132 THE COLLEGE 



carry the keys of the world's library in one's pocket, and feel its 

 resources behind one in whatever task one undertakes; to make hosts 

 of friends among the men of one's own age who are to be leaders in 

 all walks of life; to lose one's self in generous enthusiasms and co- 

 operate with others for common ends; to learn manners from stu- 

 dents who are gentlemen, and form character under professors who 

 are Christians these are the returns of a college for the best four 

 years of one's life.
