DR. STRATTON D. BROOKS President of the University of Missouri A father once purchased several musical instruments and said to each of his children : ' ' Take the one of your choice and learn to play it. The children tried one and then another but finally each made a choice, one a violin, one a cornet, one a flute, one a drum, each in accordance with his greatest interest or ability. Years passed during which each of the children practiced with his chosen instrument, some persistently and accurately, some transiently or carelessly. Then they were called before the father who said: My children, the time of practice is over and we must now make use of your accomplishments. My friends are coming to visit me and I wish to assemble you into an orchestra to play for their entertain- ment. Page 17 But when they tried to play, some were too poorly trained to play, and some though individually skillful would not watch the conductor and played too fast or too slow, and some would not keep in tune. The orchestra was a failure and the father was much chagrined. The next day he said: Those of you who cannot play may give back your instruments and go dig ditches. Those of you who can play will be given another trial but if you have not learned that no matter how great your individual talent you must play your part in lime and tune with the whole orchestra, then you too will have to dig ditches. Such is the task of the University: To develop the greatest possible individual efficiency and at the same time the desire and the ability to work in co-operation with our fellow men. Stratton D. Brooks. President.
