Senior Tells of His Experi
ences in Findinj Work
Some surprising figures v;ero obtained (
Ter&rdlng Ui esponres of tho University
jf Vermont students who filled out ques
tionnaires wit out during ihv winter for
Iho purport of obtaining tho drtlrud data.
Jn the face of tho tremenJous lncrr, In
tho cost of living and the otntcments of
ovrnment experts ns to tho amounts
needed to oupport a family, a canvass of
the students shows that a man could take
li'.mit'lf and fam.'ly to rotlorre cheaper
tttan he wf.A llvo elsewhere, according
o go-vornmont estimated.
Tne Investigation showed that the ov
erage student Is able to spond a year nt
college wltii an er.penso of between 50
liid $150. Some students were able to keep
their expenses down to 1300 and sonio
others spent tn excess of Vir't, from Sep
tember to Jane. It seems remarkable In
tho face of city prices that ono student,
whoso experience !s typical cf them all,
tpent $49 pr month during his collego
year. His expcn.1lf.ires wcro divided up
tia follows: Bonrd t20, college fees $15,
room $t, P'.rsonal expenses J3, book3 2 and
laundry $1. Tfiblo board Is no- obtained tn
Commons hall ut a little ovtr $5 per week.
Many of the students weio found to go
without breakfast nut alone for economy,
but boenuse they dMn't care for It. Among
this number wcro athletes. i
That It Is possible for not only tlio ex-
cepttnnal, hut also for the average student ,
to earn his war through college Is reveal
ed by tan statements of otudonts repre
senting a normal soctton of the body.
During the year an3 vacatlone 11 wero
eamtvig 100 per cent of their expenses, 47
were earning SO por cent or over, 79 were
earning 27 per cent or over and 10 were
earning none cf their expenses. Ono was
earning ICO per month during the college
year, IS were earning 0 and 25 wore cant
ing at losst $20.
While It is evident that it Is possible
for a man to work his way through col
lege. It is a'.bo truo that during tho tlmo
he is carrying on his college work ho .
should not be obliged to earn more than
one-half of his way. Following are tho
occupations which students followed In
making their way: Kitchen work, assist
ing at hospital, painting, sewing, singing i
In choir, Boy Scout work. re-
search work, playing musical in-1
ntruments. Instructing military, assist
ing physical Instructors, shovelling snow.
Ushering, delivering papers, office work,
cleaning rugs, washing windows, acting
as stewards, surveying, mason work, car
pentering, tutoring, census taking, selling,
laboratory, chauffering, garden work,
house work, cutting and raking lawns.
waiting on table, teaching, clerking, tend
ing furnaces, and assisting janitors.
One fact which stands out is that tho
outside work up to a degreo Is good for
the students. Many have worked up into
excellent positions through the work they
did In college. Young people get an Idea
f the value of tlmo, and much of the work
keeps them In touch with the world.
A PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AT U. V.
M. BT A MEMBER OF THE
CLASS OF 1920
"Fortune often brings us better things
than our own wisdom would have pro
vided. As I look back over my college
life, the most surprising reflection Is that
my work for self-support has been no
hardship or hindrance in my colleges life.
On the contrary, I feel that these four
years would Ioso much of their meaning,
did they not have their setting of work,
enterprise, and actual responsibility. To
stand on one's own feet through tho stren
uous years of college Is to accept the
challengo of life Itself; the prize, then, of
those four years is manhood or woman
hood In the richest and fullest sense. Earth
offers nothing greater.
"I well remember my arrival as a fresh
man at the University of Vermont. I came
unacquainted with college life or even
city life. I had Ideas, of course, most of
which were to be overturned. But I had
taken the collego life for my own, with
faith in what it represented and a deter
mination to play a worthy part.
"It was a few days before enrollment,
so the campus was quiet on that bright
September morning. Collego Row seemed
not so strange. It was somehow as imagi
nation had foreseen it. I walked down
University Place to make myself feel at
home with the Old Mill and tho library;
I looked across the campus and over the
city to Lako Champlaln and the near
mountains. Already I was glad I had come.
"But I was yet to know the spirit of the
university as revealed in its democracy
and fellowship. That morning I called at
the offices of administration, and was
made to feel that I was already a part of
the university, with its privileges and re
sponsibilities. Later, I met tho chairman
of the committee on student employment:
of him I received tho first impression of
a remarkable circumstance at tho uni
versity: Not only is student self-support
general here, but It Is tho usual and ex
pected thing.
"The chairman had immediate work to
offer. Three of ub spent tho afternoon at
the Agricultural Collego. Here I met my
first classmates. We were together In
other work about the college building and
at the homes of faculty members. Tho
acquaintances thus formed grow Into gen
uine friendships which have lasted to this
day.
"Before the week was over there CAme
a piece of real good fortuno In tho offer
of a steady position In one of tho offices
at the university. I took the place for what
It was worth at the time, but It turned
out to b permanent in that I held it for
two years and have boon In a nay con
nected with It for these other two yoars.
It was Juct routine work, for tho mont
"part, but It assured mo of support, and I
'was content. But It held advantages which
I had not anticipated. When too students
name, I was thrown Into Intimate contact
with them, and made to feel again that
significant sense of comradeship, mini
foetlng Itself In work, as well as In reero
atlon and soda', activities.
"As my acquaintance broadened, I found
that my own circumstances wero typical
iaf the majority. Nearly evoryono was
working his way in wholo or In part, and
was proud of It. I (won know sotne who,
while financially wo'.l fixed, woi'-ed some
Jor appearances' sake. I noted, too, that
outside work did not cripple anyono In his
.studies. Some of tho most notable 'sharks'
were spondlng considerable time out doors.
This Is substantially true of tho women as
well as of the men.
'We had somo good times to enllvon
things now and then. On ono week-end a
number of us worked at Bishop Hopkins
JHall. a private girls' school on Rock
.Point. That was a real adventure for us,
and an evont for tho school, I suspect. On
ooe aftornoon we wonted on a fruit farm,
gathering apples and pears. When wo
started bark, tho daughter of tho house,
a 'University girl, presented us with choice
Srpea from tho garden. Again we felt
'that tt was good to be U. V. M. men.
"I bogan my sophomore year with one
hundred dnlbrs an1 no vlslblo resources,
,1 did not know wholhv I could make It
.-or not, but I ime on and tru'ted to
Juck. 1 fonnd it o-y to got started airaln.

