TF E ELQHANITE A nnua V i . g A TALMUDICAL ACADEMY Eaczficafiorz For twenty centuries since the harharous Roman empire militarily overwhelmed the Jewish nation and destroyed its statehood. the Jewish people has turned in its prayer, thought, and aspirations to the reestab- lishment of that state. The lllfllly centuries of exile cloaked the creative vigor of the Jewish nation with that hope born of despair. that oyer- powering Messianic hope that precluded any aggressive and forceful action designed for the reenactment of that national drama. the Jewish state. In our generation that prayer has hegun to hecome a reality. That aspiration has begun to become an actuality. Unhowed by the perlidy of Britain and other great nations, unawed hy the British-Arab military might, the Jew stands with resolution and courage on the soil of his ancestors. Witll his strength derived from the knowledge that all the sacred soil of Palestine is his, with his valor stemming from the justice of his cause, the Jew needs no commissions or yacillating. impotent leaders or organizations to grant or slice away any portion of his land. For Biblically and historically the Jew possesses all of Palestine. And Jewish statehood will colne territorially to fruition only when every square mile of Jewish soil is in Jewish hands. The statehood achieved at the cost of much gallant Jewish hlood provides the medium for the rexilalization of the Jewish religion and culture. The Jewish nation the world oyer looks to Israel with hope and expectation. To the Jewish state of Israel with llilmlical houndarics and Biblical vitality we dedicate this hook of high school ineinories. -titres? 58TU' 7111773 DDD71 51?

SAMUEL BELKIN April, 19-18 To The Student-Body: You, the students of our Talmudical Academy. and particularly the Graduating Class of 1948 have great reason to rejoice, for your period of transition from boyhood into manhood was spent in the ideal atmosphere of Torah learning and modern culture. l watched your gradual progress and I was inspired by your spirit, and by the selfless devotion of your Roshei ha-Yeshiva and teachers. I exhort you to remain steadfast in our religious beliefs: in the mode of living and in the ethical and spiritual convictions which are the essence and guiding spirit of our lives. It is only by the immortal truths of the Torah and our sacred traditions, by being true to ourselves and our sacred heritage that we can best serve ourselves and our fellowmen. Godliness as the foundation of our lives: obedience to the Divine Law of the Torah, and usefulness for the common-good of mankind are tht- fundamental parts of the training of a Yeshiva man. These sacred values you must always bear in mind, as well as in action. Sincerely yours, SAMUEL BELKIN. Presitlent. -twelve- , - ' ' I-,, 'NR Kris! L' f ,wtf f as 3 ,M , III DR. SHELLY R.

Every day at a preordained time, a slave of the Yeshiva tribe is seen kneel- ing in front of various doors and rubbing them furiously. It is maintained by lnost students of primitive cultures that this is a rite dating back many years. Attempts are being made to introduce modern methods into this uncivilized community. Wild con- jectures have been made as to the exact length of time a person can endure the stren- nous process of rubbing the doors. The re- sults of recent scientific investigations show that thc amount of calories consumed is enormous. The problem to reckon with now, is how to transform the static electricity pro- duced by the rubbing, into electrical current. Professor Albert Feinstein has evolved a for- mula through which this ca11 be accom- plished.

T.A.'s monthly publication, the Academy News, was issued this term under the direction of Editors-in-Chief Clarence Berkowitz and Arthur Tauh, and Managing Editor David lilostofsky. A great deal of surplus material remains intact for use in the coming, issues of the paper. Mr. Leibel, newly appointed advisor to student publications, has devised a new program to help the paper in its publication. This program will go into effect in September of 194-8. The Academy News this term secured an appropriation from the Student Council which enabled it to purchase! special stationery for its own use. ln addition, the administration has granted the paper a subsidy amounting to one hundred and twenty-five dollars to ai-d in its publication for the coming year. With the combination of Mr. Leibel's literary aid, and the administration's financial aid, we predict a bright future for the Academy News. l l l ,UI XIDICNIY NEXX S ST,Xl lf S-fifty-olicg degoolfiag acdezfq TALMUDICAL ACADEMY DEBATING SOCIETY ARTHUR TAUB STANLEY BALTER GORDON ASH -fifty-twu- NIR. l,lt1ll'I'lCNliI'lIUL Debating .Alrlz'i.ser de Zedmfin acdelq This year as always, rle-hating has been one of the learling interscholastic activities iu TA.

