But what if there is greater danger to the soarer, shall we through coward ice, lose forever the triumphant song that shatters the silence of the middle sky? I know that the way is stony and only the high heart can win. It is the steepest path that leads to the highest land. But there the sun comes first and lingers longest. Seven hundred years before Christ, Hesiod said: “ Before virtue the im mortal gods have put the sweat of men’s brow, and long and steep is the way to it, and rugged at the first.” Ay, it is the storm-swept and light ning-splintered crags that “Crush through the clouds And break the still abode of stars.” In that high place, where only the great of earth have stood, there is i - olation, but there need not be loneli ness.

Some one must open the gates and lead us into the new fields of thought and knowledge that lie out yonder in the darkness. Some one must light the torch that all may see.

I am equally anxious with others that the young mental athletes, annually sent forth from our colleges, shall succeed in a financial sense.

Ave. may seem sweeter and more desirable than following with daring feet the forays of the imagination into regions unmapped and measureless, where beauty is immortal and music has many melodies that only the ears of God have heard. Alfred Tennyson seem to have had such a feeling when, wearied from un or just attack, he said that such things “ Makes it seem more sweet to be The little life of bank and brier, The bird that pipes his lone desire And dies unheard within his tree, and Than he that-warbles long and loud And drops at Glory’s temple gates, Farm Implements For whom the carrion vulture waits Done neatly and practically To tear his heart before the crowd!” at prices you can well But this was but the noble rage of afford.
