Mr. Voelker, President of Olivett
College, gave the pupils of the high
school very interesting talk Monday
afternoon, telling the value of col
lege life, and the disadvantages in
this life if we do not have one. This
fact was made very clear, and the
pupils were all willing to agree with
him that people first enter small
college before entering a large col
lege as the smaller one could pay
more attention to the individual,
while the larger one could not do this
as there were too many to give at
tention to each one separately.
