President Thwiiig, of Western He- serve, contributes att inlere Aing arti- cle to the 91. relt Forum on "Tile hest fihing College does for a Sian," whichi iso worthy of close readting by every tundergiadtuate. The opinions of sev- eral leading educators aid of a nuni- her of prominent college graduates are presented. The consensus of these seems to be that the best things aimn~a takes out of Ihis college life are ttz.' ability, acquired to determine and dis- crtrainate and a knowledge of the saecessify of hard work in order to acquire succesa. This is well express. ed by what President Andrews says of trowni.

It is pterhlaps because of this quickness ot tierceeption antd recognition of the tid- vantages of continued applicaotion ob- tained in college that this is so.