They include botany, protozology, and entimology. A small library has been assembled by the Clllb containing many useful references. The protozoology section worked during the year in the biology laboratory of Yeshiva University under the supervision of Dr. Meyer Atlas. The members of this group experimented with the effects of heat, electricity and lights on the one celled organism, the paramecium caudatum. At the present time, the club is preparing slides, revealing the various structures of the paramecium. In addition, they are classifying the numerous protozoa which they have col- lected on their field trips. The members have the unlimited use of a medical microscope, a slide projector, and the opportunity of acquiring additional knowledge through the many texts available. Another functioning part of the Biology Club is the botany section, un-der the direction of Merton Goldstein and Charles White. The members have been growing plants and flowers, and have been working extensively on the dif- ferent plant tropisms and plant cytology. A large variety of plants and flowers are being classified for exhibition. The third section of the Biology Club is working on a project of ento- mology and heredity. Led by Marvin Kaplan it has made observations con- cerning the life processes of different insects and their numerous instincts. Other projects include breeding rabbits and studying their peculiar eye traits. The biology section of the Science Club is proud of the work it has ac- complished this semester, and each group is planning an even wider and more comprehensive program for next term. PHYSICS SECTION This term the Physics section of the Science Club. under the expert guid- ance of Mr. Mandelkorn, concentrated throughout most of the term in the field of radio. Mr. Mandelkorn spent many hours teaching the fundamentals of radio to the club members. Individual radio and phonograph sets were con- structed by various members of the Club. The revitalized Physics Section is a source of pride to T..-Xfs student hody. Deep gratitude is -due Mr. Mandelkorn for his selfless devotion to these extra- curricular activities. The Physics Section.. together with the Biology Section. has many plans for the future. Among the projects to be carried out are a scientific exhibit in the High School Library and the showing of moyies in the I.amport Audi- torium on various topics related to l'hysics. Chemistry and Biology. -fifty-fivce- A LIBRARY SCENE ARY C0MM1T TEE A SECTIONAL VIEW Y? ll DOC INSTRUCTING IN THE STUDY HALL f--:I , -W I -fifty-six- U III The T.A. library has taken great stricles in ilu- last year toxsarzls its goal of supplying the stnrlents with better ancl newer books. both in tht- rc-ff-rem-v anml circulation departments.

The Mites were successful in their encounters with Creston Prep. Brooklyn T.A.. Immaculate, Hoopsters. and dropped their three games to Cathedral, Frank- lin. and Creston The IHOST thrilling game of the season was by far the contest with Cathedral. Tied at sixteen all in the first half, Tal- mudical monopolized the court for the third quarter to lead 24- to 17. With the fouling out of Kat Krieger, however, Tahnudical could not cope with the height of the boys from the Concourse, and was nosed out in the Hnal minute of play, 31-28. This was the Hnal season of play for Krieger. Kupchick, Tepper and Eck- stein. The remaining squad members, however, together with a few new players, promise to field a strong team next year. The members of the team included co-captains Krieger and Tepper, Red Kupchick, Hal Eckstein. Ed Margolin, Seymour Eidman. Dave Horowitz, ,lack Kramer, Fred Horowitz, and Joshua Scherer.

Through the efforts of Jacob an-tl Edmond Frankel, the famous Katz brothers, former players on the Hatikvah Soccer Team, agreed to coach the team. A field permit for the use of the Van Cortlandt Park field was secured. Twenty players from all the New York boroughs turned out for the first practice, and chose Al Lieber and Benny Raab as co-captains. Through hard work, the team was quickly whipped i11to shape. Talmudicalis first encounter was with the Yeshiva College team. The thrilling contest resulted i11 a 1-l tie. Several games are scheduled for the coming month.

