...will also hear with mingled feelings of joy and sorrow of the man who has made his mark in the world, and of the man who has been forced to abandon the profession and step down into the lower rank of a merchant. All these statements cannot fail to impress themselves upon the student's mind; he will carry the thoughts of the speaker home with him and will endeavor, as far as he sees fit, to heed his advice. And so it is in all the other lectures the student attends. They are all composed of the element thoughts...
