University Record Vol 3 PDF Download

Excerpt from The University of Texas Record, Vol. 3: September, 1901 Though we can know little about what the century will be as its long day wears on, we do know that at its dawn it is essentially an age of young people, an age gone mad in its demand for young men and women in the places of responsibility and trust which experi ence and accumulated years ought to hold. This abnormal clamor for youth in positions of power and prominence has its resulting perils. Not long ago Frank Beard, the genius who prepares the cartoons that adorn the first page of that quaint combination of humor and piety, The Ram's Horn, drew the picture of a stalwart young man, resolute of purpose and eager to hold beyond the reach of a clamorous company of enemies, each of who-m was reaching for it, the crown he held in his upraised right hand. Upon that crown was inscribed the Single word, character, and they who would have wrested it from his grasp were personified covetousness, licentiousness, love of popularity, and the rest of a long line Of the temptations peculiar to young men of the present. It was no fancy picture, but a portrait. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
