Your vUltlM •dltor bM begua to find hU tUvvr

Um day wbm thall wtfgUhly obmrrt that be it
a mar1>1e*top among th« oaken altan of academic »anc>
tlty; and that ha amcUi faintly of heUotropa and the
muatlncat of the ancient tomet with which he hat, for*
aooth and of dire necetaity. been ao long ataociated.
U haa been a pleasure to watch your verve, to hear
you tinging and cooing. A bit noataigic, of courte.
For It reminds me of the dear dead days beyond recall,
and of a few pranks which. 1 must confess. I dare not
in my present poaiUon bring to light.
Yet as I bear this violet to the guillotine of the
editor't chair where Old Ed Watts wields scissors and
blue pencil. I summon enough of the spirit of my own
lost youth to dare a quarrel. It's a difference of opin*
ion that makes horse races, isn't it?
Day by day I take my portly front piaixa up the
steps of Alamance and rest me In a chair before a desk
and a class. And the claas is fuU of you. And when
you fail In recitation and 1 iofuire the reason, you tell
me it s the war. The words are boin specious and
spurious. It's you. and you ought to be Jolly well
ashamed to let yourself down and In stupid self-de-
ception and hypocrisy say *il’s the war.” The war is
a total war. You are pait of the nation at war. Uncle
Sam has you here for a purpose, and asks you to double
and triple your effort to get yourself ready to be of
service to the nation. Don't blame anything but your-
aalf for poor atManhl^. TiMrt waa Mirtr a graatar
iaetntlee to do your work wU. Xt*s the war. Sure.
And dont twist the toglc of the meaning the words.
It la war. And hare aa wall aa alaawhara. worh eounta.
You prepare to aarre the nation. Faint hearts and
laiineas kill no Japa. Today’s math will help to navi
gate planes and ahipa and plot the angle of gunnery to
morrow! Today’s knowledge gain, of whatever kind,
makes tomorrow’s man.
This is the center of the world. You can start
from here and go anywhere. Travel Is an educator,
and history is traveling in Time. Travel to the 103rd
Olympiad, B. C.
It is June. Qie sacred month. The athletes have
given the oath to Zeus that they have trained ten
months; the great event of the Olympic Races of old
Greece is about to be run. The giant horse-shoe hill*
side of the ancient stadium Is filled with people for
whom the worship of Wisdom and Beauty and Strength
has long been a custom.
The herald announces: **The twenty-four stadl*
race. One of the golden eagles of the victory pillar
will fall for every stadia nin. He who first touchea
the pillar after the falling of the last eagle, him will I
crown victor.”
Twenty-four times around the track was a great
test of courage and sUmina. and the days of training
counted. Can you see them? An even doten. the pick
of the nation, lithe and beautiful their bodies as they
bent eagerly forwa>^. toes clinging to the starting
grooves in the rock—waiting the signal—over two thou
sand years ago?

Upon the glory of the past today misat build. From
the example of the pa^ the philoaophor takea trtarire.
The cynk aeaa Time as a grty.haard loon. The
wlae man finds In him the andeiit warriar and the
high priest of Wisdom. You are young and your blood
tings high. That ta as it should be. but dont acorn
time and the lore of the ancients. "Wiadom crlea out
in the streeU and no man regards her" says Bullard.
She waits patiently in the books the long years have
prepared for you. You pay tuition to Time. Study
hourt and yeart of college are hard bought. Use them
well. Time stoops to gian*t dure. In thia magnificent
universe he was yesterday too, all our yesterdays, that
have lighted fools the way to dusty death. 1 quote
Swinburne and Shakespeare In garbled fashion, trust
ing to the little minority of scholars in these marble
halls to give ear.
For Time is today also, noble or tawdry, as we
make It: and he is the tomorrow and tomorrow and
tomoimw, in baling pace moving to the la»t syllable
•f the t»-be-recorded years. Shall we say. "Unhand
