Do they feel comfortable adapting to change? Are they easily discouraged if they cannot arrive at a solution to a problem? The answers to those questions will give you a better appraisal of their education than any list of courses, grades, or test scores.”

If with too credent ear you list his songs,
Or lose your heart, or your chaste treasure open
To his unmastered importunity.”

Cried out, Dim sea, hear my most piteous story!

Rolling along in dreams from hill to hill.
He fled the persecution of her glory....”

Let the victors, when they come,
When the forts of folly fall,
Find thy body by the wall!”
