There was never a great athlete who went at his work lazily and without pep who ever got any- where. On the other hand all who have been successful have devoted ime and energy to their work, and have been determined that nothing shall stand in the wr of success, Now and then one hears of an ath- lete, unfortunately crippled, who hag climbed. to, the top of his line of sport hrough, sheer determination. There's Neely, the big guard at ; Dartmouth, who despite the loss of one hand was last. year considered; one of the great linemen of the east. There's George Sutton, one of the advanced enough to yield conviction! of success to any observer, and a tribute to our engineers and experts from civil: life in all branches who have continued to arrive to serve with the officers of the regular engine in command of an increasing army of workers, all doing their part.
