A MEDITATION.
So often one thinks of college as a
place where courses of study are pur-
sued, mathematical equations solved,*'
Latin translated, projects fn education
evolved, the contents of a test-tube
analyzed, a flower classified, or the
technique of Bach conquered. These
arc all important in their time and
place, and they are essential parts in
the educational machinery.
There is another cog in this educa-
tional mechanism, however, that is as
important to life's successes as the '
carburetor is to the motors-it is the
ability to be a friend. There are no
courses offered in this field, no meth-
ods of. procedure, no psychology of 0
approach nor rhythmic rhapsodies to
insure its eternal harmonies. From
personality there radiates silent, vital,
force,ful beams that strike congenial
and fertile atmosphere, when lo!- a
miracle! I have become a friend.
Emerson has said "A friend ,may well
be reckoned as the masterpiece of
„nature."
Jesus said, "I have called you my
friends," and in so doing he expressed
the dignity and glory of this rela-
tionship.—II. E. S.
A HUMAN #rONGE.
Are you a human sponge? Ask
yOtfrself this question and see if you
can answer it truthfully when you
sny, no. Are you one of those people
that others run from when they see
you coming ?. Do you just borrow and
borrow until your fellow student
dodges you every time he ge*s a
glimpse of iyqji? ..
Are you-one of those who greets
friends with a blithe ''Hello"—and in
the same breath ask—"Did you get
.your math.; have you been over your
Spanish, here read it to me before we
get to class; did you take notes on
that last lecture, I didn't, and we
have to hand in our notebooks tomor-
row; do you have any stamps; say,
you got any olive oil I can use?" If
you can truthfully say -that you never
ask any such questions, then you are
not a„ human sponge.
Webster says—once a sponge, al-
ways a sponge. Pray tell me do you
intend to go through life sponging on
your fellow man ? If that's your plan,
then you probably won't get very far
in your daily treading.
Ordinarily a sponge is something
that soaks up somelhing, or some-
thing that soaks up moisture. If you
intend to get all of your chemistry*
notes from the other person, and all,
your daily lessons from some source
other than your own, and go through
life this way I'm afraid you won't
be a very absorbing sponge. You
will soon be discarded and thrown'
away. YOU'LL probably be a sponge
tlffct soaks up all the moisture all
right, and there you'll remain with
stagnant water on the brain.—C. II. P.
o
ARE YOU A "GRIPER?"
Have you noticed how some girls
are always griping about the success
of someone else? How they turn up
their noses and sneer every time you
pass a compliment on someone?
Haven't you wondered why they never
seem to enjoy life but always find
something to complain about? Then,
let me ask one other question. Have
you noticed thab these eternaj grip-'
ers have a sour exfl t?ssion on their
faces ? If you have perceived these
things, you have probably already dis-
covered that there is only one reason
for all sarcastic attitude? That one
reason is egotism.
What a glorious' thing life would
be if we could all be- broad-minded
enough io center our interests in mu-
tual succcss. If we could eradicate
the demonic influence of selfishness.
If we could thrill with pride when a
classmate goes a step higher. Then
we would all be boosting ourselves and
others to success. We would trample
to earth jealousy and Her conspira-
tors, and establish harmony with her
beautiful co-operation. Then we
would really know the meaning of that
word Success.
-«Stop now and consider your own
attitude. Be fair and square as you
answer the question "Am I guilty of
debasing some personality?" Then
pause a moment and add "Guilty or
not guilty I will be more considerate
in the future."
HAPPINESS.
There is a belief in the minds of
many that possibly under some other
sky, or in the midst of other scenes,
or with somfp^ther people, happiness
may be found. Somewhere there is a
fairyland where all things $re carried
out on some lofty perfect plan, some
transcendental system, where we poor
mortals can "r at more, and sleep long-
er, and be dressed up all the time, go
to classes when we want to and learn
what we want to and take no heed of
that which we do not care to learn,
get up and wa)k out of a class when
it's not just what we want it to be or
just doesn't happen to suit our mood
and temperament; some wonderful
land where meals need no cooking,
and where disjy>s--ww.sli themselves;
some place where people always tell
the truth, and where debts need no
paying! There must be some land
where tlyj weary soul can be satis-
fied and find rest! v *
Here we go flitting here and there
and yet we are not happy. Thou-
sands every year rush across the sea
to Europe. What for? U> search of
happiness, so they say, pleasure and
the beautiful, heedless of the fact that
if they can enjoy themselves in cer-
tain surroundings and under certain
cohdititfns that, they can also enjoy
o
themselves here in America. ^The
measure and limit of gladness is in
own naturoand^jiiot in one's op-
portunities and means, but wholly and
only in# one's nature.
Johnny, a little poor boy, was once
heard singing a song "which goes
something like this, "Would you have
the blues for a pair of shoes?" You
still have a pair of feet." He felt
that be had no right to cgmplain of
his condition when he saw each day
men without feet. His nature was such
that he was happy and content with
what he had.
Happiness is not in the worlu; it is
in the heart, fo't tbe human heart, just
like a garden, if it is properly fcul-
tured, will bring forth blossoms in
abundance. Sow the seeds of cheer-
fulness and the flowers of joy will
spring into life; neglect it and the
thorns of fx-et'fulness and the weeds
£> misery wijl be in the harvest. Hap-
piness would be'far more common if
men and women only possessed suf-
ficient common sense to know when
they are satisfied. Everything de-
pends upon one's nature.—C. H. R.
o
MOST MEN.
There's something kind of pitiful
About a man that growls
Because the sun beats down too hot,
Because the wild winds howl,
Who never eats a meal, but what
"The cream ain't jt^iick enough,"
"The coffee ain't been settled right,"
Or else "'A'he meat's too tough,"
Po8? chap, he^s just a victim
Of fate's oldest, meanest trick.
You'll see by watching mules and men
They need no brains to kick.
—The Wichitan.

Books and Thirtrjs
By AVONEL MYRICK. o
I was just ambling about yester-
day, with no particular destination in
mrnd, and happened to end up in the
library. Now I like books, and since
I was disregarding my required read-
ing, I had {'he whole collection at my
disposal. I naturally hunjted out the
poetry first, for it is my favorite type
of literature. If I might be allowed
to sit on the floor with stacks of poet-
ry volumes around me, I would be
perfectly happy. But since this was
hardly possible in the library, I had
almost as much fun sitting in a chair
and reading it.
I was looking over a little volume
by Duncan, Robinson, titled "Rainbow
f'jjjpbons," and found a lovely poem:
"Today"
The future is shrouded in silence,
The past holds tinges of gray,
And all that is-certain possession:
Lies deep in the heart of today.
The dawn, and the glory of sunset,
Xfce-Tvonder of roads that are new;
The purple we see at the twilight, '
The red on the breast of the dew.
Perhaps the way leads on to fortune,
Or it may be the dust o* the way;
But, God, in thy infinite mercy—
We thank th#l for beauty Today^
