In each of you it is different; yet its likenesses exceed its differences. In a sense your personality is a gift. From centuries back your ancestors have passed it on to you. Again, each classmate, friend, or teacher, to a greater or less degree, has shaped it by his touch. The sun of the heaven, the wind, the rain have marked it thus and so.

Dean of Women In seeking the worthwhile life,—the life of satisfaction, let us consider a statement given us by an aged Hebrew prophet as an inspired message from the lx rd God Jehovah: “Them that honor me, I will honor.” “Honoring Jehovah” meant to the ancient prophet inward peace and abundant service to his fellow men. It can mean the same to us.
