'President Glenn Frank SIR Herbert Tree and Constance Collier once went together to a gypsy encampment. Sir Herbert asked one of the gypsies how they decided which way to go. and the picturesque vagabond answered. 1 turn my back to the wind. That's a great philosophy, Sir Herbert said, and one I understand. Miss Collier, in her Harlequinade, protests that Sir Herbert was not the sort to turn his back to the wind, but was made of the sterner stuff that makes men walk straight into the storm. The legend persists that tlvere is some special divinity about difficulty, that it is good for the soul for a man to have a hard time. There is some truth in it. The man who is too soft to face the storm i- something less than a man. The man who does not know how to buck a difficulty is by way of becoming a derelict. Hut that there is something particularly moral about freezing one's face in the wind, that we should habitually take the difficult road to our objective, that we should rejoice at the chance to wrestle with the wind as a kind of spiritual calisthenics, is, I think, a perversion of the truth. As we approach the ideal we approach that nice adjustment of our powers to our problems, that perfect fitting of our careers to our capacities, in which even the most difficult achievements seem easy. More than half our walking into the wind is made necessary because we are trying to follow careers for which we are fitted neither by temperament nor training. If t'nere were no square pegs in round holes, no round pegs in square lioles, if we were all perfectly adjusted to the work we are fitted by capacity and training to do, we should be a race of gypsies -in the sense that we siiould go gaily to our tasks and find them easy. 1 suspect that most of the sorrow of the world grows out of the fact that men arc maladjusted to their work they never know the joy of a fine adjustment to a task they are fitted to do. they never know the joy of being swept forward by the wind at their backs. For the generations of undergraduates that pass through the University of Wisconsin my sustained wish is that they may here find a fine adjustment of their capacities to careers in which, because of this fine adjustment, they may find joyful achievement instead of fruitless drudgery.