ej my board thero fur tho year, woiktng
under one of the most bcneflclcnt manage

studi.nts working there, Commons hall
took the place of homo. So long an we did
our work, It mipported us; when we weie

were always ensured of the matron's smlla

"I remember that I finished that retr
forty dollars In debt. But the crisis was
rast. That rummer I was ono of a number
to remain nt the unlvninlty for summer
work. The- wares from that worlt, added
to what I earned by working after hours
In another place braced up my tottering
flnancos and promised me succesa for the
two remaining years. So the Junior and
senior years were different. I did no much
outsido work as ever, but I worked with
certainty, for I knew that I hail won out.
"From my experience and observation,
I have concluded that the U. V. M., be
cause of Its temperament and Its relation
to tho Htate and community. Is uniquely In
position to ottrT nnnnrtunit'es to Its un
dergraduates. Numerous Instances can be
quoted. At pi cent, one of the engineering
professors Is city engineer of Burlington.

ment often haV6 regular positions on tho
faculty of tho Burlington high school, or
supply In various schools of tho State.
Somo agricultural students work at the
university farm; calls come In for students
to prune fruit trees during vacation. The
Mary Fletcher hospital maintains a limited
number of Interns who aro
senior year at medicine.
, ,
"Tho prospective students would ask us
how much resources ho should have be-
fore attempting college. I would say to
savo tho earnings of tho summer, and
come on. Work ns best you can, and do
not spend unnecessarily. If things go
wrong, Just hang on a while longer until
tho tide turns. Make the most of the sum
mers as they come along and of tho win
ters, too, for that matter. If you arc for
tunate you may be able to pay as you go;
If you aro not fortunate you may finish
college In debt about three or four hun
dred dollars. But come and try anyway!
It takes only courage to try. And remem
ber it is such as you that tho U. V. M.
wants.

A strange thing about It Is that Now Eng-

colleges aro situated, has been more back-

I When Dean Tlnkham flrst took hold
of the idea, there was a crying need for
doctors because of the absence of tho
younger men who had gone Into the serv-
Ice. Recently he and others became more
active and In March the medical faculty
held a meeting at which a committee
consisting of Doctors J. B. Wheeler.
B. H. Stone and T. S. Brown was ap-
pointed to Investigate the question of co
education In medicine, and the ad
visability of its adoption in tfc: University

VERGE OF BANKRUPTCY

Although some people think- nth,i.
thero ls no Isolation In the world at pres-1
iiaU uuccis one nation affects all
nations. Our world has come to be an
Industrial world. Since the war. It has
become almost Imposslblo to get coal
raw material, and labor to carry on tho
Industries of the world. For theso rea
sons, the world has almost stopped work
The cessation of the world factory Is'
Imminent. Financial world bankruptcy
threatens!
This condition Is serious. It affects
everyone's pocketbook. We feel that u..
are wronged and try to take It out of
someone else. Sometimes wo take It
out of the wrong person and-that starts
more trouble.
I One troublo Is the largo Increase of
paper money and bonded Indebtedness tn
the world. Ten years ago, the paper
money In tho world amounted to only
about-ten billion dollars. in 1914 it
had reached 0 billion; to-day It amounts
to El billions. Besides this amount.
Russia Is now being tilled with 34 bil
lions In paper money, with the Idea of
destroying the value of money and thus
undermining tho capitalistic system,
As to bonded Indebtedness, tho world
had only 40 billions of It In 1914. The
bonded Indebtedness of the world nt
present Is S60 billions. Tho gold reserve
of the United States In 1914 was 75 per
cent, whero It is only about 12 per coit
at present.
Not only Is tho world becoming finan
cially bankrupt, as shown by the above.
,,ut ll nlso H becoming Intellectually
bankrupt as well. Thero U no ono in
tho world to-day. said Professor Emerson,
In whom tho world has confidence to

