Hlumm Hesociation L. G. Rawhins, ’98, president Chinge to Remember in “Your first field That you are “green .” That you must continue to study. That you must “deliver the goods,” as promised. That your predecessor has a few friends in the community. That the Woman’s Auxiliary is not the whole Association. That success may be won without hanging your sheepskin over your office desk. That a necktie which would scare an automobile will find a ready purchaser at the next “rummage sale.” That it is better to wait for the business man than to keep the business man waiting. That the state secretaries are worthy of occasional con- sideration. That the teaching of a Bible class will not redeem your reputation for unbusinesslike bookkeeping. That an anthropometric chart is not a character sketch. “Get next !” That the state convention does not need you, but that you need the convention. That you are too small for the position if you cannot find some time for recreation. That writing a thesis does not cancel your obligations to “Old T. S.” That the fact that you are giving your life to the movement does not excuse you when the subscriptibn book comes to hand. That if you forget (?) to register, it will be wise not to talk too loud about the corruption in local politics. That the member you avoid on the street will care but little for the “glad hand” in the building. That if you should get too big for Association work, try insurance. That if you discover a tendency toward pessimism, it is time to change your breakfast food or resign. That work that is worth while costs a man his life. That “faith working through love” is the best antidote for “the blues,” for laziness, and for professionalism

16 THE MASSASOIT and catholic sense, shall be considered a necessary part of general education. The Young Men’s Christian Association is funda- mentally an educational movement. Its ideal is to sup- plement general education at its weakest points. It is the ideal of the Training School to furnish leaders for this movement who are not merely trained in the tech- nique of their work, but who are men of vision, — seeing the ideal of a more vigorous, more intelligent, and more consecrated C hristian manhood, and equipped to make that ideal real in their own lives and in the lives of the voting men whom they touch.
