The man who works his way through
college regards the getting of an edu
cation as a plain business proposition.
Ho gives of his time, labor and hours
of pleasure, and for It receives a train
ing that will lift him abovo his former
plane and fit him for a position in the
business or industrial world sufficient
to command the respect of those about
him. He weight! his chances and makes
an estimate of hlo own resources of
mental and bodily vigor before taking
the step which, while productive of so
many Important results, will often se
verely test his moral courage. Coming
to the University, ho finds a serious
problem bofore him. Ho must find a
means to live, find still rely upon him
self for all ho gets. Yet If he has a
willing Bplrlt, a determination to suc
ceed, ho does not find any great diffi
culty In obtaining a position upon
which ho may rely for his main sup
port. Though ho may reallzo that ho
Is laboring under than those who are
not obliged to work, In most cases he
has an equal chance with them If he is
able to "Systematize his work. This Is
(he main trouble. His services for a
certain amount of time are pledged to
another, and oftentimes ho flndB him
Belf hampered In his studies by an Ir
regular run of work. Yet he must keep
before him the end for which he Ib
striving, and subordinate to this con
sideration practically all social enjoy
ment and natural Inclinations.
Ab stated above, It Is not, as a rule,
difficult for the student to find work.
There are many chances open to him
If he has the ability or inclination to
profit by them. A largo majority of
the working body hold positions as
waiters in the public eating houses.
Nearly every hotel, restaurant or pri
vate boarding house In the city em
ploys the services of University stu
dents In this capacity. Thus the waiter
Is at least assured of IiIb board, which
Is certainly a long Btep toward the so
lution of the problem of living. In
some cases he 1b able to supplement
his financial condition by doing addi
tional work. But such Instances are In
frequent, bb the demands upon the av
erage waiter require all the time he
can Bpare. As a rule, he has to also
depend upon money earned previously
during vacation, or upon financial as
slBtanco from home. Onco In a great
while one may hear of some superla
tively industrious and enorgetic man
who struck the city without a cent In
his pocket and with no one from whom
to expect assistance, and worked IiIb
way through by doing strictly manual
labor. But Investigation shows such
caseB to be extremely rare.
However, a number of Instances may
be. cited of Btudonts having a knowledge
of some trade or profession who -are
able to make their living expenses and
also attend the University. For ex
ample, those who have a knowledge of
stenography or bookkeeping are able
to earn good wugeB If they can Bpare
the necessary time. The main obstacle
presented to them Ib that the run of
work, whllo good, is often Irregular,
and accordingly heavy demands are
frequently made upon their time when
they can 111 afford to aparo It. Thus
they are required to register for shorter
hours and upon many occasions to
burn the midnight oil.
The dally newspapers of Lincoln
employ largo numbers of students as
carriers. While those who carry the
morning papers are required to rise
earlier than most students would care
to, they all agree that no better con
stitutional can be found than the ex
ercise in the early morning air.
Many students receive employment,
more or less lucrative, from the Uni
versity. Student stenographers arc
employed in the various offices and
quite a number serve as library assist
ants, assistants In the physics and
chemistry laboratories, janitors of the
grounds and buildings, and readers.
Some correct examination papers foe
University and high school professors.
A number Increase their earnings by
taking charge of one of the check
rooms for a certain number of hours
a week. In few Instances are the stu
dents who engage In work of this kind
forced to depend upon the money they
get. Most of them aro not obliged
to work at all, but do bo in order
to live independently or to earn pin
money.
Photography is quite well represent
ed, and soveral. we understand, flml It
profitable and earn considerable money
at It. Several students have already
entered the ministry and have charge
of churches In Lincoln or nearby
towns. Others hold varloiiB sorts of
positions, such as writing for public
officers and private business firms,
clerking 1 ndry goods or shoe stores
at odd hourB, or acting as cashiers In
restaurants.
One or two men make UBe of their
musical talents and play In various or
chestras, thus being able to partially
defray their expenses. Some solicit
advertising for Lincoln papers and
others collect for gaB and electrical
companies. This kind of work takes
time, but It Ib profltablo If the man
posscBB the requisite amount of nerve.
Quite a number of students are em
ployed about private houses, and are
able to earn their board and lodging
in this way. Their work consists In
taking care of horses, doing chores, and
making themselves generally useful.
Others are able to save room rent by
taking care of professional offices or
tending to furnaces. There are other
wayB In which students are assisted In
getting through college, but these are
mostly of a technical character and
apply only to Individuals. Hence space
cannot be taken up for their treatment.
A diversity of opinions exists In re
gard to how outside work affects the
student's school life, but the concen
sus seems to be that a majority of
working students are hampered In
their work. Practically all who work
are obliged to keep late hours and
carry moderate courses. The Irregu
larity of the work often compels the
student to neglect studies that require
constant and careful application. A
man of sound Judgment stated that In
his opinion a student who works loses
no more time than other students
waste. This view Is probably a little
too optimistic. But it cannot be denied
that Borne of the brightest students In
the University depend partially, at
least, upon their own work for a liv
ing. When a man undertakes, to work his
way through college, it 1b at once ap
parent that he must largely forego the
social side of life If he hopes to make
a success. He cannot spare the time
to indulge his social taBtes and at the
same time do his work and get his les
sonB. An occasional Bhow at the end
of the week, -or a class party, Is gen
erally the extent of his social opera
tions. Yet most of the students who
work agree that they are able to stand
the loss. Some students do not. find

time to take part in athletics, although
their tastes run In that direction. And
of course, as has been previously
stated, they frequently lose chances to
stand better In their school work.
Whatever a student loses In attend
ing to outside duties Is more than
compensated for by what ho gains.
This Is the emphatic view of many
students of sound judgment who are
able to speak either from experience
or from careful observation. First of
all, he gains profitable experience that
will enable him to choose wisely his
life's work and to depend upon himself
at all times. He becomes acquainted
with human nature and knows what
the world Is like. He learns tho value
of money and how to spend It wisely.
At tho same time he develops man
hood, business tact and self-reliance,
as well as responsibility that cannot
be had without experience. Hence,
when he finishes hlB college course he
has two educations, equally valuable
and mutually supplemented. He Is
better fitted to face the world than
many students whose path has been
pleasanter, and Is more certain or a
successful career.
