a Busy Man Is Francis B. Sayre

The "B" in his name stands for BLUSH"
Most persons who had done what Sayre so
quietly has accomplished in so short time would
blush only If nothing said about it.
So long as you do not try to compliment Mr..
Sayre the "B" in his name stands for Busy"
Do you like to hear of young fellows getting
ahead?
The "B" in his name stands for Budding"
Because, of course, man who has done and is
continuing to do the number Of important things
that young Mr.. Sayre is throwing himself at, with
the nimbleness of a trained athlete, can be re-
ferred to truthfully only as being In the budding
stage.
An assistant to the president, Mr.. Sayre's work
has been more or less unobserved by the student
body Students have a lot of things TO think
about, as a rule Sometimes the folks at home
become careless about sending larger remittances
when requested to have the check there at GER
tain day ANY quantity of matters can come up
to obscure from the student body, for large pro-
portion of the day at least, the value OF any work
done by an assistant to the president
Let the assistant be of the temperament OF Mr..
Sayre who encourages every one TO overlook MI
Savrcs part in the performance, and 1t is easy TO
understand that unless something is done about
T. unless some interviewer who will not be turned
aside by bushes takes the matter in hand, Mr..
Sayre might get away with 1t; that is, continue
TO enjoy the quietude he seeks while putting over
any number of valuable aids to happiness and Ell
fcency among men,
m. foIlow,np facts have been obtained from
unimpeachabe sources:
All those who are glad to realize that IL Is pos
sible to do more than one thing at time, and do
all Of them we'll, will please note that Mr.. sayre,
J,,tio has hppn
assistance in the matter of the 100000 endow-
ment fund.
In the spring and fall Of last year he jumped
into IN. campaign He made an extended tour, al
most az extended as his father-in-law may make
in 1915. and he got in touch with the various
alumni associations.
Touch is right
Mr. Sayre had no sooner returned 10 Williams
before the Young Mems Christian Association ielt
Il John B. Gibson, 10, general secretary oil the
association, saw Ssyre, and together they estao-
lisb.d the Williams College Employment Ex-

Take the work being done by hr' oayfe
just in this one field.

digestion and staying power, and therefore IL
