The opinion that men of high
scholarship in college seldom win
distinction after graduation is
prevalent among a large number
of people. Many think that the
students who make the best rec
ords in their books are usually the
ones who pass into oblivion alter
they finish their college career.
Regardless of the extent of this
opinion, if we examine the records
of some of our standard colleges
we will find that it is groundless
and only an excuse for many stu
dents not doing their best work.
The argument is often set forth
that what we get out of books is
only a small part of what we get
out of college life; that when we
get out of school we are not going
to come in contact with books as
much as with people and that we
need to prepare ourselves to face
the everyday problems of life.
These beliefs are true. But the
best way we can accomplish this
is to be thorough in all our school
work.
The large number of graduates
who have become eminent in after
life were scholars of the highest
rank. It is a rare thing that a
student of low rank in college has
attained great eminence before
the world. The librarian of Dart
mouth College, when asked about
their students who had won pre
eminence, said that nearly all of
them gave promise of the future
while in college. And the records
of any of our colleges show that
the most distinguished of its grad
uates were, as a rule, among its
most distinguished scholars. In
fact, it is difficult to find an emi
nent man in any profession who
was not in his student days an
eminent scholar.
It is not difficult to discover the
reason for the fact that those who
are first in the struggle for college
honors are first in the struggle for
the honors of the world. These
causes exist in the physical, moral
and mental characteristics and
the beneficial results which How
from four years of hard mental la
bor. If Ave notice these character
istics severally we find that each
of them is of vital importance in
either a good student or a good
citizen. So if we wish to become
invaluable citizens, let us become
invaluable' students.
Y. W. C. A. NOTES,
The V. W. C. A. was especially
favored last week by having Mrs.
Alice Woody Lindley to lead the
meeting. Her subject was "Put
First Things First." After read
ing a part of the fifth chapter of
Matthew the leader gave this mot
to: "When wealth is lost nothing
is lost, when health is lost some
thing is lost, when character is
lost everything is lost," and that
character depends upon the abil
ity to choose. She gave as a strik
ing example "Ruth.'' who put first
things first. She also read a
pledge that was taken only last
week at a Pennsylvania college by
nearly a thousand V. M. C. A. men
at a convention at which John R.
Mott was present: "My purpose
with the help of God is to pay
what it costs to be a sincere fol
lower of Jesus Christ."
What does it cost to be a Chris
tian? We need most of nil to
conquer ourselves and put Christ
first in our lives.
In choosing a friend faith
conies first. So with Christ; then
loyalty follows.
To have a friend we must he a
friend—pay the price. We need
Christ of course and he needs us.
Christ had such faith in His
disciples that He left no written
message, but trusted them to tell
of His love.
The Y. W. C. A. meeting for
Thursday evening, Feb. IS, was
conducted by Maude Lee Culler.
It was an "In Memoriani" service
for Miss Grace H. Dodge, the late
president of the National Board
of Y. W. Christian Associations,
and was planned by this board to
be held by all Associations.
The leader opened the service by
reading a few of Miss Dodge's best
loved Bible verses, after which
was a responsive reading of the
one hundred and third Psalm;
then she concluded by some words
of appreciation for Miss Dodge as
one of the most widely known and
loved of American women.
