GET THE most you can out of your college life. If you live in the highest sense here you will continue to do so all your life; for the habits formed here will continue to control you. A life spent in hard work alone is not the life we were intended to live; neither is one spent in a continual search for amusement: we are endowed with the ability to enjoy both work and recreation, and we should make the best possible use of that ability. Work hard while you work, and throw off all thought of your work when you have time for amusement.
IN OTHER UNIVERSITIES, regular weekly lectures are given by the librarian on the needs and use of a library. Attendance upon the lectures is optional; but they are so popular that it is often necessary to repeat them for the benefit of those who are prevented by other duties from hearing them the first time they are delivered. They would be of the greatest help to the student, especially to the freshmen and sophmores, who have not access to the entire library; but even the mighty senior would find them of great use to him. The value of rightly directed study is far greater than that in which there is no object in view; and the students library work is, or should be, a large portion of his work, and needs direction as much as any other part of his work.
Do not confine your reading to the subjects you are studying in class. If your work is in the languages, you need to read the current scientific literature, at least; while if your work is in the sciences, your highest development cannot be reached unless you do much reading in pure literature. Whoever has not a good knowledge of both science and literature is not well educated. There is a strong tendency among students to develop along only two or three lines at a time, to read only about the studies carried; but it is just as easy and much more profitable to do a little work systematically upon a large number of subjects. The uneven places in the average student's education would, to a large extent, be smoothed over if some place such as the literary and debating society were provided, in which all subjects might be freely discussed.
