Have You Grown Up?
“Do you use your own head, or do you let
somebody else think for you? People do not
reach maturity by counting birthdays.”
This Avas the gist of Mr. Strong’s talk in
chapel Thursday morning, March 2nd.
Recently, there seems to be a trend toAvard
individualism—individualistic thinking as
Avell as individualistic manner. Students are
being influenced and urged to depend upon
their own opinions. This reminds one per
haps of Barrett Wendel In a Good Writing
Style “Don’t be ashamed of your oaa-ii ideas;
they may turn out to be just as good as any
body else’s.” A recent joke brought to the
campus goes: “A very enthusiastic teacher
Avas conducting a recitation. During the
nerve-racking process, one student gazed for
quite a. AA’hile out of the AvindoAV near by.
“What are you looking at?” inquired the
eager teacher.
“Oh, I am thinking,” replied the indus
trious pupil.
“Goodness,” returned the irate teacher,
“this is no place to think!”
On (he contrary, college is a place in which
avc must learn to think. We must groAv up
in the correct Avay, and not by merely count
ing birthdays.
A Patron Saint
We live in a world where* men are rushing
here and there trying to facilitate the tre
mendous task of living; a world Avhere the*
globe turns on its axis bringing to some
nations day and others night, to some sad
ness and some joy; to all it brings a world
mixed Avith riches and deprivations, exalta
tions and abasement. It is a Avonder that
men take the time in such a Avorld to think
about the great spirits of the past.
Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland
was born about 381 A. 1). and his work con
sisted largely in the organization of Chris
tian societies and charity Avork among the
Irish people. lie planted Christian faith in
regions Avhich had not yet come under the
SAArny of the gospel. His career is involved
in considerable obscurity. Widely varying
vieAvs have been held by modern scholars
with regard to his activities—some going so
far as to treat all the account of his labours
as the fictitious creation of a later age.
But men have ahvays had their heroes.
Hero-worship seems to be a part of man’s
nature. Every nation has had in it some
person Avho has exemplified their ideals of
a great spirit. After great men are dead
men sing praises of their heroes, place halos
around their images and AA-orship them.
There are other men Avho come later and
try to discount all that has been said or
done by their forefathers in honor of these
heroes. Some men extract the good from
their spiritual heritage and as a result live
on a higher plane. We have in our world
both types: Those aaIio A\ T ish to be their own
heroes and worship themselves and those Avho
are able to recognize and emulate other
spirits nobler than themseUes. It is this
unselfish spirit in the Irish that keeps alive
their reverence for their patron saint.
Correction
In the February number of The Campus
Mirror, it Avas reported that Miss Mabel
Dockett is teaching in Tyler, Texas. Miss
Dockett is on the faculty at Saint Philips
Junior College, San Antonio, Texas.
We Avish to apologize for this mistake.
