AMBITION-A TRAGEDY

A cruel master indeed is ambition!
All things it demands of its subjects,
while few are they who receive it's
highest rewards. Its mirage sets
men and women working feverishly,
desperately, straining toward the
goal, only to find it constantly reced-
ing. as they toll painfully toward it.
To those whose hopes o'erleap nat
ural limitations and force them on
toward inaccessible heights, tragedy
is the result. Condemned by circum-
stances to fruitless labor, they must
toll on, and on, and on, deprived even
of the partial satisfaction of content
with that which they have been able
to achieve. Each new attainment is
but a sickeniig reminder of the un-
attainable Each painfully taken step
magnifies the distance to the goal.
To every such must come times
when in the bitterness of his spirit
he is sorely temepted to lower his
aim, to be content with lesser things,
to dismiss the vision which has DOM
mated his life. The sight of others,
smugly satisfied with themselves. is
gall to his too-ardent spirit. Why
not cease this continual straining up
ward, adopt the Epicurean?
Yet none who is true to himself
seriously contemplates this. 1t is
only at the dark moments of despera-
ton that the idea forces itself up on
him. Ambition leaves not hold on
one so easily. With the coming of
new day the old fire, low in the Goals
on the hearth, flames up; determina-
ton arises from the ashes of bitter
ness; new efforts are conceived.
Cheerfully accepting the present.
whatever it may be, nevertheless your
true man of ambition faces each day
with an earest heart. Whatever the
outcome of his struggle, he is victor
in the battle of life.

IGNORANCE IN THE UNIVERSITY.

The chief way the world has of
judging the educated man is by his
conversation. The university man
comes in contact with many persons,
but most acquaintances are slight.
The few words he may say are the
means by which his intellect is
measured by others.
This makes it evident that it is i'm
portant to speak correct English.
Most persons will put it down cor
rectly when it is written but are
slovenly and inaccurate in speech.
The few well-written letters one may
write in lifetime are not enough to
establish a reputation for intelligence.
Some students come to the Univer-
sity and learn many things. But with
all their valuable knowledge they do
not know some of the fundamentals
of English grammar. A man may
know all about a steam engine or a
dairy farm but his knowledge is not
very impressive when he tells one
about it and uses "have saw" "it
don't" and other similar fragrant at
tacks upon the kings English.
Every student owes it to his own
self to use good English in conversa-
ton. People expect things of the man
who comes from the University. He
is expected to know how to talk even
when he is in the grammar school.
Bad English brands a man as ignor-
ant regardless of his university or
degrees.
University Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1908-1916, 1912-11-13
A STUDENTS HONESTY.

If the example of woman student
of the University was followed by all
college students, the honor system
would be the only one used.
This woman brought her quiz blue
book to the professor at the end of
the hour, saying that he had over
looked a mistake in her paper. The
professor examined it. He smiled and
said, I'm sorry but your honesty
will cause me to change your grade
from an E to an S." She smiled back
took her paper and walked happily
out of the room.
Is there any doubt that she will
succeed?
