Abstract

In a study of the lives of great men it is interesting to trace the circumstances that have affected them most deeply. And we generally find that the most powerful influences in moulding their characters were the friends that they had made. This flows from the very nature of friendship, which entails a mutual sharing of another's thoughts and feelings, interests and aspirations. Moreover, when men are united in any undertaking, howsoever insignificant, a bond of sympathy is established among them. Common ends and common purposes create a feeling of comradeship, an esprit de corps that lends grace to the drabbest day, and a charm to the dullest personality. How pleasant it is to meet an old schoolmate and rehearse with him simple little incidents that happened in our early years--incidents, commonplace in themselves, yet freighted with joy because of the associations and companionships that they recall. Such is the bond of comradeship.
