Hop: .. ins. Objectively his life held
little of the speclacular. Born at
gtratford. on Jul)· 28. 1844. he reo
cei,·ed his early education at the Chol­mondele}
· School. Highgale, where he
manifested more than ordinary intel·
lectual and poetieal gifts. Differences
01 bc:licf in mattcrs of religion were,
during the time of Gerard Hopkins'
youth, of absorbing importance. The
Oxford MO"cment had been badly dis­rupted
when. in 1845, Kcwman was
r«eived into the Roman Catholic
Church. Howe-.·er, the talk and the
intcre$t in church affairs continued.
and of course. Oxford t;ni\"ersity was
the storm eelller. In 1866. Gerard
Hopkins, being Ihen 22 )·ears old,
was rccci"ed in Ihe Roman Catholic
Church. by Newman himself. It was
surely one of the mi[lOr. but happy
workiugs of Providence that the
}·oullg Hopkins had Walter Pater as
tut"r while preparing to enter upoo
his elas5ieal studies at Balliol College.
The long_awaited Easter Holidays
-the harbor to which we looked for­ward
for refuge frolll the rigors of
(mr schola~tic journey have been left
behind, and now we arc cmbarking
on the last stretch of our year·s
course.
Ever since last September, we hotve
been building up hopes and wor\cing
hard to ful611 them. We wonder if,
when we reach the year's end, we
sha!! find all our air-castles material­ized.
But ~ome who ha\"e worked faith.
fully may meet Ilisappointment at Ihe
end-their hopes lIlay be shattered. and
they may find themselves in the un­pleasant
necessity of making the loug
arduuus journey api~r of admit­ting
their cowardice to the world by
abandoning their purpose altogether.
"'hen after reasonahle efion, we
arc classed as a failure in the end,
pc:nilllism is too apt to color our out­look
on the particular situation and
is apt e,·en to spread its discouraging
gloom until it tinges our whole out­look
on the fUlure.
This one "cnture may be typical of
our whole life-we may watch othen
around us crowned again and again
with the laurels of success. Many
limes we too may reach out for the
palm, only to have it snalched. away
irom us at the lut moment.
But there arc many kinds of suc­cess
and the type that gains publie
recognition, that showers upon the
winner the praise and good wishes of
everyone, is perhaps not the highest
form of 5uccess-assuredly it does not
:olways insure happiness and peace.
There is a succcss, however, that
wears the outward appearance of
failure. The material or risible end
may not Ix; secured.. but at the same
time. the purpose and effort may ha"e
been excellent, the actual means of
accomplishment may have bt:en in­adequate,
or the circumstances wholly
unfavorable.
