On Looking
L t me saj in the beginning thai this article be intend-
el foi nisi those ccitaiii few who have the itatuic bestowed
c pilnliles of goingto an institution of highci leaining in
cident ll culled a college and pissing all then coutses with-
out so much as def n.t-lv leading an entne lc-son assign
m nt. Natutally these bisons would be in books but strange
as the c.isc m i com theie implements or lmpedemcnts ap
peat tolc legal ded as tinncccsaty burdens to lv can ad to
and fioii classes t kon home and laid on the ttble theie
to leposo in peace without having thetr pages disturbed with
thumbing Then a dav or two latet their unconcerned owner
takes them to c'ass again and makes a check matk at the
place where the lesson h being assigned (l nill have to
amend this statement tmce some books ncvei see inside a
classtoom ) To continue this check mark a notation of the
lesson is often unnecessaiy since it conveys no meaning
whatsoovci into the fcitile biain of the ownei of the book
who if he accidt ntallv wue to decide to read the lesson
would wondei what that maik was doing in his biok
Are you beginning to catch the dnft of my "essiy"?
ft is the idea on the piit of those individuals of whom
I si e k tin t (ho so called college is a place whcie ones comes
altoi ds classis foi a penod of foui years entcts into a few
ex li a cuiiiculai activities a few social affans and collects
a stt of dull liooks which ho cannot sell back ftom whcie
t'ie come Thai at the end of this penod of time he walks
acios- a pi itfoini is handed a roll of papci called a diploma
signifying to the woild that he is anothei victim of this
thing called a college education
1'cih 11 sin the est mation of a timely few this definition
of col cge would be piesumtng shall I sa too much ot
too little It could well 1)3 accorded to them the fact that
then motto might be 'Gathet yc knowledge while ve mty'
On the other side 01 should I say in between these two
gioups mentioned befoie there is that select group of tndt
"iduals who can mix then college education from an Txcell
nt recipe That is take a few hours of the day and divide
1 hem into periods Mix with three dr four renods of decided
if foil to get all that 'can be obtained from classes; than
lake scveial more periods mixed with relaxation add to this
tcvcial conccnttatcd pchods of sttidy; mix well nd ftdd a
bit of extia cuiiiculai activity which will give season to the
result
But rcrhaps all this discomse wouldnt interest you at
all who are those fottunate individuals who can leae out
the thud part of the recipe looking into books and still
think ou can get the best results Did I heat a stifled
awn and an inwaid drawn sigh' Well that's oui busi
ness and to be ery commonplace in using a ory modun
sling cprtS3ion so what?
Conceited Fools
Conceit is Clod's gift to little men One of the gieatcst
du lcs of a college educnt on is to show a man just how little
he knows abott the ast field of knowledge there is befoie
him The couisc of stud touched by the rcquii ements to
giaduatc aie o shallow in companson to the depths to which
men have nlieidy gone in them tint the college giadutte
should feel that he is a mere atom in the spheie of know
ledge One is lot leady to make anv contribution to the
w oi Id s stoiehouse of knowledge until he has gone beyond
the depth to which any other man has gone This lequires
eais ol speiialration
To piove hov dumb all of us leallv are take foi ir-
stance a student who has majoied in mathematics Bv the
tmi' he is a college giaduate he has only then come to
leal. 7e how much theie is to know about that subiect Ho
has only begun to lcitn a compaiativelj few pnnciptls of a
subject in which it would trke savei.l lifetimes of constant
woik to mastei Then when he has worked haid to mistei
these few pure pies he has only touched one of the thous
.nils of fields of knowledge that are open If he weie to at
tempt to mistei th s one subject of mathematc it would
le d him to a mistei of astionom chenvstiy seamanship
m fact a'l foi ins of sconce and eiigineeung
So r'on I be c nc ited Lu1d ou aie just anothsi dumb
moital like the lest of us who aie tning to get along on this
lop sulid ball wee II the taith The moie ou leiin thi more
vou w ll leahze how little ou know. HOS
