TRIANGLE CLUB MEMBERS
HAVE FROLIC AT STAG

At Pioneer Hall on Saturday night,
February 20, postal clerks forgot all
about their intricate schemes for the
distribution of mail. The carriers
burdens were cast aside and the
chauffeur and the parcel post men
were relieved of the strain of keep
ing their foot on the gas, while sew
eral of St. Paul's best entertainers
made frolic and mirth at stag
party, of which Leon White, st. Paul
postal clerk, was the guest of honor
Mr.. White gave a toast which was
fitting and very impressive" Mr..
Taylor, who is stationed at FIT. Smell
ing, had a great deal of trouble in
deciding as to which of the Twin
Cities he belonged, but readily stated
that he was with the members of the
club in whatever they did as club.
Due to the Temperance of Cyrus l..
Lewis, who had been absent for some
time, he was given a hearty welcome
and was called upon for few words.
In brief, Mr.. Lewis mentioned his re-
gard and consideration for Mr.. White
and wished him good luck.
The evening was we'll spent and
the boys tried their hardest to have
good time, and they did, until the
wee hours of the morning began to
get large.

Uncanny Experiment

The appointment Of Joseph Bar
croft as professor of physiology at
Cambridge university, England, recalls
the fact that Professor Bancroft once
performed an experiment which at
tracted worldwide attention. He was
studying lung diseases. For one whole
week he remained in glass chamber
from which all the air was pumped
except the smallest amount required
to sustain life. Students watched in
relays day and night to see that the
small motor drawing out the vitiated
air did hot stop, for If it had stopped
even for a few minutes it would have
meant certain death to Professor Bar
croft. When the scientist emerged
from the glass chamber his body had
turned completely blue.-Pathfinder

Editor,
ST. Paul Echo,
GA Court Block.
Dear Sir:
In interest of many who 1 am sure
are anxious to know if city like st.
Paul with population of 5000 col
cred people and every other neces-
sary advantage, except a cooperative
interest which could be created with
but little effort, is it not possible to
have base ball team this year as a
source of representation and a slim
ulant to our group?
AS a mere suggestion l might say
that no better move could be foster
ed than this by the Echo staff who I
feel sure could handle the situation
much to their credit as a progressive
body, and who could be sure of the
cooperation of their people in their
effort to give st. Paul one good, fast,
snappy base ball team composed of
local talent principally.
Yours for consideration,
An Echo Booster.

GIRARD HAS ROYAL
REVENUE FROM COAL
Easily Richest Educational
Institution on Earth.

Girard college royalties on coal last
year amounted to $3,S6OO0O, says
"Girard" in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
But last year the consumers paid
about $1,000, 100000 for their anthra-
cite delivered into their coal bins.
Wiping out that royalty would be like
dipping drop from a bucket of
water.
Years ago the Girard estate stopped
spending its coal royalties. The estate
managers, which is the Board Of City
Trusts, wisely decided that coal in the
ground Is capital.
When that capital Is removed from
the earth its equivalent in dollars
must be invested to take its place.
Otherwise the estate would some day
have spent its great resource Of rev.
enue.
Coal royalties for years past have
been invested and only the interest
on that investment is spent.
Last year the value of the Girard
estate increased almost 81, 800, 900.
which inspires Walter G. Gold, a
graduate of Girard college, to give
other interesting figures.
Girard college is now, as It has
been from the beginning, the richest
educational institution on earth.
At the start of the present year the
four biggest college endowments in
the world stood in this order:
Girard-$72, 100000.
Harvard-$64,O 100000
Columbia-$56OO 100000.
Yale-$40,OOO,OO
Stephen Girard died ninety-four
years ago, and his fortune of about
100000 was the largest then in
America. More than 100000 of that
was set aside for the creation and
maintenance Of Girard college, which
the old banker directed to be built on
lines carefully set down by himself.
No other college in the world was
then worth anything near 100000.
The figures show that 1t still leads,
although enormous gains made by
Harvard and Columbia may soon re-
move Girard from first place.
This college for fatherless boys, Of
whom there are now more than fifteen
hundred students, has had a unique
record.
A Girard student Is not only edu-
Gated free Of all cost, but his food and
clothing are provided free from the
day he enters until he graduates.
Thus Girard college has sent into
the world many thousand well trained
youths and at the same time multi
piled its capital from about 100000
to more than ten times that sum.
