Both groups have lost much ol an curlier ision. an older faith in spiritual values. nd it is of this unhappy period that you arc the produc Is. and it is in this unhappy period that 011 must live.

I'm him, long years of hard work are the preparation lor a life ol heaw responsibilities, ol cares and burdens and sac rifices that the layman does not assume. It may be a rich and satisfying lile hut it is not an easy life—not a life for the weak or the inclolent or the sell indulgent. ( hie ol llu- him lions ol the college is let help a student to accpiire the habit of hard, conscientious, thorough work, the habit of undertaking cheerlully a difficult, uninviting task and carrying it through to sue c cssful completion. nd the- college must help the man of ability to learn to c arry more than one man s burden and to regard his responsibilities as a sacred trust. Do you expec I college to inc rease your wage-earning power?
