To take William X Vanderbilts word for it, in
herited wealth is a handicap to happiness.
There is nothing for its possessor to hope or strive
for nothing to do to try to get all the fun possible
out of life.
If a man makes money, matter how much, he
finds certain happiness in its possession for in his
desire to increase his business he has constant use
for it, but the man who inherts it has of this
says the noted multimilnonaire Yet he manfests
no disposition to get himself in shape to the
happiness he regrets the lack Of
1t is easy enough for man whose fortune can not
be Appropriated with less than nine figures to simn
late yearning for the joys incidental to the lives of
those whose toll is rewarded by in the accumu
latlon of wealth, and whose efforts to dissipate the
ever present fear of want bring prosperity, But it is
not easy to give him credit for sincerity when he per-
sists holding to the millions the possession of
which he deplores.
II Mr.. Vanderbilt is sincere in declaring that in
herited wealth anything but of real happi.
ness there is nothing to prevent him from getting
rid of his burden in that line starting
JOY life in the way it appears to him most enjoyable.
If he really believes that is happiest when max
ing money, why does he not try his recipe for
happiness and revel in the joys he seems to regret
being deprived of? He might turn phianthropst, for
instance, and cut his fortune up into stakes for less
fortunate members OF the human family than himself
thus enabling them to give his theory of happiness
trial. reserving enough in the meantime to start out
with his account million two ought to
do him to begin with a foundation for a business
the increasing of which to his own words, would
keep in constant every dollar he might make in
the course of its development
The chances are, however, that Mr.. Vanderbilt will
keep trying to get all the fun possible out Of life
without losing much sleep over the disadvantages un
der which he is compelled to labor because of his vast
inheritance True life may appear dull 10 him al
times because OF it's sameness from fun producing
standpoint yet he will cling it the end as wei
as his millions, in spite of his alleged disgust with
both.

space to the subject of physical culture and in mar

gymnastics upon the student mind, the board of re-
gents has asked the legislature for an appropriation
for a gymnasium.
The States responsibility is not limited to the
proper training of the mental faculties of the youth
to which it undertakes the giving of higher educa

Years of observation of university life first as a

President Praher that physical culture is one of the
strongest influences that be brought to bear to

time usefuly spent in the gymnasium that otherwise
might be spent in dissipation but students there ac
