter what vocation he intended to follow. It is dif- ferent now, as courses of study are offered to meet the different needs and one may enter this special training course at once. Perhaps best of all is that feeling that comes to one who is always ready to extend a helping hand to those who have not had his advantages and the respect that will be accorded him and to feel the satis- faction in living that he never could have felt if his mind had not been well trained.
