SUCCESS.
Success, that fleeting and rarely met pleasure, is not easily de
fined. It is one of the things for which perhaps most people would
like a definition. In fact, if someone had a definite policy laid out
which would insure success, that man could make a fortune. But
relative to a definition are some essential points, the factors of suc
cess. The following outline was given in the reports of the Carnegie
Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and is intended pri
marily for engineers. It might easily apply to any walk of life, how
ever. The outline was compiled from questionaires made out by
men all over the United States. The points are as follows:
1.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Character; integrity, responsibility, initiative, resourcefulness.
Judgment; common sense, scientific attitude, perspective.
Efficiency; thoroughness, accuracy, industry.
Understanding of men; executive ability.
Knowledge; of the fundamentals of engineering science.
Technique; of practice and of business.
All University students should be interested in facts lie these,
for it can be readily seen that they are vital. Great men invariably
have character, efficiency, knowledge and all the other factors. Some
excell especially in one or two lines, as Napoleon who was above all
a great judge of men and efficient. Many of these characteristics are
acquired rather than inherited and with proper training, many ordi
nary people could rise far above their present station. So why not
begin to build up these factors scientifically as a part of the business
training for life?
THE BOOMERANG.
Have you ever been particularly interested in the construction
and action of a boomerang as to why it comes back no matter where
or how thrown? And have you also ever curiously tried to apply
the theories of such mechanical devices to every day life?
In other words, "cast your bread on the water and it shall come
back to you." If we could all live up to the Boy Scout requirement
and 'do one good deed for someone every day, we could righteously
feel that we were at least trying. But often in the rush of school
and social affairs, we forget others in our own selfish existence. The
general attitude of the whole world today seems to be to fight for
oneself and let others do the same. In fact, we heard a University
man recently say of modern business, his chosen profession, "It's the
man who can hold his own, no matter how, who is considered success
ful. In order to do real business now, you must forsee the other
man's game and beat him to it. There is no such thing as a square
business man he positively cannot be."
Surely, we said, the entrance of college trained men, believers in
irue sportsmanship and the square deal, into business should change
such conditions. But the reply was that competition was too great
that eventually he also gave in.
Somehow, we are firm believers in the triumph of right over
wrong, and the evil we do will come back upon us every time. World
and campus politics alike eventually must reap defeat if they resort
to crooked means. The general public is never so completely fooled
to allow much in that line in the long run. And old-fashioned or not,
we still cling to the idea that one good deed deserves another.
THE SILK SHIRT CRAZE.
A paradox of the present day is often that the more one pays
lor an article of wear the less service one gets. This is especially
true when the higher price is the result of substituting silk where
wool or cotton formerly was used.
In spite of its decreased qualities the demand for silk continues.
Silk shirts for this spring will cost from $20 to $25 according to Louis
B. Timm, secretary of the largest high grade shirt manufacturing
company in the world. Mr. Tlmm's company in New York has orders
for $13,000,000 worth of shirts for this spring and 60 per cent of the
amount is for silk shirts. Ten years ago, he says, his company sold
very few silk shirts. Now they are a craze.
As a matter of fact the silk shirt is not worn for service. It no
more represents an article of apparel than the diamond stud which
outdoes its brilliancy. Both are merely badges of the expensively
dressed aristocracy. But they are not worn as much by the wealthy
as by the workmen who can least afford them. The man who makes
a habit of wearing silk shirts usually is clothing himself with a false
splendor that fools no one, not even the washerwoman. Exchange.

I know a man. He will soon be the
richest man in the world. His hand
will soon be in my pocket, your
pocket, the professor's pocket The
worst of it is that you and I will have
no say in the matter. This man is
not a genius. He has been striving
away for years, barely eking out an
existence. If this man was a lawyer
or doctor, he would stand no more
chance of getting rich than you or I.
He has bided his time. Right now,
you and I are seriously considering
giving him part of our worldly goods.
There seems to be no escape. Per
haps some loophole may yet appear,
by which we will be able to get out
of his shackles. But there is not
much time for this to happen. One
week ago, you knew that there must
be such a man somewhere in this
world, but you never thought that you
ever deal personally with him. He
has already taken large sums of
money from professional, business and
laboring men all over this United
States and his schedule calls for Ne
braska to be next on the list He is
going to cause greater changes to
take place in this country than Edison,
Ford or Woolworth ever did. He is a
greater man than our next president
will be. 'Who, you say is this man?
The answer is comparatively simple.
He is the overall manufacturer.
