...that the advisor must be the keystone of the whole structure. If he is timid and diffident, his advisers are certainly more so; if after two or three years of college he still lacks the confidence to invade a Freshman's rooms and make himself at home, he cannot expect such assurance on the part of the advisee. And if he has no great faith in his own advice, he may be sure that no one else has. But in any case, whether he gives good advice or bad upon his energy, his willingness to get up and grapple with...
