The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-06-07

has brought him the congratulations of numerous friends.
 | An interesting circumstance is connect ed with the graduation of one of the stu dents this year at the University of Penn sylvania. Herbert Steiner the son of B. Steiner, former citizen of Birmingham and at all times Birmingham's friend, made most excellent record at the Hol- ton School of Finance His parents re- side in New York city, where Mr. Steiner has made as his friends all know, a gratifying business success: but contrary to their expectations, Herbert Steiner has avowed his intention to come back to Birmingham and among the friends of his childhood and of his fathers early asso- ciates to carve out his fortune. His younger brother, who will study law, has manifested similar longing for the south and Birmingham; so it is probable that B. Steiner, who was one of the best l boosters Birmingham ever had, will be | represented by not one. but both of his | sons.
 Little Boys and Big
 l There are little boys, big boys and men who, unable to content themselves with 1 the conventional college course, have gone | back to their alma mater to other l institutions for postgraduate work in | fitting themselves for success. The fav- 1 orite preparatory school among Birming- ham people is at Lawrenceville, where this week Lee Bradley. Jr.. was graduated with the most brilliant record ever made at the school His plan is to enter Prince ton and afterward Harvard Ben Moore, Jr., and William Badham were also grad uated this spring and will enter college next fall, William going to Yale. where his brother, Henry Badham, Jr.. is grad uated making as it were, a vacancy for another Badham. Vernon Badham is also at Yale. where his brother, Robert pre- ceded him. It is said, in fact. that there will be Badham at Yale for a number of years yet. They are all splendid stu dents. Henry Gray, Jr., who has had brilliant career, completes his academic course at Yale next year. Afterward he l goes to Harvard to enter upon the study of law J. Douglass Kirkpatrick Jr.. is another Birmingham boy who is making at Yale record to be proud of.
 But to return to the younger boys. At | Lawrenceville there is Charles DeBardel- eben, Jr., in whose photograph one may trace, besides his resemblance to his mother-who was the lovely Maggie Prince-lineaments that suggest his pater- nal grandfather, the late Henry F. De- Bardeleben Charles expects, when he has finished his course-only begun this year-to enter Cornell for his final mas tery of mechanical engineering His
 
 next fall at I.awrenceville, and Prince has 1 avowed his intention to finish at Prince l ton. Others who went to IIawrenceville | this year were Henry Stratton Fowlkes, who will conclude his studies next spring; George Morris, William Henry Kettig, Jr.. Frank Nelson, Crawford Johnson. Jr., and Atwell Brown. Henry Fowlkes, At well Brown and Charles DeBardeleben will go over to New York and come home next week by water, concluding in this cheerful fashion a school year that has | had its pleasures intermingled with stern discipline. Crawford Johnson will visit in Louisville before returning home, and William Kettig in New York. These boys are all general favorites in the college set, talented socially as well as in the sv- rious phases that make up a successful 1 college career. They will later choose 1 profession and the university at which
 to pursue its study. They are now at the 1 joyous age at which nothing matters very much except jolly good time, and ath- | letics of various sorts claims them all
 If they have decided upon a profession, l few of them have taken their parents | into their confidence.
 He May Be Bishop
 One progressive and interesting young matron answered the query as to her sons plans in a characteristic way: "I once thought" she said that he would be an Episcopal bishop; he seemed just made for that.
