Within the whole of fifty-siX hot
days in the summer of the year,
study in the summer school OF the
University of Missouri, and at length
find myself very. very joyful, and all
( the students who come here TO study
I in the Summer Session of this Uni
versity look to me also jOyfully. Our
daily routine and social recreation
seem TO help our enjoyment; in other
words. the summer school life of this
University is cheerful and happy.
Cheerful and happy work shortenS
time as well as good company short
ems the miles: so we feel that these
ffty-six days pass too quick that we
have not enjoyed ourselves enough.
Our first thing in the school is the
daily class work. We have the regu-
lar classes every day. forenoon and
afternoon: but most students plan
their study hours in the morning. Ev-
cry class may contain two or three
grades of students; the students who
are the teachers of elementary school;
and the college students. All the
teachers who come here to study in
the summer session work very hard.
They want to win the palm of success:
they want to wear the crown of vic
tory: in short, they want to get the
teaching certificate,
Our second thing is the recreation.
Social meetings we have one after the
other. Picnics We have once in a
while. Music We enjoy in the Campus
within this session. Tennis players
we can see every morning and after
noon in the playing ground. Some
times there is big banquet to invite
summer school students. Sometimes
speakers give our students speech. All
the notices on the bulletin board are
for summer school students Students
who study in the summer school are
happy and joyful.
What | want to say of our third
thing is the golf links. which give
us more enjoyment, especially TO our
summer school students. In hot day
after we are through our study, we
walk out to the gelf links to enjoy
ourselves. The golf links are so diff
ferent ffrom the other side of town as
when the sun sets. The ground is
green: the evening breathes her mel
lowing breath; and the wild flowers
send their faint and intangible Odors.
Squirrels race along the branches OF
the trees like winged folks. Such
things like these we enjoy almost ev-
cry evening.
Through the eight weeks in this
school this summer one may learn
more things strewed everywhere in
his or her path than the other; but
every one of us must keep the phrase
Live and Learn" and must bear in
mind that the remembrance of a we'll
spent life is sweet.

be the sole content, the reading OF
/ The Letters" has given a new ap-
I probation of the author as a real man,
/ with human needs. with human SYM
/ pathies, and with a penetrating in
/ sight into the problems of .ife. In
the many new ideas and new interests
aroused. and in the glimpse of the
higher ideals afforded, the cabin at
the foot of Pixies Peak. along with
all its fancied pleasures, has been
completely forgotten. My uneasiness
concerning the work of the next year
has vanished, and in its stead has
/ come the proud consciousness of prep
aratiOn for veXing problems that may
arise. Truly the University is the
first educational institution of learn
ing in the state.
But summer school is not all class
es. There is the social life as we'll
The contact with other teachers gives
new inspiration Besides, there are
University receptions. Sunday School
socials, and kodaking expeditions
There is the Cafeteria with its hur-
rying hustle. the ice cream parlors
with their chocolate sundaes and cleo
trio fans and the Boone County Fair
with its display of prize horses. Nor
must we forget the fourth of July pic
mic at McBaine with boat rides on
the Missouri River, with a big camp
fire in the evening and with songs and
stories until the train left for Co
lumbia at II o'clock. All these things
are nearly past; but we are still look
ing forward to an enjoyable trip to st.
Louis when University students start
home next Thursday evening after ex-
aminatiOns are over.
As begin my last weeks work, my
mind goes back to the day when I
decided to come to the University. 1t
seems impossible now that | could
have ever heSitated for a single mo-
ment; and in my plans for next sum
mer, | find that the University Occu-
pies the central place. | find myself
looking forward to another two
months stay in Columbia. to another
course in theme writing. and another
seemingly endless wait in the lineup
at the Cafeteria.

WORTHWHILE MONTHS.

Young man or young wOman-you
who are TO attend the University for
the first time in September when
you become a student among the hun
dreds at Missouri look well to your
first few months. You will leave be-
hind you high or preparatory school
days and will enter new town
among new people, new studies under
new instructors. will make new friends
and above all will form new habits.
And in the formation of new habits
you will do a great deal in determin-
ing your future. The ease with which
you adjust yourself to the new condi-
tions in this environment, the faculty
you develop for choosing the right
kind of friends, the will-power you
acquire to master the subjects you
study-all these in a way become hab
its.
The student who easily adjusts him
self to this new community will get
the habit of making himself at home
when he leaves the University for a
new and more exciting world in busi-
ness or professional life. The ability
to choose friends who will stimulate
the best in you, who will make it
pleasure for you to be associated with
them in college work and student ac-
tivities, will do much in the making of
the habits which will stay with you
for life. And these kinds of friends
are the only ones whose intimacy is
worth while. Be a friend to every
possible person. but choose well your
intimate friends.
The strenuous application to your
studies. aside from being honorable
and from giving you knowledge you
seek, is valuable because you get the
habit of doing your tasks well. This
habit is worth while in the world
when you undertake to build up a
law or medical practice. when you
engage in business, when you enter
the field of engineering, agriculture,
education or journalism. After all it
is not always the brilliant man who
succeeds but it is the man who eter-
nally sticks to his task that reaches
the top. Therefore the habit of mas
tering comes with study.
If you care for your future, not
only for your own advantage but also
on account of your duty to your father
and mother, look well to your habits
which will be greatly Influenced the
first few months.