N '7alZe By MOSES PRIESTLY You are lonely, British soldier! And you know how it feels, To be hated. Despised by The young woman in the market, who called you beast, The little boy, who threw gravel in passing, The wise old man who laughed in your face. You ask yourself-why- What can there be about me that they find so repulsive, About my country and nation, they find so loathsome? Alas! I do know why, you answer, But that knowledge only serves to grieve me As it should grieve any person Who lfnows he is wrong Yet desires not vindication. Yes, we are wrong, and they are right For we have no right in this, their land. In India we said we were helping to feed the starving, Malaya needed our help in developing her natural resources, And the Egyptian was sorely lacking in government and organization. We were nzore than mere colonizers. We fed, and clothed, and taught the masses. And we deemed ourselves, the couriers of civilization. But what say we here? Where there is civilization Where are none in need of our aid Where there is no cause for our presence Save the cause of enzpire. A lengthy war has found its climax. Yet the demagogues continue to preach Of democracy and of freedom, Of a great nation that brings peace, And prosperity to an embittered world. I have seen this nation at work.

One of these is an existing or desired agency, whether of thought or action or merely being, the other a force which tends to impede or alter that agency in its function. All problems must necessarily be caused by such a conflict, neither factor in itself playing a lead role in the problem. lt follows too that all problems have a solution which may be achieved ill one of two ways, either by the removal of the im- pediment, or by altering the agency so as to be consistent with the impediment. Either of these solutions may have drastic results in their practical application, but they unquestionably elilninate the problem as such. The complete obliteration of European Jewry coupled with the physical diminution of Palestinian Jewry casts a universal limelight, as far as Jews are concerned, o11 an old problem and its solution facing the American Jewish Community. The spirit of Anti-semitism which has run rampant over the world since the inception of Semitism takes it most complex form in America, for it is not allowed the same channels of expression that might be given it in other lands. It constitutes a very genuine physical danger nevertheless, and eventually may take proportions which we do not even dream of in present day America. Even now it has created an under-current of influence upon the fundamentals of American liberties. We are stockholders in freedoms that are superficial when Jews get jobs, and with liberties that Jews cannot enjoy. The immediate discomforts that our people may undergo in this country are of no individual importance, and yet they are a sure sign of the insipient germ that follows Jews around the world. We may, to some degree, simplify the enigma which Anti-semitism in America presents, and make it easily conform to the problem pattern which we have set up. Wle may then consider the American Jew part of an agency impeded by the existence of Anti-semilism, and further following our pattern solve this problem by either removing Anti-semitism or changing the status of the Jew to appease that force. The first solution is for all practical purposes useless, for the results of an intensive educational campaign against Anti-semitism, even if universally applied, could not be seen for several generations, and the necessity for a -sixty-eighti- solution is a more immediate one. If we were to attempt. on tht- other hand. to do away with it hy law. there would be no results at any time. for the law may control only the actions, not the prejudices of men. and eu-n the-se only for a limited period. Since the impediment cannot be removed without great difficulty, tht- necessary solution to this puzzle is to alter the status of the ,lew in America in such a manner that is no longer conflicts with that impediment. At first glance it would seem that the simplest way to accomplish this end would be to assimilate the ,lews of America, and remove from them any trace of .lewishness. History has negated the possibility of this. however. for in all lands wllere it has been attempted, assimilation has proved a miserable failure in overcoming Anti-semitism. The peculiar problem of the American ,lew is a dilemma. He cannot destroy Anti-semitism as such and cannot change himself in such a manner as to invalidate that force. It seems that when we try to retain our Jewislmess. we are looked upon with fear and distrust as a strange and dangerous invader on the shores of the land i11 which we dwell. On the other hand, when we try to assimilate ourselves to the culture of that land, exactly the same reaction is formed, and we are declared clowns and mimics. And in either case. .lews are still treated uneqnally and unjustly, whether in practice alone or in prin- cipal too. Destroy the malignant forces of Anti-semitism through education! We cannot. Destroy ourselves as Jews and frustrate the goal of this evil! Even if we could, we would not. Then there is 110 solution in the near or immediate future to the problem of Anti-semitism in America. its power can only be broken through many generations of education which very nearly involves changing human nature itself, for this seelns to be an almost