Fellow Students. think have a
perfect right to- say fellow students,
because have found it necessary to
continue to be a student. You will
find all through life the necessity OF
being a student. l was back to my
Alma Mater few years ago, and my
Latin professor said, "What study do
YOU find has been of greatest benefit
to you through life?" l answered
"Those studies that have tendency
to develop judgment in solving the
problems of life, the spirit of aggres-
siveness, regardless Of what might be
the cost or anything else"

want to talk to you about build
ing character. There is vast differ
ence between character and reputa-
ton. Reputation is what people
think of you; character is what you
really are; what you know yourself
to be and what people who know you
best know you are, and what He, who
knows all things, knows about you.
One must have a certain degree of
popularity before he can have influ-
ence. The more largely we are known
as a person of character, the more IA
vorably we are known and the more
influence we have. Now then we want
to talk about character. How to de-
velop it. If character is made it must
be builded. 1t does not come to us by
inheritance. | does not drop out of the
sky. Be on the job Of building it all

lost--lost in short time, and builded
in not so short time. The person to
build your character is you, yourself.

BUSINESS UNIVERSITY NOTES

President Moothart has just receiv-
ed another call for a high-grade young
man stenographer to become private
secretary to the superintendent of an
important railroad, head quarters al
San Antonio, Texas. The position
pays $50 a month to start with, and
is one of those kind of vacancies hard
to fill, because our young men who
have the ability to fill these places
are usually drawing better salary,
hence l must again report to the SUI
perintendent my inability to send a
young man to take this very desira-
BILE position. In fact, this has been the
kind of letters we have sent to num-
Der of superintendent of railroads
during the past few months. Why is
it that young men do not flock into
the Business College and get ready
for these positions This is only one
of number of this kind of positions
offered to US this year, to say nothing
of those constantly offered by the
commercial office world.
Rev. Mitchell, pastor of the M. E.
church, delivered a very forceful and
appropriate address to the student
body last Thursday afternoon, basing
his remarks on reputation and char
acter, emphasizing the latter. Bro.
Mitchell's remarks were well received
by all present.
Prof. w. E. Turley, one of our hon
or graduates, has written us that on
the 10th of January he was promoted
to the principalship of the South Side
Browns Business College Of st. Louis.
This is indeed special recognition
of merit and worth, and as teachers
of his we join with all friends in con-
gratulations to him on this special
merited recognition, and bespeak a
successful future in the commercial
cOllege WORK.
Final examinations were held in a
few subjects last Thursday and Fri
day. The following students receiv-
ed first and second honors respective
ly: Spelling, William O'Sullivan,
first; Augusta Lawrence and Carroll
Phillips, second. Penmanship; Miss
Mamie Wheeler and VIM. Kendall,
first honors. Arithmetic: William
o'Sullivan, first, with William Cook
and Clarence Hoffman, second. Bus
