The Price of High Ideals Whether or not a man is satisfied with his achieve- ments seems to depend largely on the nobility of the goal he has set for himself rather than on his actual per- 00 | tormances. There committed suicide in Boston recently a 20-year- old student at the Harvard medical school. He was con- sidered one of the most brilliant students that femous school ever had: He was in his fourth year there, and be- cause of his splendid work was spending his final se- mester performing research work at a hospital. Surely, if any man‘of 29 can call himself a success, this young man might have. Yet he took his life because he considered himself a failure! The young man must have had a very exalted goal in the back of his mind if his brilliant achievements seemed to him so far short of what he had intended to do.
