A WATERLESS FOUNTAIN AND A CLOCK WITHOUT HANDS
Now that the lilac bushes are in bloom, the grass a beautiful
green, and continuation of warm weather assured, why does not
someone have the water turned on in the campus fountain? Also,
why not purchase a new pair of hands for the clock which hangs
on the outside of the Library building? Even the poor old Sun Dial
is bent out of shape so that it can not possibly tell the time. We
have so few relics such as these about the campus, and it is indeed
a shame they can not be kept in working order.
The class of 1909 et-.-y intended that the University should
use the drinking fountain which it left to the alma mater as a last
remembrance. Only two weeks remain until the close of school,
and if the water is not flowing from the fountain in a short time,
the poor old thing will fall into rot and decay. The clock, which
used to tell us the time as we were running for our "eight o'clocks,"
has ceased to function. In the days of its youth, it never ran by
Waltham. but followed Ingersoll time, being a few minutes off most
of the time. Even this was far better than no clock at all. We are
not favored with an old, old, tower clock, ivy covered, like some
schools. We do not hear the tolling of large chimes as each hour
passes by. Nothing could be more acceptable, and such a gift would
remain for long years, its guiding hands and chimes, being ever
present in the lives of all students.
But, not having anything better at present, we should at least
make the best of what we have. Surely a pair of hands can be pur
chased at small cost, and running water in the fountain will cost
nothing. Both the clock and the running water in the fountain will
be greatly appreciated by everyone on the campus. Why not mate
the most of the few old land-marks that we have on the campus?
A COLLEGE EDUCATION
Only one per cent of American men are college graduates, but
this one per cent has furnished 55 per cent of the presidents of the
United States, three per cent of all congressmen, 47 per cent of the
speakers of the House, 54 per cent of the secretaries of the treasury.
67 per cent of the attorney generals and 69 per cent of the justices
of th United States . Supreme Court
These figures are contained in a bulletin recently issued by the
bureau of education of the United States department of the interior.
Dr. Arthur Holmes, dean of the faculty of Pennsylvania State
College, asserts a college education is -worth $20,000 to the average
man. He reaches this figure by comparing the average yearly income
of the college graduate, $1187, and the average yearly income of the
man without college training, which is $518. This leaves a difference
of $650 yearly for the college man.
The average college man is 22 years old at time of graduation.
He has an expectancy of 30 years, which at $650 a year means a total
profit to him of $18,500 as a result of his college education. Perdue

ARE YOU WORTH WHILE?
There is a time in a man's or a woman's life when he begins to
ask himself if he is worth while to his friends or to the world in
general. If he does not begin to question himself and to invoice
his character stock, it is so much the worse for him because his as
sociates and friends, and incidentally the world in general, will do it
for him with vary ing consequences to him and his entire career.
The failure of many college men and women to attain the goal
of their supreme ambition is because they have allowed themselves
to follow the lines of the innate selfishness of their natures. Some
never have any ambition beyond that which lies this side of the
horizon. Now is the time to cultivate friendships, to learn how to
labor for your friends and associates so that you may learn to gain
their faith and confidence and that of the world in which every
red blooded man or woman aspires to play no ignominious part. Lay
aside your snoblshness, your selfishness and all of the little petty
things that mark the prudish man and woman and do something
for your friends, your alma mater, and for sheer love of life and work,
for work's sake.
Can yourfriend depend upon you and your word to the last
ditch, have you a purpose in life beyond attending the next dance or
a popular movie, have you an ideal, which though It is so high that
you can never hope to attain It completely, yet by approximating Its
attainment place your character on a plane above that of other men,
are you imbued with the spirit of personal loyalty to the men who be
lieve in you, and do you believe In yourself enough to feel htat the
whole wide world is pulling and tugging at you to come forth and
conquer It fr your own? The man or woman who can affirm this
by his actions is worth while. Perdue Exponent

ARTHUR L. WEATHERLY, Minister
This organization maintains the mod
ern scientific attitude toward religion. It
appeals to many university students, for
whom the old conceptions of religion have
become inadequate. Its purpose is not to
tear down any young man's or young
woman's faith, but rather to built it upon a
solid and enduring foundation.
