Editorial
The legend of The Mentor must by this time have become familiar to all readers. It is printed on the cover, “A Wise and Faithful Guide and Friend.” We have been asked the origin of this. The phrase is quoted exactly from the definition of MENTOR as given by one of the highest authorities in the English language. We are glad that some one asked this. It is the sort of inquiry that makes our mail interesting. The character of correspondence that comes to The Mentor is extraordinary. It is the natural response to the offer of service that The Mentor extends. The keynote of The Mentor Association plan is helpful service. Our mail shows that there is a large public that is eager and earnest in its desire to benefit by this service. It seemed to us that we could not express the spirit of The Mentor better than by quoting literally the phrase that defines the word—“a guide and friend.”
