4 THE CHIMES PROGRESS Barbara Colman, '29 In the mad race of life today we moderns rarely stop to check up on where we are going and what's going to happen when we get there. Are we making progress with all this forging on and slipping and running away again? Are we? Theoretically, I suppose, there is no progress except as in relation to other things. Doesn't that apply to us, to life, to the world? Progress is getting ahead of the other fellow, outdistancing him, outdistancing ourselves. We want to be in front of the other fellow on the ladder, step on his fingers as he grasps the rungs in his precarious situation, crush his fingers as others are crushing ours. We've got to get on. We want this — that. The other fellow's got it and why shouldn't we have it? But that kind of pro gress doesn't count so much. It's fruitless. We run down, slow up, vitality snaps, tired brains fail and we die. But — outdistancing ourselves — outdistanc- ing our own progress, stepping on the fingers of all our old selves that mark the trail we have made on our way up, — that's what counts. Improvement, progress, and the way ahead. It's like chipping off bit after bit of rock and working ahead in a dark mine shaft, like pushing on in the fog with only a dark, indistinct, and contrary or meandering path on which to tread, — a path that sways and moves. We have to liold it down with our own steps, turn it the straight way, the way that leads on, — and the other fellow's feet can't do it for us! But there's a beacon through all the chaos. And it shines, oh, how clearly and steadily it shines if only we can see it. It is hope and love, comradeship and fraternity. Progress isn't easy. It means self-denial and bitterness that we must quell when we can't see why we must do this — the everlasting tvhy of things ; it's so hard to blindly trust — and it
