ERIAE FATCn Junior Class History PERSONS SENIOR SOPHOMORE JUNIOR FRESHMAN SENIOR — Now, Junior, that you have the Freshman in your charge, what do you propose to do with her? Do you intend to educate her? JUNIOR — That, my dear SENIOR, is just the subject I wish to discuss with you. Of course, she must be educated : but the question arises as to how she be educated. Indeed, I thought that you, being older than I, might be able to enHghten me as to what education really is. SENIOR — That is easily answered. There is physical or athletic education, mental education, and spiritual education. These are all, you understand, very important. JUNIOR — But I have asked for the definition of education, and behold! you have presented me with a swarm of educations. Your statement is. indeed, like a swarm of bees, for when one searches industriously for the value of it, she finds that in the end she is only stung, without having attained her purpose. But let us grant, for the sake of argument, that your definition is adequate. Which kind of education, then, would you advocate for the Freshman? SENIOR — Well, indeed, I should advocate, without hesitation, physical or athletic training. That is the course I have followed in my own case, and you can observe what it has done for me. It has developed the body, wonderfully indeed. I think I am quite the best athlete in college. Moreover, such training is good for the mind. You know, JUNIOR, it is impossible to have a perfectly sound mind without a sound body. JUNIOR — But, my dear SENIOR, you seem to forget that all this athletic training ol which you boast failed to prevent your caps and gowns from disappearing. The fact that your education failed to do this is not good, is it? SENIOR — Certainly not, JUNIOR. 26
