@HE future, ruler of 3,OOo,o0 sub
 (CD jeots and the heir of riches that make the famed wealth of Mi- das pale into insignifornce, Prince Jaisin- srao Gaikwar,. the son of an Indian Ra- iah. is now preparing himself at liar ward for his future position.
 when the Gaikwar of Baroda, second in importance among the Rajans' visi,eu America two years ago he was so pleased with the methods of teaching at HarVaro that his last word to President Eliot was that his sons would be sent to finish their education at Cambridge ss.
 Accordingly Jaisingrao Gaikwar, ls years old. elder son of the Rajah, is now tn- stalled in a sumptuous suite or rooms III upper Westmorely court, one or the most exclusive "outside' dormitories,
 The heir to an annual Income .of slz'- GOO. 600. Prince Gaikwar, as he Is knoWn' asserts his democracy by comparati'eiy modest scof1ege existence and-a attitude of good fellowship which has aireaoy made him popular among Harvard men,
 Among the many heirs to vast fortunes who have attended Harvard the future Ratah of Gaikwar can probably boast of the most fabuloisly' wealthy father.
 Today the Maharajah's public revenues reach a total of ss,Ooo,ooo year. while ms nrfvate resources are said to bring nm az much more. a" ' ~"
 The education of the young ruler to American ways is but, step in the revolution of the Baroda state. ~
 Rorn of race which once delighted in most. inhuman cruelty, the Gaikwar or Baroda, now seeks to give his people the best that modern civilization of the, west has to offer. He comes from fighting an cestry. being a descendant of that great Mahratta soldier, Damaji Gaikwar. HIS title Shamsher Behadur, was won by that warrior at the battle of Bellapore, at the end of the seventeenth century. when the, imperial. armyref Delhi was defeated The title was conferred by .the Shahu Rata of Satara in admiration of his bravery.

 while Prince Jaisingrao has number of valuable diamond pins and some of the royal jewelry with him at Harvard be dresses modestly, seldom appearing with more than single teweled scarf 
 do not appear to be more. extrayasant than those of many students of modest means. :" sN- -A -''f
 He is fond of the theatre and of' the usual freshman amusements. but never allows pleasure to interfere with his col lese sstudies.a4. ..e- @f.a ua o 5
 He declares that American. prosperity Is the result of one of the most equitable forms of government in the world, and he hints that the future progress of Ba- roda will owe much to the example. which is held up by this country. -.--
 While the Prince could have half a dozen automobiles at-his command and enjoy the mosts sumptuous luxuries ever c6hceived by college student. he is en- tirely averse to things of that sort.
 Every morning at g. o'clock he rolls out ofsbed in very plebian manner and ducks into his bath in a scramble to reach the lecture room before roll call.
 College be likes. He says that he en- joys 1t as much as anyone else, and from the large number of friends that he has already acquired 1t is safe to say that the Prince IS liked by the college.

 His preparatory studies in America a' tho Horace Mann school in New York' and his experiences at Harvard have ai- fsady transformed the Prince into typi- cal college youth, whose fluent English and general manner of attire and speech are not greatly different from those of .-ff 5Tf ita ll H ti4. at--#f aaaa4 Americans
