Man’s genius and originality is restricted to designated bounds. As a lamp consumes its oil so does a man exhaust his intellectual resources. New ideas may be the result of trial and error, but basic originality has a defined boundary for each individual. The University heard a great scholar and scientist last week. Vilhjalmur Stefansson, as leader of an exploring party, who is shrewd enough to realize his own shortcomings on certain departments of science, and when asked definite technical questions, not in his major, he refers the question to the specialist of his party. Mr. Stefansson is student enough to observe that man can not be specifically versed in all branches of science. Therein lies the greatness of the man. He has weighed his knowledge and his ingenuity and is content not to learn “the-all” but to become authority on one or two subjects. Every student is endowed with originality but it must be fanned into flame by persistent study. Genius alone will not [cally?] one through the world; it is limited. Students must drudge through trial and error in quest of knowledge to distribute evenly the limited originality over this life time.
