23-i: UNIVERSITIES: ACTUAL AND IDEAL vm 



And though somewhat be lost and gone, 

 Yet do thou act as one new-born. 

 What each day needs, that shalt thou ask ; 

 Each day will set its proper task. 

 Give others' work just share of praise ; 

 Not of thine own the merits raise. 

 Beware no fellow man thou hate : 

 And so in God's hand leave thy fate." * 



* Goethe, Zahme Xenien, Vierte Ahtheilung. I should 

 be glad to take credit for the close and vigorous English 

 version ; but it is my wife's, and not mine.
