associations depends entirely upon the character of those with whom companionships are contracted. If "Sath Sangas" are formed, their influence to elevate and perfect the character of the associates is incalculable ; on the other hand, if the "Sangas" are of an undesirable character, they bring about untold suffering and utter ruin not only daring the Scholastic period but also in later life. Such "Sangas" make or mar the future destiny of the young men and cases are not wanting where many a valuable and promising career has been totally blighted, due to indiscreet and unwise school friendships and associations.

I believe that Mr. Sarroa has told this interesting and instructive story in these pages, with a view to impress on our young friends the utmost care and wisdom in the choice of their imperative necessity for them to bestow their friends and companions. It is unfortunately true that young men in many of our educational institutions are going astray and that their 'Sangas' are not all that should be desired; and we who presume to be their Gurus, have a great responsibility in the matter. It is these feelings I feel quite sure, that have prompted Mr. Seshadri Sarma to bring out this book and I confidently hope that his earnest endeavour would largely conduce to the growth of "Sath Sangams" in our Gurukulams.
