MODULUS he faculty to understand and interpret other men’s minds is of inestimable Ky J value to any student. The young man or woman who has completed a schedule of studies, whether they are technical or general, has become a composite of all his teachers and the authors with whom he has been associated in his college life; he is therefore the beneficiary of all thinkers of the present and by-gone ages. We study engineering so that we may become better artisans and better professional men, but unless we can correlate our studies with the minds of our authors and teachers we lack one of the greatest assets to become a leader among men. “Leadership is the legitimate aspiration of every able-bodied and able-minded man or woman.” Prerequisites to leadership: 1. Ability to Cooperate; 2. Moral Cleanness; 3. Honesty; 4. Faith in Knowl¬ edge; 5. Technical Ability; 6. Power of Expression; 7. Accuracy of observation; 8. Perseverence; 9. Power of Concentration; 10. Power of Initiative; 11. Ability to Reason; 12. Health of Body; 13. Manner; 14. Belief in God, the Father; in the Church; in our Friends; 15. Reputation; 16. Disposition; 17. Common Sense; 18. Personality; 19 Personal Appearance; 20. Tact; 21 Courtesy; 22. Cordiality. Even though a student does not possess, or if he cannot acquire all of these qualities in their perfection, he should think seriously over these things, for they will accompany him throughout life, and if cautiously observed he will lead a successful life, whose evening will be illuminated with happy thoughts and deeds well done.
