...every man can be made into an aviator--youth, physique, clear and quick thinking, and the character that makes good officers are essential. Aviation is not a vocation for men who think slowly and who "hesitate when in doubt." but rather for those who think quickly and lay stress on "when on thin ice skate fast." The country must look to its university undergraduates for the personnel on which to draw for its aerial defence...

It is complicated by the fact that such success is so various that it is impossible to lay down a universal standard by which men's relative attainments can be measured. Wealth, eminence in public affairs, social usefulness and historical fame are all legitimate objects of human endeavor, and none can be set above the rest or even expressed in terms of any other...
