Third of the Articles on the 8ubject by Recent Alumni. The third of the series on the frig ldnos8 of the world comes from Mau rice Benedict, '06, one of "Nebraska's old star athletes in football, basket ball and track work. Mr, Benedict graduated from the forestry course, but has now gone nfter something that glitters a little more, so he declares. He expresses himself as follows: I might add to the old idoa that tho world is a "cold place "that nil Is not gold that glitters," but I beliovo there is enough of the real thing to go around so there is no need of worry ing as to how cold the world is oi seems to be. 1 have been out of school a year npw and admit that my ideas of the world have changed a good deal in that short time. I don't beliovo I am an exception because I thought that as soon as I got out of college some fel low was waiting to receive me with open arms in order to make me a suc cessful man. Perhaps that statement is a iittle extravagant, but probably ivd till, have, more or less of jm ego tistical Btreak in us and perhaps, too, it Is a good thing to haver-in small quantities. I "believe ar fellow's school life is ohc of the happiest times of his existence, for afterwards ho must- enter into real life and he has qt greater responsibil ity thrown upoi him for he has a fu ture. to make, tho importance of which has never exactly dawned on him bo fore.r '" That Is getting, off the subject, I guess. Somehow the, world has not felt very cold to. me. so fars tho of course, there are times when a fellow gets "blue.' I have ventured into the mining' in dustry, and am now seeking earth's, "golden treasure.' It, has a "wonderful fascination for one, but most people (i Nebraska have an idea that the seeker for gold has as much chance of finding is at had the olden knights In their search for the "Holy Grail." To one who has been west and among the mountains where men live almost entirely by the products of the mine, a new conception pf the Industry comes. It is clean money and is not produced at tho expense of others' privation, anyway. No, i am optimistic about tho "cold world," and hope and believo there is a place for everybody in its busy life. At least a fellow can try tp be happy, and "Tp. be :happy is to be great" so the sages Jell us. '.' MAURICE BENEDICT. Mr.'tSiTuiuel.
