Thousands  of  men  and  women  have  visited 
the  campus  during 
the  summer  and  enjoyed 
its  scenery.  Touring  parties,  picnickers,  and 
conventions  have  been  daily  occurrences.  But 
one  of  the  main  attractions  for  the  gatherings 
has  been  the  opportunity  of  hearing  President 
Friday  discuss  economic  subjects.  Five  thou 
sand  people  from  the  farms  met  in  the  Forest 
of  Arden  on  August  4  to  see  the  live  stock 
parade  and  hear  the  various  speakers  who  had 
been  chosen  to  make  a  complete  program  but 
most  of  them  were  drawn  here  to  listen  to  the 
new  president  expound  his  doctrine  and  deduct 
' 
his  predictions. 
He  has  sent  them  all  away  thinking.  To  the 
farmers, 
the  Grange  Life 
Assurance  company  and  the  other  groups  of 
visitors  he  has  preached  a  policy  of  better 
farming  through  the  improvement  of  the  pro 
ductive .-'unit:.  He  told  the  rural  visitors  the  in 
come  of  the  agricultural  industry-of 
the  state 
should ••  be  increased  by  $50,000,000  within 
next  five  years  and  he  told  the  weekly  editors 
he  needed 
the  help  of  every 
community  to  bring  about  this  betterment.  He ; 
intends  to  accomplish  his  end  through  the  co 
operation  of  the  people  in  eliminating  the  culls 
among  their  herds  .and  flocks  and  the  use  of

ANNA  COWLES  GOES 

OF  COLLEGE  AIMS 

In  his  address  at  the  University  of  Illinois 
last  June,  Dr.  Eugene  Davenport,  '78,  retiring 
as  vice  president  of  the  university  and  dean  of

What  college  failed  to  give  him 

An  unusual  letter  from  a successful  man  to a younger  man 

A  hundred men graduate from college  in  the same class with identi 
cally the  same training.  At  the  end  of  ten  or  fifteen  years,  a  few 
of  the  hundred  have  forged  far  ahead.  They  have  "made  a  place 
for  themselves"  while  the  great  majority  are  still  held—many 
of  them  permanently  held—in  the  routine  places  of  business. 

W H AT  causes  the  differ 
ence?  What  extra  training 
do the  few  add  to  their  col 
lege  work  which 
carries 
them  so  much  farther  and 
faster? 

A  clear-cut,  interesting  answer 
to that question was given recently 
in a letter  by 

A  college  m an  to  w h om 
success  c a me  early 

Stephen  B.  Mambert,  Vice-Presi 
dent  of  the  widespread  enterprises 
established  by  Thomas  A.  Edison, 
is still in his early thirties.  To  his 
desk  there  came  a  letter  from  a 
young  man  in Texas:  "I  am  con 
ducting a  little  business here,"  the 
young  man  wrote.  "What  can  I 
do  to  grow  and  to  make  it  grow? 
Would  the  Alexander  Hamilton 
Institute  be  a  paying  investment 
for  me?" 

To which  Mr.  Mambert  replied: 

"In  answer  to  your  inquiry  I 

cannot  do  more  than  outline 

My  own  experience 

learned 

"The  chief 
in 
thing  I 
college  was  how  to  study.  Not 
withstanding  the  fact 
that  my 
schooling  provided  me  with  an 

opportunity  to  study  many  of  the 
things which are regarded  as  valu 
able, I  very  keenly felt,  upon  leav 
ing  college  and  entering  business, 
that  I was like a wheel with  spokes 
lengths,  and  that  I 
of  different 
needed  something  to  round  out 
and  to  bring  together  into  a  com 
plete  whole  the  different  spoke 
In  fact,  I entirely  lacked 
lengths. 
In  my  individual 
several  spokes. 
case, 
the  Alexander  Hamilton 
Institute  Course  served  this  very 
useful  purpose." 

T he  little  added  training  t h at 
makes  success 

What, precisely, did the  Alexander 
.Hamilton  Institute  give  to  Mr. 
Mambert 
to  what 
in  addition 
college had  given  him? 

training 

It  gave  him  the  same  sort  of 
graduate 
in  business 
which  hospital  experience  gives 
to  the  physician,  or  the  law  office 
gives to the lawyer.  This  training 
includes  a  knowledge  of  the  prin 
ciples  underlying  every  major 
activity  in  business — sales,  ac 
counting,  costs,  merchandising, 
factory  and  office 
advertising, 
management,  corporation  finance. 

Add  this  training  to  the  four 
years  of  college,  and  you  give  a 
man  a  distinct  advantage  over  his 

classmate  who  has  the  cultural  or 
technical  training  of  college  alone. 
And  the  cost  of  the added  training 
in  money  and  time  is  trivial  in 
comparison  with  the  rewards. 

A  book  worth  sending  for

the  Alexander 
The  facts  about 
Hamilton 
its 
Course  is,  and  just  what  it  has 
done for  other college men —  have 
been  condensed  into  a  118-page 
book "Forging Ahead in Business.'' 
To many a man  the  evening which 
he spent with this book has  proved 
more  valuable  than  any  other  in 
his  business  life.  There  is a  copy 
for  every  thoughtful  college  man; 
it  is  a  book  well  worth  adding  to
