No mistak- ing what such noisy fellows mean. They ' ll jump out into the world with the same sort of enthusiasm. But shouting isn ' t what wins. No level-headed college man expects it to. He will buckle down to business just as he buckles down to Greek and trigonometry. That ' s the only way to succeed. But he wouldn ' t amount to much if glued to the desk. A bit of foot- ball, a spin on the water, a couple of hours on the diamond helps the book work, and there ' s no better way to expand lungs than to make holes in the circumambient air with the alphabet- ical chain-shot that glorifies alma mater. Work and play. Season the stern realities of life with the spice of sport and good fellow- ship. So shall the world always show you mellow spots amid its hard places ; so shall the fires of youth keep up a kindly glow until you pass far beyond the frost-line. John Wanamaker.
