The fact that we live in a social world, however, where other per sons must be recognized, is the ground on which the possession of justice as a basic at tribute of the intelligence becomes necessary. Justice requires the subordination of the in terests of the individual to the interests of so ciety, in the same way that wisdom requires the subordination of particular desires to the permanent to whom they belong.

Those who attain to popu larity and leadership in college, then, must be possessed of the attribute of justice to fully as large an extent as they must have wisdom, and the careers of our great men have shown undeniably that those who have'acquired these qualities in college have retained their leader ship in the great tasks of life.

Another type of courage to is that exercised when we take the pains It costs us pain and keep things effort in which we often find our things, and to place them in order.
