NO JANUARY PACULTY MEETING

We do not believe that there is suffi-
cient business before the Faculty to
warrant a January meeting, especially in
view of the busy examination period and
the flu epidemic. The Faculty, there-
fore, will not meet again until the 3rd
Tuesday in February.

THEY DIDN'T ALYAYS SHINE

It's inspiring to read about the achieve-—
ments of the great, but it's rather com=
forting to know that: Beethoven found
his first music lessons very distasteful
and cried bitterly when subjected to
them,...Albert Winstein was slow in learn-
ing to talk and did so only after great
difficulty,...2enjamin Franklin was such
a dunce in arithmetic his father took

him out of school when he was only ten
and sent him to work....Faderewski used
to run from the house and hide in a tree
when he saw his music teacher coming to
give him a lesson,

Sir Walter Scott, Thomas Edison, Robert
Burns, Daniel Webster, Henry Ward Beecher
and Friedrich Froebel were all regarded
as dumbbells by their teachers,

The Duke of Wellington was considered the
dunce of his family....When he was grad-
uated from West Point, Grant stood 156th
in a class of 223....lLincoln often had
difficulty in spellin® the most common
words, For years he spelt "very" with
two r's; and up until the time he entered
the White House he spelled "opportunity,"
o—-p—p-e-r..,.s-Richard Wagner's first piano
teacher told him flatly that he would
never amount to anything as a musician,...
Charles Darwin's teachers considered him
dull and slow,

DEFINITIONS

“What is a university?

A university is a place:

It is a spirit:

Men of learning,

A collection of books,

Laboratories where work in science goes
forward:

The source of the teaching

And the beauties of Art and Literature:

The center where youth gathers to learn,

It protects the tradition,

Honors the new and tests its value:

Believes in truth,

Protests against error and

Leads men by reason

Rather than by force."
