Book Description
Excerpt from You at La Salle: Student Handbook, 1963-1964 It is my pleasure to welcome you to La Salle College, and to take advantage Of the Opportunity to append to my cordial greetings a brief and earnest message. I would like to direct your attention, at the beginning of your college days, to three pivotal ideas: the demands Of the intellectual life, the needs Of the present moment, and the responsibilities of adulthood. You must be convinced, first of all, that while the intellectual life is re warding, its joys are known only to those who labor perseveringly and dili gently. Ordinarily, the Obstacles to academic achievement lie, not in limited talents, but in a lack Of self-discipline, the absence of a sense of order in one's life. Most failures in college can be traced to nothing more complex than human laziness and uncertain motivation, or, what is surprisingly com mon among young people today, no apparent motivation at all.
