Excerpt from The Oberlin Alumni Magazine, Vol. 20: March 1924

There is a touching passage in the Iliad, where Odysseus rebukes Achilles because he wishes to spend in grief for his fallen com rades time that was required for the hard business of life: Nay, it behooveth to bury him who is dead, steeling our hearts, when once we have wept for a day; but such as are left alive from hateful war must take thought of meat and drink, that yet more against our foes we may fight relentlessly ever, clad in unyielding bronze. Yes, the fight must go on relentlessly, as the poet says. And we must steel our hearts as best we. May against all the griefs of life; but there are a few who can not and many who will not si lence such memories as these as long as their own lives shall last.
