to whom you have always been something of a hero they be shocked but they'll be ashamed at discovering that their father is a lot weaker mau than they thought him to be I wish our children girls and boys would get it through their heads that their escapades shock ua We know all about youthful temptations and late evening madnesses and filthy stories and too much drinking Young people were doing that twenty years ago and fifty and five hundred Some stayed out of it arid grew in wisdom and dignity and strength of character Some dldn'L Those who didn't spoil In their college years tha could have been all golden In memory the fineness of their palate Not only for food and drink though that too Young stomachs are not of cast iron and y-uns nerves can break But toe poison is more serious than that To deliberately choose tha gutter in companionship in reading matter In what is said and quoted and laughed at causes a change in mind and spirit that later years won't wipe out Selee-tlvenesa is gone The girl finds herself saying things and suggesting things to finer-fibered women that mark her Instantly as underbred those great truths of science and letters that will take them safely Into life 1 What a pity that a few of them only a few can stein tha record of the rest by coming to an adult school while still adhering to the Infantile Indecencies they should have dropped many years ago What a pity these boys so rapidly reaching manhood should think It excruciatingly funny to add the slimy phrase "panty to the vocabulary of a great nation To expel them is of course to punish those aforementioned parents who have such hope for them Nothing would reach them now What 1 would do Is put a page into that handsome booklet that will be the program of the big

chapel rich in mosaics carvings organ and with high gothic windows from which saints In deep pure colored glass look down Thia school Is manned by many a wine and thoughtful teacher Some few 1 am told

weekday are thousands of handsome little cars Yes handsome shining and complete and comparatively new No rickety Jalopies for Stanford No shabbiness The thousands of boys and girls wear the right sweaters the right smart slacks or correctly pleated skirts the boys smoke cigarettes and take the girls to dinners and shows The girls rarely take care of their own hair money comes freely from home for that and for everything else Their shining heada and white ahoea twinkle over the campus all day long their laughter ringa in the green alleys under the trees and bubbles over in the cafeteria and the gym A heartbroken man and woman by death of their only endowed thia college And thousands of other good fathers and mother send to It from all over the union their hard-earned thousands and
