Says Confucius Teachings
Applicable Today
“Success has little to do with be
ing rich or poor.; success means
that you have developed all your
talents and latent powers to the
highest possible point. To achieve
this success it is necessary to have
the will to learn, to have faith and
to believe <!hat in our world so full
of fraud and lust and violence,
there are many who are honest, lov
ing and gentle,” declared Colonel
Frank P. Day, noted scholar, dean
of freshmen, and director of the
division of academic studies of the
Carengie Institute of Technology in
Pittsburgh, who spoke before the
faculty and student body at assem
bly yesterday on “The Will to
Learn.”
In making his address, Colonel
Day quoted a. few dicta of Confu
cius, ancient philosopher, which he
declared were just as applicable to
the present generation as to that
of Confucius.
“The world is just as much
troubled today as in the time of
Confucius, with people who affect
the virtues without the will to
learn, people who have a vague love
of goodness or to' approach perfec
tion, before they begin to babble
to others. To be truly good, to
reach a high moral light, to radi
ate gentleness and light, a craving
that we all fqel, is a high aim for
any man or woman to set before
himself or herself and tin approach
to such state can only be achieyed
after years of struggle and reflec
tion. Love of goodness must be
supplemented by the will to learn
goodness or it degenerates and re
veals jtsejf as mere foolishness.
Nor is goodness imparted by word
of mouth or exhortation and advice,
but by the life and behaviour of
the, person who has some part of
goodness.” Colonel Day said on
discussing the sayings of the old
philosopher.
liove of Knowledge virtuous
“But the second virtue, love of
knowledge, with its attendant
shadow, insensibility, is the dictum
that should concern the University
student the most. The world is full
of people who have a vague love of
knowledge but who never exert the
will to learn anything. For learn-!
ing is difficult, it is difficult to
learn to play a decent game of golf,j
to master the violin, to build a [
good bridge or design an er^gine, I
to write even moderately good
prose, to paint a picture. To learn
to do any of these things well, i
takes years of patient effort, to
excel in any one, means a lifetime
of arduous devotion,” Colonel Day
declared. “For every man and wo
m?,£ Who is ^ do something
well, there ia a coterie. 6? dangers
on and critics who hav6 a distant,
love of knowledge but have no
will to learn. ”
“ Instead of becoming mentally1
alert, he wdio has the Will' to learn '
passes through learning, the knowl
edge of facts to understanding, the
meanings and application of facts,
to wisdom, the application of facts
and meaning to life, and to sense
of true values,” was one of the
concluding statements of Colonel
Day. I

Upon speaking of hi*, visit tp; the

a'nd healthier than those di the
East. He said that he was great

to live and declared it to be one