inborn trait in the Gentile world. It has manifested itself so steadily throughout history. that we can hardly hope to destroy it now. There is no solution to this commdrnm. as I see it, and only the mass emigration of the American Jewish Community to Palestine can provide illly hope for the physical survival of the American Jew. Anti-Semitism cannot be easily destroyed in America. but Semitism can. Throughout history, Palestine has been the only land in which ,lews can live uninhibited, and sadly enough. it is so today. There is as yet no land so civil- ized that its people can live happily without some clash of majority and minority interests. This is as true in America. as it has proved to be in cv cry other land of the Colah. and for the American ,lew as well as for ,lcws in other Calut land, only Palestine can provide the security ncccssary for a normal existence. IJ - sixty-nine 4 Oldman! new By Zsv HALEVI The sun was setting slowly on the Friday afternoon I left our new apart- ment to make 111y first visit to the neighborhood synagogue. A short walk along the tree li11ed parkway brought me to an unimpressive one family house. Entering the modest structure, I was struck by the fine taste shown in the decoration of the interior., and by the sense of peace and beauty that pervaded its atmosphere, Looking about, I noticed for the first time in a corner pew, a tall, gaunt man with a long flowing beard, dressed in the traditional attire of the Mold country. The lingering rays of sunlight played up and down his lined face, lending an almost fearful saintliness to his features. I stood there transfixed watching his ICHII frame sway rhythmically to the ancient melody of the Talmud. Centuries of Jewish tradition were embodied in his personage. Here was a living symbol of the dwindling center of Judaism that was Europe! For many weeks afterward I frequented the humble synagogue, overjoyed at sharing its pleasant atmosphere. Reb Shlomo for that was the name of the tall man, was always there, studying, chanting the Torah for the congre- gation, and moving about quietly an-d unobtrusively. I never spoke to him, yet I felt a great reverance for this well mannered man, to whom I attributed all of the characteristic greatness of European Jewry. It was just about the time that the first buds of spring were blossoming, and the glowing sun was beginning to compensate for the long drawn out winter, that the congregation welcomed i11to its midst the young and wealthy ,l. W7ertheimer. The new arrival lost no time in dominating local politics. He was welcomed at first as a younger and more practical influence, who could aid the synagogue, though one could not help being amused tand frequently depressed? by seeing the arrogant, rabid cigar smoking 'Gmoneymanv sitting and praying beside the older leaders. Throughout the summer, the little syna- gogue grew in external wealth, organized social functions, and prepared a fund raising drive for a new building.. ELCHANITE Ill Modernization, though important for the expansion of religion's influence, was in the case of this traditional shule, hringing ahout decay. Social progress creating new and better institutions, too often destroys existing institutions prematurely. The older men were hewildere-d hy the How of events. Reared and educated in a different society, they could not in their waning years adapt themselves to twentieth century modes. Fall arrived, and Elll impressive drawing of the ultra modern community center and synagogue to he erected, was conspicuously displayed in the shule. With the advent of the Idrawing, the now numerous campaign workers were spurred on to greater efforts, and hectic months of activity followed. New members had swelled the ranks of the Sabbath worshippers, and although there were few changes, the older members kept more a11d more to themselves. turning always to Reb Shlomon for guidance. L'Reh Shlomo, as always, chanted the Torah, studied, and moved quietly about. At times I felt l detected a hurt expression in his eyes, as he gazed at the pagan god the drawing of the new center represented. 'Winter snows came and melted. Neighborhood children found themselves C' a 11ovel and exciting playground in the framework of the new building. Progress was slow but rewarding, and at lonv last the much antiei rated dav arrived. U U 1 . The sun glowed warmly ill honor of the dedication ceremonies. and the trees of the parkway were resplendent in their hright green foliage. yet strolling down the now familiar lane, I felt unusually depressed. The completed community center towered majestically over the surround- ing area, and shone brilliantly in the early afternoon. An overflow erm-.l had come to celehrate the occasion. The center's rostrum. which seated outstanding community leaders, was beautifully decorated with pleasantly scented flowers. The hall reverherated with the sounds of the joyous crowd, as speaker after speaker praised the fruitful efforts of the synagogue heads. noting the impor- tance of the center to the community. At the addresses ended. the hahhling crowd retired to the salon to continue its chipper gossip, while the younger couples glided over the dance floor. It was truly a glorious celehration which heralded great success for the center. Amidst the tunnlltuous festivities, no one seemed to notice that Heh Shlomo wasn't there. fscyelity-out ELCHANITE 69Az!af74m0mm By MOSHE COHEN Dark is the night.

