ers, where he can read books, where he can work in the laboratory. 

   And now you may want to say, "Yes, but he may not get into a good college. He may not get into the best college. He may not get in to my college." Actually, no one knows what a good college is. No one knows which colleges are best. Harvard does have more graduates in Who's Who than any other institution, but considering the the human material that has poured into Cambridge, Mass., from all over the world for centuries, why doesn't Harvard have twice as many graduates in Who's Who as it does? Harvard could be doing a very poor job educationally and yet seem to be the top educational institution because of the intellectual drive and ability of the students who go there. 

  The head of the Department of Religion at Yale University is not a Yale man. He came from Dakota Wesleyan. The head of all health services at Harvard is not a Harvard man. He came from the University of West Virginia. The former president of Princeton was not a Princeton man, but a graduate of Grove City College in Pennsylvania. The misery and torture of today's college admission comes because parents have taught their children to think that learning is a matter of geography; that learning can take place only in certain institutions. 

  The wise parent who has created in his child a desire to learn will approach the whole problem of college admission with one philosophy: "Go where you can get in, my son, and know that great opportunity awaits you to discover more about people, more about ideas, more about things-more knowledge than you will ever master in the four years you are in college."

  When this approach to college admission is taken by an entire family there can be no heartbreaking letters in the mail, no crushed egos, nothing but delight at any letter that brings news of acceptance, news of an adventure in learning ahead.
