TALKS WITH A KID BROTHER

You don't know much. You have been a great fool in a great many ways. You have neglected opportunities which will never come again. But though much culture has not stuck to you from your studies, yet I am pleased to observe that some character has been pounded into you by your friends. It is within your power to keep up both your friends and your character. And so, when you are blue during these last months of your college course you may tell yourself that, after all, character is better than culture, and friendship than much fine learning. I sha'n't see you again till Commencement.
