WHY GO TO COLLEGE
BIZ Rose Wheeler
There are many reasons why ever,
one with intelligence should. attend
college if it is possible. One Of thu
most important reasons, the one tina
I believe the average individual j:
most interested in, is that college
man has far greater earning capac
ity, one with far greater range, thar
the uneducated man.
The college trained man learns to
work with his head instead of hi:
bands. He is able to choose an oc-
cupation that he is we'll suited TO
one that he enjoys. Going to college
is a great asset socially. An individ.
ual becomes acquainted with super.
icr class of people, and learns to meet
them on an equal standing. A college
man or woman can understand and
enjoy many interesting things the av-
erage, individual cannot He is inter
ested in science, and in economic
problems. He is able to understand
the government better, and he is
able to Judge which laws would be
the best. He is better able to judge
who would make the best public
officials. He understands world
affairs. and knows more about what
is going on than the average man
who thinks only what the news
papers tell him to think.
Therefore think that to go to
college benefits the individual, his
country, ard humanity as whole
WHY GO TO REED COLLEGE
By Annie Lon, O'Larey
At Reed one has an opportunity
to come into close personal contact
with some Of the great minds of the
scholastic world. Even better thar
that is the contact with some of the
big and new ideas of the day This
is college known all over the ccun-
try for the fine experiments it is con-
~
One can make real friends Of men
and women who are nationally fam
Gus. Leaders Of important move
rnents are always willing to STOP
off for a little while at Reed fol
they are sure of an intelligent and
interesting audience, provided they
(the leaders) are sincere. Portland
is a great musical center and sooner
or later all the great artists CONF
here; Reed students are usually given
rebate on their tickets. Democra-
cy rules and there are no secret So
cieties. Every one is equally mem
Der of the family" There are no
binding rules and what there are we
make ourselves; no faculty super
vision; no police system. Everyone
whose credentials are accepted is Civ
en- credit with being reasoning and
an honorable man or woman. To
live we'll, to respect the ideas and
ideals of others, and to be able to
make an intelligent decision on any
question, is the ideal that is constantly
before one. Greatest honors go to
the student who plays as well as he
studies and who studies as we'll as he
takes part in social life. Anyone who
comes to Reed can feel that he or she
is taking an active part in the youth
movement that is going on in the
world to-day.
