The Calendar 166Master and Man.*BY PROFESSOR WILLIAM EDWARD SIMONDS, PH.D.Knox College.II.There is another phase of our subject which mustnot be overlooked. We have been developing in a fewdirections the excellence of this ability to commandand to be obeyed. Think for a little of the excellenceof that power which can set limits and fix bounds. Itis a fine thing, indeed, to be able to say to one soldier,Go, and to another, Come, and to know that the onewill go, and the other, come ; but there are numberless times when the command must be Stay! andinstead of Advance, the order must be Fall back !Now take your stand by the man of power ; can youhold your place ? How varied and how mighty arethose tendencies and impulses that need restraint.Singular servants are these, for somehow, at sometime they seem to have developed out of instinctsthat were not illegitimate but well born; passions*An Address delivered at the Convocation of Morgan ParkAcademy, July 2, 1897. that got their life in virtues and grew rank and wilduntil under tropic heat they exceeded normal boundand blossomed forth with choking and poisonousbloom. Ambition, avarice, envy, hate, appetite, lust— no servants now, but slaves in victorious revolt,demoniac tyrants, whose domination is absolute andwhose only reward is remorse. As the trainer ofwild beasts stands with watchful eye and ready whipin the midst of the crouching, snarling pack, his cryis : Down, Nero ! back, Satan ! The master amongmen will not escape the struggle with vice and passion, he is no weakling, he enjoys no immunity fromthe uprisings of defiant lower nature, but he holds thepassions in magnificent control ; his command is :Down ! and he is obeyed. Not all at once is the powerattained, but it is attained. The discipline that bringsit we misname self -repression; it is no repression butrather self-control, and self-control is self-development. This makes the man his own master, and isthe first and indispensable step in his becoming amaster among men.Let us now go back for a moment to that splendidportrait of the man of power as developed in the personality of the Roman captain. Notice his humility.His friends said, you remember, " he is worthy;" andthe Jewish bystanders commended him. Not so thecenturion himself. "I am not worthy" said he; butmore significant are these words which follow : "ForI also am a man set under authority." Now, it is always characteristic of the true man of power thatjoined with his authority is a sense of obligation. He164 imiVERSITY RECORDrealizes his place in the economy of the universe, andin that one who has attained the mark of leadershipand mastership, there is along with the consciousnessof the position held, a fine humility which is, perhaps,the last and conclusive test of the man of power.Greatness is self-conscious, not in the ordinary senseof that phrase, but in the sense that denotes consciousness of its possession. There is a superb egotism ingenius; usually misunderstood and misjudged bymediocre men, but as far removed as possible fromself-conceit. Without this confidence in its power,even genius would remain inactive ; in conjunctionwith this humility of spirit it becomes the primestimulus to its expression. Francis Bacon in splendidassumption of his great endowment could afford tosay "I take all knowledge to be my province ;" but healso asserted that before he summoned his magnificent powers to obedient effort he had swept the wholefield of human want and endeavor to determine firsthow he could best direct those powers for the serviceof mankind. So it is ever with the really great man,the master among men ; he is conscious of a vocation,a call. Not only is he placed in authority over men,he is himself set under authority to society, to state,to some serious and worthy purpose for men ; andonly as he recognizes allegiance to this ideal, only ashe joins subordination with leadership does he becometruly great. There have been, indeed, thousands ofmighty men in history to whom mastery has comein remarkable degree, who have tried to wield theirpower irresponsibly and independently of all obligationmoralor national, but those whom the world recognizesas its real leaders in action or in thought, its truemasters in art, in literature, in common life, its idealmen of power, are those who have forgotten their personality in the duties of their sphere ; who have, in nomorbid fashion, but naturally, as a thing of necessityrather than a matter of choice, consecrated whollybody, mind, and soul to the purpose of their call.Without this spirit no man becomes a leader of men ;there is no selfishness in greatness, no arrogance inpower. Well may the poet exclaim :" Yea, let all good things awaitHim who cares not to be great,But as he saves or serves the state.' 'We have thus considered two elements in the man ofpower, the self-mastery which he must first achieve,and the subordination with which he devotes hispower to the purpose of his life. Mention has beenmade of tns vocation, the enrollment of the man forservice ; in a higher sense than the ordinary is theword vocation used. By it is meant God's call, thedivine commission to responsibility and effort. No man ever achieves his privilege of service and ofpower until into his life has come the summons whichis his real awakening to the seriousness and purposesof his own existence and his relation to the world ofwhich he is an individual part. To different men thecall comes differently, but all the great ones hear it ;sometimes in the turmoil of life, sometimes in thequiet. There was a devout monk slowly climbing onhis knees the holy staircase of the Lateran ; to hisquestioning and perplexed mind the voice suddenlyspoke ; rising to his feet with face upturned as lookinginto the face of God himself, erect, he walked downthe sacred steps and his footfall shook the continentof Europe as it had not been shaken by the marchingof all the armies of the past. Another, troubled inthought, yet mad with the wrath and zeal of bigotry,was struck to the earth by a flash of light from a cloudless sky ; and with the thunder and the flame he "heardGod's voice speak his name." But not commonly outof the whirlwind, nor in the earthquake, no? from thefire, does the Presence speak ; the pity of it is that tothe still, small voice the ear of common man is so oftendeaf, that in the self-absorption of the commonplaceroutine he fails to hear or heed. The current of hislife runs on and what was given for the glory of Godand the use of man is wasted. For ages the river haspoured the water of the lakes tumultuously over theprecipice; millions of units of power have swept unheeded by, dashing in spray on the rocks below. Atlast the knowledge and skill of man have turned alittle of the current into another channel ; through penstock and turbine the water rushes now and the powerthat was wasted is redeemed. With dynamo and wireis Niagara harnessed, and the wild exhaustless energyof the cataract is subdued to the service of man.Our minds have been upon the great ones of humankind ; yet to everyone in his degree of endowment isentrusted the responsibility of power. Self-masteryis possible to all ; and to those who recognize thevoice, responding loyally to the authority of its call —to these mastership is indeed given ; the current oflife for them finds its appointed channel and all theforce and energy of their being is transformed intouse and honor of power.Official Actions.The Faculties of the Graduate Schools acceptedthe following persons as candidates for the degree ofDoctor of Philosophy :Philip Schuyler Allen,Ira Woods Howerth.UWIVEMS1TY MJEG0R3 %mOfficial Notices.Term Examinations fob the First Term op theSummer Quarter. — The Term Examinations for thefirst term of the Summer Quarter will be held onWednesday, August 11, in place of the regular classexercises.
