Nothing is more essential to success in either business or professional life than energy and tenacity of purpose; and success in college life depends mainly on the same thing. The student who comes to college determined to make the most of his opportunities, to let none of his powers lie idle, and to cultivate both mind and body to the greatest possible extent, succeeds in his work if he keeps his purpose clearly in view; and is very likely to fail if he does not. Men of natural ability often come to surpass their more talented class-mates because they are aiming at some definite object, they are more tenacious of purpose than those who, though more gifted, do their work in a careless, aimless way. - Amherst Student.