opened with the singing of "Hall, Green
and Gold" and n collego cheer, led by
Wrlston. '22. Judge E. C. Mower, who was
to have spoken, was unable to pro present,
hut sent a letter expressing absoluto ap
probation of tho building project. Tho lat
ter was read by acting-President Guy W.
Bailey. Lieut. Gov. Mason S. Stono spoke
briefly on tho principal topic, giving
r hearty endorsement of It. Ho was follow.
,cd by Justice George M. Powers of Mor-
rlsvlllq, tho principle speaker. Judge Pow
ers expressed (lis approval of college ath
letics becauso of their physical benefl's,
their training In sportsmanship, and es
peclallv because of tho Institutional sotrit
they rouso among the students and the
graduates. Ho felt that the memorial .
building would have the same erfect as
athletics In stimulating university loyal
ty among all tho sons of the CJn!vrstty
of Vermont. Major Frederick W. Racket',
who was expected to speak, was un.ble to
come and the next speaker was M. C.
Bond, president of the senior class. Ho
outlined tho plans for the building, the
needs of which It would fill, and tho way
In which pledges should be made. Provided
that every student should pledge $100 un
der the regular plan of payment within
four years after graduation, well over
$50 000 would bo subscribed. After his
speech, pledge cards wero distributed.
THE PROPOSED BUILDING
Plans for tho memorial building are on
exhibition on tho bulletin board of the
Old Mill. It Is planned to havo this build
Ing on tho slto now occupied by tho pres
ident's house and It will probably some
what resemble Morrill hall so that College
row will be well balanced. The Students
hope to havo work started on It by early
fall, if all goes woll. Thero is a little dif
ference of opinion as to Just how the
building should bo laid out. but the con
sensus of opinion Is that there should
be on the first f'.oor an auditorium which
will accommodate 2 000 peoplo. This will
also have a stago with enough equipment
for simple plays, entertainments, etc.
There will also probably be ba'conles.
Then on this first floor there will be a
social room, a trophy room and offices.
Thf next floor Is to be devoted to offices
of sucn organizations as -.he Cynic, the
Ari.il. the Y. M. C. A., tho Y. W. C. A.,
etc. Then on tho third floor thero will
be reading room, writing room, a recep
tion room and perhaps a social room. It
ls planned to have somewhere In the
bunding at least two cormlttio rooms,
one which will accommodate 100 and one
nhlch will hold 30 people.
The basement, according to the. plans,
wl',' bo given over to a Commons hall. In
wli'ch meals will be served either On the
cafeteria plan or as a regular Commons or
perhaps so It can be run elthjr way at
will. Then there will also bo a smoking
room and a ladies' room.
Somewhere ln the building, It Is planned,
to have a memorial tab'et bearing tho
I names of tho 22 Unl-erslty of Vermtnt
men who made the supreme sacrifice It
has also be in suggested that a trophv case
be placed in the lobby on tVe first floor so
it may easily be seen.
. The building will bo ln nn advantageous
location for public entertainments for It
ls so near the car lino and there will not
be tho long walk thero Is to get to he
gymnasium. It ls planned to have the
building a little longer than the gym. One
of the plans of tho student committee Is
to have the professors eat at the Com
mons hall with tho students and In that
way they will como to know each other
better.
Tho goal set by the committee for this
building la $300,000. Of course that can
not all bs raised by tho students but tho
chairman of the committee, M. C. Bond,
president of the senior class, says that
the students will make a substantial start
toward raising this amount. Working
with him aro R. W. Chuter, R, O. Fowler.
E. W. Lanco E. C. Melby, Miss Alene
Crosby, Miss Marjorie Scott, Miss Mar
Jorle Young, Miss Kathryn Davis, E. D.
McSweeney, L. F. Richards and Z. H.
Ellis. An elaborate system has been
worked out by this committee whereby
the students may pledge certain amounts
and pay them in four installments, one
i at the beginning of each year after thoy
get out of college. Tho committee has this
plan all worked out and they say If they
get three pledges of $125 per year thoy
will get $1,600 and so on down, increasing
tho number of pledges and decreasing the
amounts, until finally If they get 559
pledges of $25 a year for four years xhtf
will raise $55,000. This looks to the com
mittee llko an easy Job.
At flrst It was planned to havo the
donntlons come entirely from the men
as It was argued that many of tho girls
will marry soon after leaving college nnd
If they marry university men, these men
will have to pay both pledges, but tho
girls Insisted on being Included ln thn
canvass and aro making plans to show
they can contribute as much as the men.
Tho pledges which were handed out at
tho university Friday read. "In
memory of twenty-two of our boys who
did not consider 'the cost. " Then the
t pledge gOes on. "For value received I
gladly promlso to pay," etc. Then there
ls a clause whereby the porson giving
the plodge may change tho terms If It ia
found to be absolutely necessary.
