We read that the Yale non-graduate catalogue, shortly to be published, contains the names of no less than 5000 men still living who entered the university and failed to graduate. Various reasons account for their fail. ure, but quite likely low marks, in. dicating backwardness in scholarship. account for a large fraction of them It would be interesting to learn whether these men failed in their sub sequent careers as well as in college. Sometimes early failures are followed by others, and sometimes they fur nish the inspiration for future success, more frequently the latter, we fancy. It is through difficulties that we uti- mately reach the stars.
