l So, take a church letter with you; take i time for little tasks; join the associa- tions that help you to give yourself Tor the college and it's social relations. See | life, but while you see, live. There is | time for both.
 I Fit into life. Do not impose your dis ccvery of lifes cross currents on others. Remember what Rosalind said to melan- choly Jacques, the much travelled Tn life: T had rather have a fool to make me merry than experience to make me sad; and to travel for it. tool' And the world is of her opinion. Do not come home a Jaques from your voyage of discovery. hate the collegiate self-appointed critic cynic, pessimist and snob. College, I repeat, is an experience as natural as any. You can find In 1t the opportunity for every kind of self -expres- sion. Look about you. Happiness lies in the immediate The girl in your hall Is the test of your theory of life. The maid in your corridor can solve your sociology The jantor's wife Is sick is there a chance for religion? Responsibility waits upon response You will always be the kind of citizen you are now.
 You may have emotional refuges in yourself. Cultivate them. Write poetry; keep up your music, especially compost tion; paint. design and create deftly and eagerly. All these are natural channels of expression to relieve the concentra- ton of life at college. So are all exer- else and athletics. Use them.
 Above all. imagine. Imagine what your grades will be if you neglect your first sem tester work. Imagine how your friend is going to feel when you say that which IS qu1Vering on your lips to be said. Im- agine what life would be if we were all carried away by purely personal motives. Imagine, if you can, the reality that lies behind appearance. For knowledge is all composed of imagination and reason. but chiefly of imagination.
 College, then, if you are worthy. will make you see and love life more truly and wisely. You will know and love bet- ter your home and town for having gone 10 college. Because you comprehend life better. you will make it more comprehen sive. Again, I congratulate you.
