Columbia College will tender a reception to the ladies of the freshman class Monday evening, October 5th. The old men who have been accustomed to going to the entertainments given at C. C. will know what to expect and will not fail to go. The new men especially should not miss this first social event of the year. It is on this occasion thtt the new men "break in," be coming acquainted with some of the college girls and forming ac quaintances which will last throughout their college career. In a short while the Jniversity will hold a reception for the new men to which both girls' colleges will be invited. These receptions form a vital part of our college life and each student should lend his sup port by his presence. V The social committee of the University is now endeavoring to ar range a series of social events which will be in harmony with the students' schedule. WHICH WITH YOU? When we perform an action there is one of two motives in volved: we act because we like it, or because we are driven to it by fear of what might happen if we failed to do it. Many of us go about our work each day filled with love for it and glory in acting well our part. And, too, many of us drag through our hours of study driven by fear of monthly reports, professors' censuring and our fellow students' displeasure. We regret that most of us fall under the latter classification. By experience as well as by observation we know that we can only succeed in the highest degree when we love the work in which we are engaged. But often we have to go through a season of ur pleasant toil before reaching the work we like. In reading a novel we have to endure a few pages of uninteresting reading before we can really enjoy the beauty of the story. Indeed there must be the unpleasant and disagreeable things in order that we might ap preciate and understand the better things. We believe that much of the unpleasantness of studying and re search work may be eliminated by formation of habits of studying' at regular hours. A prominent educator has said that the best thing he achieved in college was ,the habit of studying. We a 1 may not become professional men who are compelled to continue the grind after leaving college. but in making studying a daily habit, the habit of doing our daily duty will be formed. We do not strongly advocate the burning of wee-hour lights, especially do we advise against this before the term examinations. So we may now form the habit of dealing with things pleasant and things unpleasant. Our work should not be done for the pur pose of getting through with it, but for the good we can find in it for ourselves and those about us. "There is no success without sacrifices."
