Show The President to the StudentsJOSEPH T. KINGSBURYTO LEARN to make a livelihood is necessary. To learn to let your neighbor enjoy the products of his own hands is indeed necessary.To do unto others as you would have them do- unto you is inestimably important; for, only by the means of this great principle can a man advance towards the highest ideals of life.All these, however, are only a means to a great end-happiness.But the highest kind of happiness comes from a strong desire to serve one's fellowman and from the very act of serving him. The motive power which arouses this desire and impels a person to serve his fellows comes through the highest appreciation of truth and philanthropic love developed in man only by true and genuine culture resulting from the proper training of the mind. This culture is a kind that enables man to comprehend well his true position in nature and compels him by his own inmost desires to live in harmony with the Divine and the great moral forces in the world. Great happiness, furthermore, comes from the acquisition, through the proper cultivation of the mind, of love for the true, the beautiful and the Divine as manifested in science, art, literature, and the highest type of religious life.The University of Utah, as well as other higher institutions of learning, should do everything in its power to imbue thoroughly the whole being of the student with these duties and ideas pertaining to> human life and to impress and fasten them firmly upon his mind. |