Today at a ti111e wl1e11 the United Nations is tottering, when the cruel specter of war daily grows more clear, we may indeed gaze in retrospect at the devoted colonial patriot of rare intellectual ability, Bcnjaniin Franklin.

WOHLGELERNTER In the long and sorrowful history of the Jews, there have been many tragic chapters. To commemorate a catastrophe that befell our people, we reminisce that woeful episode as a day of national lament. The periods of mourning have become part of the traditional Jewish lore alongside the gala festivals and days of rejoici11g. There is, however, a certain uniqueness i11 the Jewis mourning. He does not merely bewail his past sufferings, but finds consolation in the reaffirmation of his faith and hope for the future. One of the most significant of these melancholy days is the 11inth day of the Hebrew 1no11tl1 of Ab. On that memorable date, the Jew began his centuries of torment and anguish. On that day the Jews were shor11 of their temple, their land, and their independence. They became a wandering nation, treading over foreign lands among strange people. That day will never be forgotten . . . 'flf I forget thee 0 Jerusalem, let my right hand lose its cunningf' Nineteen painful centuries have passed: nineteen centuries seething with in- nocent Jewish blood. Nineteen centuries of oppression, torture, and persecution, have not diminished our trust in the Almighty. Year in, year out, we mourn and hope .... never forgetting. Our tears and hopes are blended i11to a fiery flame which can never be quenched! The Ninth day of Ab comes again. The day is bleak. Dark clouds cover the horizon, and a slight rain is falling. It seems as if the heavens themselves are joining us i11 our flood of tears. The su11 is setting . . . The earth will soon be enveloped in darkness as our people has been these many years of exile. We walk slowly to the house of worship between the shadows of drooping trees. We enter the peaceful and quiet synagogue. All is dark save the dim light of the flickering Calldle casting shadows upo11 the bare and dismal walls. All are crouched on tl1e floor, their pensive eyes fixed on the earth. The mute silence is broken by the chanting of the fervid prayers in barely audible voices. The reader presently begins the age old lamentations of our people i11 a low melancholy voice. From our already overflowing eyes, tears trickle down our cheeks. The solenm musical to11e resounding from the gloomy walls is inscribed within us . . . forever! So, nineteen centuries later, just as our fathers of old by the rivers of Babylon, we sit and weep when we remember Zion . . . Our weeping, however, is different. It is filled with a hope and longing for the future. Our eyes are turned eastward to that thin gray thread on the far horizon 1 Eretz Israel! Time has constantly added to our sorrows. Our cup of tears has been con- tinually replenished: The Spanish Inquisition, the Chmelnicki Massacres, and most recently, Auschwitz, Maiclaliak, and Treblinka. Israel has lived in dark- ness, but 11ever in despair. Wie, who have weathered every storm, every form of cruelty that fiends could devise, renew our faith in the Almighty. Wlielt at times it appeared that the agonizing pain of our suffering people would ex- tinguish the last spark of hope, an exalted faith that is altogether beyond human comprehension filled the heart of every Jew. It seems as if divine presence strengtheneld the Jewish soul with a faith that is ll0t of this world. For ahnost two millenia, the Jew, amid his affliction, has dreamed of, 31111 prayed for the return to his land. During all his struggles he has not lost sight of his goal, nor his sense of survival. After such a long darkness, dawn must arrive. The complete brilliance of our renaissance is as yet not visible, but one can already perceive a bright glimmer. The tl1i11 gray on the far horizon is becoming ever clearer. The Ani Maamin of the Jew is that ray of light in the vanguard of the great redemption which is bound to come soon in our days ....

