Heightss<ths city will be the home OF
one OF the most complete and ups to.date
{collegesS IN sthe world. While the main
point IN view at all times is that Of
the greatest efficiency, elaborateness of
detail has not been lost sight of, and as
o result the new -uilding will rival. IN.

but there is no other college that has not

college EF group the complete set q
university buildings all went up at
one time, each planned with due reference
to the other and all containing the very
latest ideas, to aid the teacher and the
students IN accomplish the best work
possible. & r.
The latestsideas in ventilat ton, in light

connects with the other by means or an
underground passage-way, so that the
studentsI once in the building, do not
have to 20 out Of doors to reach, another

to laboratory or gymnasium. unique

companies come III such constant con-
tact BwifhSthe city government as well
as the State officials, the railroads are
prone to- look with more favor on the

Introduction from apolitical leader.

~ a case iii point was the experience Of
a young man who sought o position as q
conductorSon Inc in the Bronx. He
called On q business friend of his and
asked for iin3 letter Of introductionIt to the
superintend ent. Several fruitless calls at
the office OF the superintendent resulted
In nothing. Then he got aS.'tip. from
an employee. Returning to his business
friend, he told him that If he could
get a letter from the district leader, ne
could get the Job.
The business man was interested and
started out. He found the district leader,
and $50 got thesletter Of .'introductlon,''
though the leader had never seen the
man TOR W ON he wrote 1t. SIS Then the
young Nman called &on the superintendent
again with his letter. This time he saw
the great man, and, what is more, he
had a position and was at work within
two days. What lines Of era 1T there are
In this city that the politicians of both
parties do not get their eyes and hands
on are not worth mentioning, for they
do not exist! NJ
