After fifty ambitions are modified—about then most men realize they're never going to do quite all they once hoped to accomplish. But they've made a start and perhaps the children will pick up where they leave off, and get further. Past fifty their personal ambitions are more apt to turn toward leaving some sort of a permanent record that will make the great-grand- children they'll never see think well of them. Universities have a way of going on and on, surviving wars, plagues, changes in government and economic theories. They outlast trees, monuments and banks. Perhaps the record of your contact with the University will be the one thing about you that will long endure. A hundred years from now you'll be just a name in the Bible to your descendants, but your University will still be cherishing the imperish- able entries which show you once existed, passed your Calculus, received a degree and played in the Mandolin Club. Past fifty most men need their Cornell memories and associations even more than Cornell needs them.
