Does your  P. M.  schedule 
read  like  this? 

If  your  burning  ambition  is  to  excel  as  an  all-
around  society  man,  you  couldn't  have  planned 
your  evenings  better.  Such  persistence  will  win 
out  over  the indolence  of  the  rank  and  file,  for  as 
the  poet  says, 

" T he  heights by great  men  reached  and  kept 
Were  not  attained  by  sudden  flight, 
But  they  while  their  companions  slept 
Were  toiling  upward  in  the  night." 
But  if you  intend  to  make  your  mark  in  engi 
neering  or  business, don't  expect  that  supremacy 
on  the waxed  floor  will help when you  start  hunt 
ing  a job.

Not  that  you  need  swing  to  the  other  extreme 
as  a  "grind"  or  a  hermit.  L e t 's  concede  it  is  all 
right  to  minor  in  sociabilities—-but  certainly  it  is 
only  common,  sense  to  major  in  the  math  and 
sciences  arid  English  that  will  mean  bread  and 
butter  to  you  later  on.

Remember  this—the  harder  you  work  right 
now  in getting  a  grip  on  fundamentals,  the  easier 
things  will  come  to  you  when  you  must  solve 
still  bigger  problems.  And  if  you  take  it  easy 
now—well, look out  for the law of  compensation.
