HAWORTH'S SUBJECT Professor Samuel H worth began his chapel talk Ti ursday morning by recounting the story of Peter counsel ing the fishermen who had given up all hope of any catch but who still had faith enough to follow Peter's in structions for which they were great ly rewarded. "The person who anticipates failure," said Mr. Ha worth, "Weakens his own effort." The two kinds of failures mentioned were failures without effort and f ilures with effort. Professor Haworth stressed the fact that a suc cessful man has to cultivate the right kind of attitude toward himself and other people. The key point of the talk was that with all failures there is a possibility of turning them into success. "Even the failures of others," concluded Professor H. worth, "May be turned into success."
