Only enduring satisfactions count in weighing a human life. The ephemeral, however glamorous for the moment, loses its value when dimmed by memory. The glow of physical health which registers in the face after an unnatural stimulant is followed by a weakened body. Evanescent intellectual delights occasioned by the appeal of false art tend to destroy aesthetic standards and enfeeble our capacities for the appreciation of true beauty. Intellectual gymnastics in mathematics or the physical sciences, like a cross-word puzzle, intrigue us temporarily, but they are lacking in that objective which guarantees success. But that enduring physical strength which accomplishes difficult tasks without fatigue, and which is unafraid to risk all; that consciousness of a well-ordered and highly trained intellectual capacity which “welcomes each rebuff’’ with superb confidence in the outcome; that sensitive soul which recognizes and appreciates beauty in nature and nobility in conduct—these are a few of the permanent assets which give meaning and sweetness to life. During your college days, if you have learned to take life seriously; if you have been taught to think clearly and accurately through pressing and perplexing problems in the interest of humanity; if you have come to love only the beautiful in literature and art; if you have broadened your vision to the extent that you can put a proper estimate upon the virtues of your classmates and a proper tolerance upon their weaknesses, you are college bred. Your friend, H. W. Morelock President
