Excerpt from Vox Fluminis, 1930 There. Is one thing more which I do want to say to you and I'm afraid perhaps it may have all too familiar a ring. You know it is often said now that education consists not so much in the acquisition of knowledge but in the building of character. Of course that is true; for knowledge of itself can be and is only a danger. At the same time, however, I want you to realize that your main job at the moment is your school work and no one ever built up character by neglecting his or her work. Scholarship, for which you are training, can give real joy, and there is nothing greater than the thrill of conquering something really difficult. There only remains for me now to assure you, both individually and as a school, of my most affectionate interest. You Were first introduced to me as so many names, typed on cards in a card catalogue, and often in those days of August and September, which now seem so far off, I used to try to imagine what you would be like. One of the most interesting things about you is your infinite variety! But may I sign myself to you all with all Sincerity.
