EDGAR FAHS SMITH Ex-Provost of the University of Pennsylvania and connected with that institution for forty-four years as Instructor and adviser, Sends This Message Through the Public Ledger to young men and women seeking a school to prepare for life's work. The Public Ledger, through numerous channels, is striving to assist all young people desirous of entering upon a collego career. Its aims aro deserving of tho gratitude of every one directly or indirectly affected. To the boys and girls who read the Public Ledger let me say that such an opportunity is not to be lightly regarded, and as tho writer is familiar with collego life and all that is embraced therein, he ventures to express himself briefly on tho subject. There Is not tho slightest doubt but that tho young man or woman, coming out of a high school of first grade, possesses a good foundation for tho work of life. In the days when high schools were in their infancy, or even before they existed, there wero many young men with meager training who boldly entered the schools of medicine, or law, or theology, or engaged in business and succeeded. So successful were they that, not infre quently, they were cited as examples of tho uselessnes3 of a collego course before enteiing upon tho serious duties of life. Tako as an example, from among tho very distinguished men of our city, Joseph Lcidy, the eminent scientist, whose name was favorably known to the greatest European savants before he had attained the age of thirty. His knowledge in several of tho sciences was astounding, yet ho himself ndvocatcd the broadest fundamental training for all who intended entering upon tho career of physician or investigator in medical science. Another equally striking example was tho late John G. Johnson famous throughout this country as a most astute lawyer. It may bo advanced that these men were unusual and exceptions to tho generality of tho youth of the land who seek to go forward in tho professions and business. Representatives might also bo diawn from the financial and industrial world, but all these no matter in what lines they succeeded were, in their youthful days, Individuals of purpose, possessing unconquerable determination and a genuine Interest in tho work which claimed their attention. Coming, then, to tho real object of theso lines, viz.: Shall tho boy nnd girl graduate of the high school seek for further learning by embarking on a college career? tho writer would answer: If they aro alivo to the fact that life is a most serious thing and that it behooves them to tako advantage of every BORDENTOWN Military Institute PURPOSE: The individual development of a boy'a character and scholarship for the work of the world in college, scientific school, business or national service. INSTRUCTION: Small classes, individual attention. Each boy is taught how to study. SCHOOL LIFE: High standard of social and moral student life. Supervised athletics, wholesome food, carefully regulated daily program of work and recreation and drill produce sound bodies, capable minds and cheerful dispositions. For catalogue address Col. T. D. LANDON, Drawer C-19, Bordentown, N. J. opportunity to improve themselves, then by all means go to college. Going to college means much and it means little. Today there is such a vast field opened up to the young collegian that if he bo In real earnest ho must almost .tremble in contemplation of the great and glorious things which he will meet in literature, in the economic, political and social sciences, in history, ancient and modern, and in the histories of those lands and peoples with whom wo havo only recently been brought into closer relations: think, too, of the natural and physical sciences, the problems of engineering, architecture and art. Tho collego opens the doors to theso broad fields and surely humanizes one in a most remarkablo way. It is not only the fact that after graduation one is ready to earn a living, but in this collegiate training there come also tho power to think and a spiritual uplift which aro better than all else. But all these grand opportunities will remain as a terra incognita if tho persons to whom they are presented prove unre sponsive and indifferent, because of lack of earnest purpose and because of devotion to nonessentials. If those who look college-ward really mean to acquire that for which the college stands, namely, education, then go to college, even if tho going means a sacrifice, if the way through collego must be made by one's own individual efforts. Education is desired. Get it. Pay tho penalty. It is worth all the effort expended for it. But sad, indeed, is tho picture presented by the young collegian who gains admission hy "aids," by "cribs,", advances by the same methods from year to year, and passes tho finals in n similar dishonest way. Vastly belt' would it have been for him had ho turned away from coIIcro doors and given himself to the humdrum of life with a mental horizon far from that which every normal individual should desire for himself. As the writer ponders on the opportunities offered to young collegians' of the present he is filled with real envy. Ho would lovo to live over again his own college days. While ho worked hard then, he would work harder now. But don't think of collego unless it Is with an honest, sincere purpose to profit from its opportunities. EDGAR FAHS SMITH.

For fifty years Ursinus College has employed all the means at her command in helping students to the full measure of their intellectual, moral and physical inheritance. In the present-day dilemma in which edu cation an essentially broadening process, is contending with training an essentially nar rowing process, Ursinus College takes the position that education should come first and training afterward. To this end, the College confines itself to the collegiate task, undertaking only the four years of college work in the liberal arts and the pure sciences, and conferring upon its students only the academic degrees representative of this grade of study. On this foundation, it encourages its graduates to train for life work in the best university professional and technical schools in the country. Within its chosen field, Ursinus College employs high standards, well tested curricula, professional teaching and adequate equipment for the common purpose of furnishing to the world fully informed and well-disciplined minds controlled by enlightened wills and working in healthy, efficient bodies. To the extent that our youth have visions of these ideals and aims they will continue to seek admission to Ursinus College, and to the extent that our citizens feel the need of this kind of social product they will support Ursinus College.
