Sayer, w ho was an enthusi astic canoeist, notwithstanding the fact that the recent heavy rains had transformed the river into a raging torrent, induced Mr. H a w ks to go out for a cruise. T h ey started out shortly after supper, keeping in the less rapid part of the river until they came to what is known as the H a g- adorn Bridge, east of the college. As they pushed out into the current the bridge in order to pass under filled with listed and the canoe water, both men at the same time jumping into the river but retaining their hold on the canoe, which was still upright, and while they were being carried swiftly down stream, tried to w o rk themselves into shal low water. succeeded M r.

Sayer attempted to come up along trie side of the canoe, but was so nearly exhausted that he lost his hold and went down. M r. H a w ks then swam to his assistance, but was un able to reach him and, being caught by the current, was himself swept down stream until he caught another overhanging limb, and, more dead than alive, managed to pull himself out. After scaling the steep bank he fell from sheer exhaustion. As soon as he could rise he started for help. One of rubber boots the which he wore had been lost in the river, and, taking off the other, he the direction of M r s. started residence. W a t e r, how Bogue's ever, had backed up in a ravine which turned him from his course, and he struck out for the road, and then, chilled the marrow, and only semi-conscious of his surround ings, ran the entire distance to sta tion terrace and gave the alarm. It was some time before he was re stored to consciousness, and it was thought that the exposure might re sult in serious consequences, but he was able to be out the next morning. in to T he news spread rapidly about the campus and faculty and students rushed to the scene of the accident, hoping against hope that they might be able to find and assist the unfortu river, however, nate man.

During the past year this question has been brought to the attention of the board at various times by other societies desiring to erect similar houses but sentiment because of a growing against college fraternity houses throughout the country the board thought best to make a thorough investigation of the question before President giving a final answer. Graham was directed to make this investigation, and, believing it to be the alumni a question in which would feel a special interest and whose advice might indicate a wise the problem," prepared solution of an- . mailed to all the alumni whose addresses were known, except the last five classes, a letter stating the situation and asking for a candid opinion as to the course to pursue. According about 700 inquiries were sent out, from which 278 replies were received. Of these 35 were favorable to the erection of society houses for living purposes, 218 were opposed and 25 expressed opinion. decided A m o ng these were letters from a number of alumni who have experi in this or other ence as teachers educational institutions, and w ho are familiar with the society house problem. Of these, 90 per cent, were opposed to the erection of so ciety houses for living purposes. to his report no Basing their decision on this re port the board adopted the follow ing resolution : "In accord with the expressed senti ment of between eighty and ninety per cent, of the alumni heard from, be it resolved that it shall be the policy of this institution to foster the dormitory system of housing students, and that efforts will be made to increase as rapidly as possible dormitory accommo dations, eating halls and quarters for social purposes. Resolved farther, that this Board shall not give its consent to the erection of society houses for living purposes, but it shall encourage the erection of houses by our literary soci eties for literary and social purposes, it being understood that such houses shall contain rooms for alumni and care takers.

T he river is now going down rapidly, which will facilitate the work of the searching party. is M r. Sayer came to M. A.

T he results of his work last year were recently published in a tech nical bulletin, " T he Keeping Quali this year he ties of Butter," and was working on problems in soil bacteriology. He was considered as a man of exceptional ability in his line of work, who gave consider able promise, for the future. He had traveled extensively, was a man interested of wide experience, was in various fields of scientific work, and was a member of several scien tific the Michigan Academy of Science, of which he was recently re-elected sec retary. organizations, including reside.

"We conceive it to be the duty of a Board placed in charge of an institution maintained by taxation to keep such an institution as far as possible within the reach of the average student. There fore we adopt this policy, and trust it may have the approval of the alumni and other friends of the institution to the democratic spirit the end which has characterized the college in the past may be maintained, and that it may continue to be an institution where the sons and daughters of all citizens, without distinction, may secure an edu cation which will fit them for the prac tical duties of life." that A full report on the question will be issued in the near future and will be mailed to all alumni.

At Columbia $125,000 was earned by students during the last school year. O ne half of the4,ooo students at N ew York University are earn ing all or part of their expenses. At (he University of Nebraska the Y. M. C. A. last year helped young men to get work which amounted to $6,000. O ur own Y. M. C. A. has conducted an employment bureau during the past year and has been instrumental iii helping many a student to obtain work to assist in paying expenses, though no statis tics are kept. President Hadlev in his inaugural address said that Yale did not need so much an increase in beneficiary funds as an increase in the opportu nities for students to earn their liv ing. " An education," he said, "if given without exacting a corres ponding return, becomes demoraliz ing, but if it is earned by the stu dent as he goes, it has just the oppo site effect." In every college and university are found men and women sacrific ing many of the pleasures and even the comforts of life to secure a col lege education. In some respects it means more in these days for a stu dent to work his way through col lege than it did a generation or so It means more self-denial and ago. a greater test of his quality. Col lege life is less simple than formerly, and the student w ho must spend all his hours out of school in labor is deprived of many social enjoyments and other privileges that go so far with those who have them to make school experience agreeable and to create pleasant memories of the col lege years. T he denials and sacri fices, however, help more than the social pleasures to make strong char acter, and the student w ho must earn his way is not to be commiser In the end he mayr be the ated. gainer. labor and his class w o rk do not together make too heavy a burden he is sure to be the better for his double under taking. If only his outside T he occupations which college men and women find by which they help to pay expense are many and varied.

