v-. -. APRIL v , 1931 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN THREE Vocational, Social, Personal Hopes Comprise Miss M. Schroeder's Essay Miss Maude E. Sdiroeder of Hoi brook is the author of an essay which placed in the prize column of tho contest conducted by the chancellor on "What I Aim to Get Out of College." Following is her article: My entrance into the University of Nebraska was the response to a Sreat icstlestmpss. I was dissatis fied with my work, with the re turns from my work, and most of all with myself. My first aim In seeking a college education was to learn my chosen profession well, because I wished to be successful. This Is my fourth year in the uni versity, Bnd my viewpoint has changed gradually. The things which I now wish to obtain from college may be grouped under three aims: vocational, social and personal. There Is no reason for consider ing the vocational purpose first, because in a well rounded life all the phases are indispensable, but it was my original aim as a fresh man. I had found that the un skilled person has a serious han dicap in obtaining a position and competing with people who are better prepared. I wanted to be able to present high qualifications to an employer, and at college I wished to acquire such efficiency that I could do work in which I would feel pride. I might have secured training by starting os a jack-of-all trades on a small town newspaper, but such preparation would be more likely to fix my crudities than re move them, and the distance be tween a village newspaper and the magazine position I desired was greater than I could hope to rlimh In a normal lifetime hy "Plugging on." Moreover, appren ticeship which engages all one's waking hours leaves no opportun ity for obtaining the background of general information which more advanced work requires. There is much content in the consciousness of work vell done, but work isnot its own compen sation. The comforts and leisure assured by a good salary are pow erful inducements. Leisure is the result of effective work, but it is also the incentive. We need edu cation for these idle hours as well as for our working ones. I have called thin training so cial, although our social relations extend into business also. From choice and necessity we human beings live in close contact. Laws cannot alone govern- our conJuct toward each other. Good fellow ship must be voluntary, and Is based upon understanding. At college one has an opportunity to .study human nature scientifically if he wishes in the classroom. He can learn the requirements of good citizenship the same way. But the greater sympathy is cre ated by rubbing elbows daily with hundreds of unlike students who have acommon interest. In the classroom and out of it, one ac quires a respect for the rights and opinions of others. This makes him not only a better citizen, but a more agreeable companion. Tho activities in which students are engaged together enable a per son of any initiative to develop his powers of leadership. After grad uation, the organizing ability and confidence he has attained may permit him to realize plans, possi bly great reforms, which would HECTOR AND ADELAIDE, IN PENN WOODS DENOTE COMING OF SPRING. (Continued From Page 1) What they need is a prod, and you know how prods are. Temperature Rising. Adelaide appears to be crouch ing. Her lips would be quivering timorously if pictures could move, so that much will have to be taken for granted. The scene of course, is Ten woods, and there may be some significance in that fact. Re verting to Adelaide's crouch, it might be said that ulie is getting ready to Jump at the chance. Hector is in the well known quandary. Naturally he feels a bit self conscious in his polo shirt and knickers, but ho shouldn't. Mpn have made worse mistakes. He knows that on Wednesday the lo cal thermometer touched 88 de grees. This, incidentally, is an all time record for Lincoln weather at thta time of vear. He wants to be lieve that Adelaide is tugging at his heart strings but he is sure that if he looks down he will see that she only has hold of the but tons on his shirt. PosHibly she is wilting. Can he support her? That, too, must enter in for women are looking for men who are good sup porters. Hector Hesitant. Sixteen Pinkei ton detectives and a plain clothes man are hidden in the bushes. That may account for Hector's hesitancy. He may have some Bccrcts about making love which ho doesn't wlnh found out. lie would like to show Adelaide something new about this peculiar American pastime. That Is where he la wrong though - you couldn't show Adelaide anything new about love. Like most smooth girls she's Fit More Snugly. Here Is the two button, form fit ting Jacket popular thin year. Men's suits show a decided trend away from the loose. 111 fitting models of , a few seasons back. This year, the cult coats are fash ioned to hang closely to the form. ilislsi iiif mmmm otherwise have remained mere dreams. Beyond citizenship and leader ship we may use tho term "social" in its more common application. The ability to talk on many sub jects, an appearance that is a credit instead of a handicap, ease in any company these are not in significant qualities. In this age one must be familiar with many branches of learning and business, that is, he must he acquainted with the major principles and prob lems of religion, politics and sci ence. He should have a historical background, and be acquainted with literature and art. From these sources opinions and Ideas rise. College offers social develop ment, and I intend to take advan tage of every possibility it pre sents. A vocation is not enough; I want to be an asset to society, a leader In my small way, and an intelligent, sympathetic friend. My third aim is constantly growing in importance; It is as suming the proportions of the hy potenuse in my three-sided college course. It would be hard to name, but it is easy to recognize it be cause it is common to all men. That is the satisfaction of intel lectual nnd spiritual hunger. When a child in the early teens I used to pound the window pane with my doubled fists crying, "I want: I want! I want!" What? I did not know. I still experience, always shall experience, a deep sense of my own imperfection, and a longing for the ideal. College is showing me glimpses of it. There are some men of vision on the faculty of tho University of Nebraska. They will direct the groping of seekers after the truth. Probably the first step toward reaching a satisfying mental level is wiping away tradition. Nothing can do this better than college. I have overcome the idea that my nationality is superior to others. that my father's religious sect is right, that the democratic party is without fault, and Darwin is a heretic. Through reading, conver sation, and classroom discussion I have encountered a world of theor ies so broad and deep that my own little code of opinions looked quite foolish, aud I discarded it bit by bit. I discovered that family and racial tradition i3 frequently only prejudice. How could it be ex pected to satisfy? The cultivation of taste is hot snobbery, but a means of finding great pleasure. I am studying lit erature and philosophy far more than my graduation requirements demand, because these fields offer inspiration and partial content. The capacity to appreciate what is artistic, beautiful, wise, cannot be overdeveloped. It makes even poverty endurable, and solitude less desolate. It is not necessary to point cut the moral influence of aesthetic tastes, or the desir ability of having mental and spir itual reserves. Am I asking too much of college ? These three things I want from my four years at the university: voca tional training that will teach me to achieve more and serve bet'er social development to make me h benefit to my community and the circle of my associates: and culti vation of my tastes and intellect that will make life to me richer il.t. ?-ore enJyabI. not marked with discontent.
