Saul goes to consult the Witch of Endor and a whirling wind of ghostly voices imparts to him foreknowledge of doom.

The scroll is blank, for he himself shall write the words that give it meaning. That vague desire for greatness which seems to whisper of some latent genius; is as yet an unharnessed, a random, undirected urge. The great problem of every young man is to find himself, and college is the most likely place to make the discovery...