T he question which naturallv arises is, " Is it worth while to make It is left with many the sacrifice?" high school graduates to decide themselves whether or not they will attend college. W i th some it it is worth is a question whether while to work their way through school or hunt up a job at once, to struggle for four years and come out at the end with nothing but the ed ucation and perhaps a debt, or to start work with the chance of hav ing worked up into a good position, and to have saved money. In the growing power of corpora tions, the shutting out of independ ent concerns all over the country, centralizing of power in business in the hands of a few people, the ever-increasing density of the pop ulation, the chances of getting rich quick, or even of getting into satis factory positions in a short time, are growing less and less. T he good positions are filled by men w ho have experience. Without had money the boy cannot set up a busi ness of his own. long Would the four years' experience in the world push him further along than four years in college? scientifically In answer to the question, "Does a college education p a y ?" Sec. J. M. Dodge, of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, gives the correct following answer. Starting with the average yroung man when he is earning four dollars per week he points out there are four possibilities before him—first, to remain an unskilled to get a shop laborer; training; trade school, and fourth to acquire a lib eral education. second, third to go to a In the case of the first his earn ing capacity steadily increases un til he reaches his maximum average of $10.20 per week at the age of his 22d year. T he shop trained man at the end of six years passes the unskilled laborer, but at the age of twenty-four he has reached his maximum aver age of $15.20 per week. T he young man trained in the trade school at the age of 18 has passed the unskilled worker, and at the age of 2 1 has passed the skilled laborer. W h en he is 24 he has an average earning pow-er of $22 per week and makes his highest average valuation at 31 years. T he technically and liberally edu cated man for years lags behind all three of the other classes. N ot until he is twenty-five does he catch up with the shop-trained man, but at time his competitors have reached the limit of their earning that capacity. Beginning with his 25th year a college trained man's earning capacity shoots up in seven years to $43 per wreek and has not yet reached its limit. results speak for them selves. T h ey are not the guesses of an educational enthusiast, but are the logical results of a careful scien tific investigation. These It is little wonder, in view of the above facts, that so many young men and women are making sacri fices to gain a college training. A nd if it is worth to them the double work, sometimes a life of absolute penury, the foregoing of pleasures all around them, certainly it should be worth it to young men and young women whose parents are in com circumstances,, and w ho fortable can get the full value of the studies and the college life, and certainly parents w ho can afford to send their children should encourage them and give them this aid in the struggle of life when the competition is daily growing keener. RIVER DRIVE SOON TO BE COMPLETE. Barring a continuance of rain and higB water, the river drive, on which work has been pushed during the past t wo weeks under direction of Superintendent Gunson, will soon be completed and will greatly add to the many pleasant drives about the campus. T he drive is on the south side of the river and begins at the athletic field just across the bridge. It then follows along the river bank, up and over the P. M. spur and along the forest nursery to the farm lane. A large culvert, has been put in just east of the dam, and a large till made over it. Otherwise the plan has been to leave it as nearly natural as possible. T he river bank will be beautified, and when com pleted the river may be followed from the west entrance along the north side to the athletic field, then on the south side to the farm lane, a total distance of nearly three-quar ters of a mile. T he classes in civil engineering have assisted in laying it out and have gotten many practical prob lems out of the work. C O M M E N C E M E NT A D D R E S S.

Chicago has a perfectly good new forester at a salary of $2,000 a year, but the city has no forest. Fur thermore, Jacob H. Frost, the newly- appointed forester, finds that there is no appropriation to buy trees and that he hasn't even a pair of prun ing shears to w o rk with. Forester Prost started out on a still hunt early yesterday morning " to find his forest or forests, or what ever he has to take care of to earn his salary, and after an hour's search decided that the only forest in sight was a lot of dead timber in the po lice department. Thereupon he called up Mayor Busse. " T h is is Prost, the new city for ester," said Prost. "I can't find a forest and and am unable to do any- foresting. W h at shall I d o ?" he asked. "I haven't any forests around me. I will call Mullanev and see if he can fix you u p ," said the mayor. " G et a desk and write an article explaining w hy moss grows on the north side of a tree; t r u n k ," w as Mullaney's advice. "T haven't even a desk ; no, not even a lead pencil," said Forester Prost, almost on the verge of tears. " G et a green suit with short pants, stick a feather in your hat and halloo to beat the band, then," replied Mullanev, remembering an showing a green-clad illustration German forester patroling one of the Kaiser's forests.