At this stage i11 Jewish history W'l16l1 world Jewry looks to the reborn state of Israel with the faith that that sacred soil will provide the locus for the revitalization of the Jewish religion and culture, it is appro- priate to examine the life of this remarkable personality who in his own age made monumental contributions which enriched considerably the Jewish heritage. Luzzato was a complex personality encompassing diverse fields with a vague hEl1'll1Ol1y. On the one hand he was steeped in mysticism the wrote a second Zohar-the Zohar Tinyanal. Based O11 a deep religious fervor, his delving into the secrets of the Kabbala was like a -drug which dominated him to the extent that even excommunication could IIOI cause its aba11do11- ment. Contrasted with the foregoing and yet directed towards the same goal was Luzzatto the poet, whose works possess the rare qualities of power, sensi- tivity, depth, alld vivid imagery. He penetrated into the secrets of nature, speaks with fervor of that noble human passion of love, a11d, ill general reveals a masterfulness and modernity that impel many authorities to place him alongside the great ,Iehuda Halevi. It would, illtlffed, at Hrst glance appear that there was 110 overall design i11 the works of a man who wrote Derech Tezfunoth on the proper method- ology of the Talmud: Lishon. Limmudim., a treatise 011 rhetoricg lllessilath Yeshorim, a work on ethics: Zohar Tinyana, an imitation of the Zoharg La- Yishorim Tvhila - a drama that provided a transition between the old and the modern Hebrew literature. But on closer analysis we see that his works are 11ot a hodge-podge of disconnected topics. For there is a singleness of purpose, an all-embracing unity ill the writings of Luzzatto. That unity, as will be dwelt upon below, was a fervent love of God, a zealous devotion which is remarkable in its depth a11d magnitude. Before examining the d0llllllillll pattern that was interwoven ill the fabric of Lnzzatta's productions, it may be wise to briefly examine the story of his life. Moses Chayim Luzzatto was born in l707 in the city of Padua, the so11 of wealthy parents. He received a thorough Jewish and secular edu- cation. In his early youth he was introduced to poetry and mysticism, he proved himself so adept in the latter that at the age of fifteen he established a class ill Kabbulla. He began to write at a very early age. At the age of ELCHANITE +scxcnty-ci,ght- IDI fifteen he wrote an elegy on thc death of his teacher. The ambitious I.:-shun: Limmudim and lllaasci Shimshon followed shortly thereafter. By the time ht- was all of 21, he composed not only a psaltcry of one hun-rlreml and fifty psalms twritten not to replace as some have claimed, but rather to imitate the psalms of David! but also one of his crowning poetic achievements, llligdal 0: an allegorical drama. After this he became completely absorbed in the study of Kabballa. There are some who have claimed that hc came to think of himself as the Messiah. though this was probably not the case. His irresistable devotion to the lfabballa caused him considerable personal misfortune, including excommunication and the burning of his works. Finally he embarked for Palestine and settled in Sefad, the bastion of mysticism. hoping that he would there find freedom to speculate unhindered in the com- plexities of the Kaballa. But he died shortly thereafter at the age of 40 in a plague that swept the city. The unified totality that is Luzzatto can be understood if we examine his approach to several of the problems that have troubled ,lewish philosophers for centuries. To Luzzatto's mind God created the world because of llis infinite Goodness. Man was created imperfect so that he could aspire to and work for the ultimate goal, which is understanding the unity of God. The vehicle to achieve this en-zl is that of the Milzvolli which Cod in His infinite goodness granted to 1112111 to facilitate the task. Man's conduct. and herein is involved Israel's function as a people., determines how long man will have to await for the arrival of Messianic day. The pinnacle of achievement that Man can hope to attain is that of constantly being in the presence of God. of being imbued with overpowering love of Cod. Herein lies the essential unitv of Luzzatlo. l.ove of God. service to lloel are the dominant themes that run through his dramas lwhich are allegorical in naturei. through his liahballistic works. through his ethical treaties. and even through his poetry of love and adoration of the beauties of nature. Service to., and love of. God e all l1un1a11 passions. all human striviugs must be directed to that one. unified. all-embracing goal. Yxtttttlt-llltlc' ELCHANITE 7555, ljfziilz Caffsc! .Life BY MELYIN LAWRENCE Jonathan White was old. His skin was creased and lined: his complexion sallow and pasty. Jonathan White had k11ow11 life, and had wallowed through its severest storms, but life had passed him by. He was old and about to die. Not that death was a great personal tragedy in itself. When bones are so worn that they lose all