Such a teacher's heart is in tune with the great heart of the worldg his sympathies are broad enough to include the dreams and problems of all under his supervision. There are persons who, by some means, have fastened themselves like malignant parasites on the body of every college staff. They live in a world dark and narrow and are more to be pitied than censured.
