CHOOSING A CAREER
DUTY TO THE BRITISH EMPIRE.
“You must think of your careers, not only in terms of your homeland, but also in terms of the British Empire, for you will have the trust of keeping intact the great heritage left by your forefathers,” said the Marquess of Wellingdon, ex-Viceroy of India, in an address to Dover College boys. He had, he continued, been told there was not much keenness, enterprise or adventure in the spirit of the young men of to-day, and that the comfort and amenities of life had increased so much that they preferred what seemed to him a somewhat dull and monotonous existence of office life at home. This he could not believe to be true. “Only recently,” he went on, “I read an appreciation of a book called ‘Unflinching,’ which was the diary of Edgar Christian, an old boy of Dover College, containing the story of magnificent enterprise, adventure, courage and cheerfulness.”
