They gave as their starting out upon a new me, wnere ms acquaintances are fow and his expert ences are many and varied. He may have a letter from his high school in structor to some friend who will give him valuable suggestions as to getting a start. Or he may have been directed to the Y. M. C. A., which is always a welcome home to students In need of any kind of help. In the Y. M. C. A. rooms he meets others of similar con dition, and sooir forms new friendships. The friendships thus formed during the first few weeks of college life nre very often the firmest ever formed, and many of them last through the entire course, and perhaps on Into out-of-Bchool life. The freshman is not long at the Unl ersity until he is Invited to the liter ary societies, which give open recep tions a couple of weeks after the open ing of the school term. Here at first he goes through the ordeal of meeting stranger after stranger; but u he con tinues to attend the society meetings week after week he soon begins to feel at home, and becomes interested in the work. However, It is not customary for a student In his freshman year to do much in either society or debating .lull It iiHiiallv takes about six months or a year for one to become well enough acquainted with Univer sity Institutions to make a wise deci sion as to which fraternity, society, de bating club, or other organization he will Join. The regular dally program of the btudent who works his way through school Is brief but comprehensive: irom his room to the University, from the Unhersity to his boarding house, and from the boarding house to his loom to study for the next day; when he will repeat the process over again and so on day after day, and week after week to the year's end. Such a process is sure to make narrow, un sympathetic, uncultured bookworms. Some diversion Is necessary, and while the "aristocracy" of the University in dulges In fraternity functions, the more economical and democratic cluss find their mental recreation In the Fri day ovenlnK meetings of the literary societies and Saturday meetings of the debating clubs. Another organization whose novelty attracts the freshman Is the military department. When the young hopeful dons his first cadet Bult, oucicies on ms cartridge belt, and shoulders his gov ernment gun, he ,1s the proudest per- By an Upperclassman forward to the time when he will wear RtrlppH and Bhoulder strnps. and carry a sword Inetrnd of a gun. $ ,. i,iirt n n . . . i r aih,ct'?
