Book excerpt: Excerpt from Torontonensis, 1921, Vol. 23: The Year Book of the Graduates of the University of Toronto 11] In anticipation, we peer impatiently into the shadows of an unknown future, our only guide the thin ray of hope and ambition by whose uncertain light we strive to read the magic word success. How dangerous a guide, and how. Easily we are diverted to alluring imitations of the word we seek! We'are venturing forth after these four years into a world which, in the grip of reaction from suffering and shock, has set its face toward materialism. We, too, are in the grip of that reaction; we, too, are in danger of valuing men and women, and thoughts and actions, by the cold test of materialism. The lessons we have learned of duty, sacrifice and fortitude, the ideals, the ambitions, the memories, we have cherished, we are likely to discard as out-grown and worn out. Thus, in place of success, we are likely to read fame, power, pleasure, wealth. These things may be the fruits of success; they do not spell the word itself. Many of us may never be famous, powerful, rich or at leisure, yet each one of us can attain success. Success consists simply of the fullest employment of the individual's ability, be it great or small; it is doing things with all one's might; it is sincerity. There is no royal road to success. There is only a narrow, uphill road which one must travel on foot. Its sign-posts are the lessons of the last four years.
