COLORED MAN PROMOTED.
Harvard Coach from Boston Legislature to
Federal Office.

No little attention has been attracted to the
appointment, through the influence of President
Roosevelt of William Henry Lewis. the colored
legislator of Massachusetts. to be Assistant
United States District Attorney for the Eastern
District of that State. Aside from the political
significance that may may not attach to the
appointment, it will be of interest to all fol-
lowers of the game of football-and how many
that may mean cannot be estimated-because
Lewis was one of the most famous and most
expert centre rushes who ever snapped back"
ball But cannot play football all his
life do active coaching for many years
Apparently Lewis. however. does not intend to
drop out OF public sight when his gridiron
days are over. and his temperance in another
light renews interest in his career.
Lewis was born in Virginia in 1868. both of his
parents being former slaves. His father. how
ever had after the war; become Baptist
minister. and was able to give mis- training
in the State Normal School at Petersburg which
fitted him for college. Lewis entered Amherst
with the class of 90. While in college he was
captain of the eleven, class orator and winner
of several debating prizes.
After his graduation from Amherst he entered
the Harvard Law School, and the same fall was
made centre rush Waters Harvard eleven.
The next year also, he played centre, and in
troduced new tactics ~ the position that made
it of greater Importance than ever before in
the history of the game. on EmmOns's eleven
in 1895. he captained the team TO victory In the
Pennsylvania game after Emmons's injury.
He is a man of tremendous power though in the
game with Pennsylvania he weighed only 164
pounds. and because of his exceptionally large
head and curly hair gives an impression of even
greater physical force than ne possesses. Many
have remarked that he does not look so much
like a negro as some ancient Aztec come to life.
He could never he taken for AngIo-Saxon at
any rate.

the emoluments of Harvard University remain

Has the self-supporting student time to strive

Yes" Time and again it has been demon

as that fair average is at least 40 cents so
that by working two hours day during the
forty weeks of school the remaining $3.50 can
easily be obtained. OF course the difference in
wages is great, but those who earn the least
generally receive the largest Scholarships

Harvard, too, has it's students who fairly rake
in the money during their college course. Every
one has heard of the egg and butter who
began by peddllnS from door to door and ended
up as the head of the largest creamery agency in
New-England also of many others who, from
experiences and contrivances during their
dergraduate days. have built up some business
which has carried them comfortably through all
their after life. Many merchants in and around
Cambridge and Boston to-day made their first
steps while they were still in college. Their
numbers include insurance agents. book dealers,
candy manufacturers. hotel proprietors etc.
Journalists and literary men, too, the re-
suit in many cases of compulsory work in col
iege. Harvard to-day has many men who earn
small part of their college expenses by writ
ing for magazines, newspapers and other period
icals. Several popular books which have had a
widespread circulation have been written dur
ing their authors undergraduate days, and
many contributions to the best magazines in the
country come from boys who are hardly out of
their teens
And still there are other ways. One man sells
pictures and posters: another has a laundry

horse and laundry wagon of his own; another