flexibility, and when reflexes fail to respond, living is but a prolongation of needless agony. And so, Jonathan White accepted the inevitable. Calmly he awaited the coming of the Angel of Death. Outside tl1e sun was shining. At intervals a gush of Yfllld would pick a leaf off a tree, and carry it down past ,lonathan's window, so that he saw the leaf and sensed its bright coloring. Jonathan listened to the clamor of the street below. A little girl chanted a meaningless tune to the turning of a rope. A boy cursed in harsh tones, and even the vulgarity of his words sounded sweet and melodious to the old man. Professor Reynolds sat beside ,lonathanls bed. He was a short man with horn-rimmed glasses, and he wore a dull gray pin-stripe suit. You are a great man, ,lonathan.,,' he said. f'The world will always re- member you. Your contributions to literature will never be forgottell. Cultured people everywhere will pay you tribute for generationsf, Jonathan heard the song of a bird, and listened to the wind as it rustled among the trees. He looked up, through the window and at the sky, tilting his head to the side to avoid the sun's glare. HI understand, continued the professor, hthat you were quite poor as a boy. They say you are a true example of a self made man. It must be a won- derful feeling to know that youlye made your way 011 your ow11. Now I've always had things easy. Perhaps thatis why youiye succeeded where l've failed, why you are a renowned man of letters, while lim a mere professor of Englishf' Jonathan did ll0t answer. The expression of his face bespoke great torment. He scowled with discomfort, hating the man who sat before him, hating his thick glasses, his gray pin stripe suit, and longing to tell him so. The professor rambled on. He discussed the books Jonathan had written. jonathan, you have a marvelous understanding of life. 1,11 always remember how you captured the simple motions of a wind blown leaf and translated them into print. Yours. Jonathan, is true literature, splen-did literature, litera- ture pregnant with art, literature that will clailn its place alongside the classics of all timef, The door opened. and a figure clad in white appeared. I am sorry. youill have to leave nowf' interrupted the nurse. The professor pumped ,lonathanis lifeless l1a11d and with a last meaningful look left the room. -cighty- The hours dragged by and still Jonathan waited. His 4-yes were vlo-ed as if in slumber, but his senses were alcrt to the sounds around him. Voices cami- to him from the hall. I'll try to get away as soon as possible, John, but you know how it is. The old man may need me. He isnit expected to last very long, though. Tha- Doc said that tonight would be his last. Jonathan recognized the voices as those of his nurse and the young intern to whom she was engaged. Hxxflllll. a pity, he thought. Hthat I didn't dit- earlier. so that the young woman could keep her rendezvous with her lover. It was past midnight. Tile nurse had dropped in to see how he was getting along. The silence of the room frightened her, and from want of something better to say she passed some remark about his being a great author. Jonathan glanced ui for a moment. Tell me, he said his voice eager c- l 1 '- with anticipation, Have you ever read any of my books? The nurse flushed a deep red. No, she said, but then live hear so much about you and . . . It was now almost morning. Jonathan felt a strange exhilaration, as though his ennervated cells had suddenly found new life. He understood that this was but a momentary respite before death. He had mentioned this respite many times in his books. Suddenly, his eyes widened as if in understanding. The pat- tern of his life stood lucid before his eyes. His lips moved as he saw a vision of a professor before him. The professor was eulogizing him. You are a man who has risen above common-placenessf' Jonathan fumed. Anger, deep and strongly felt possessed his features. 'SI have done nothingf, he cried. My life has been in vain. Look down on to the street a11d to the children at play. Listen to their peals of laughter. Their's alone is a true life. Have you ever laughed, professor? I mean really laughed, without affec- tation, so that you felt it ill your heart and heard it as more than a hollow ringing in your ears. 6'If I have indeed risen above triviality as you say, then I no longer belong. Once when I was young and commonplace l roamed the gutter and I was content, for I belonged. Now, I'm an outsider, looking in. l've become great and in doing so have lost contact. Look at yourself, professor. It's spring., you should be wearing twet-ds instead of your dismal gray. In spring a young manis fancy turns to thoughts of love. Tell me. have you ever been in love, professor? Wie are two futile bachelors. If we have lived. we have lived vicariously. Wie know nothing of life as it exists beyond our limited confines? ,lonathan's lips stopped their motion. a tear trickled across his elim-k and down on to the pillow. He heard pcals of laughter and he heard young voices at play. His eyes closed.
