Suggestions to New Co-EdS
Warn of DrudgeTy
Without Results.

Esi Times Special
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Aug. %
In the 1880 freshman handbook
which IS being sent to all women
students who will enter Indiana
university for the first time this fall,
President w. L. Bryan Of the uni
verSity has the following message
for new co-eds:
Almost every one of you begins
his life occupation with some habits
Of work which are slow, ineffective
and waSteful. You have mental
habits analogous TO the child trick
Of counting upon your fingers, in
stead Of using the far swifter tables
of arithmetic. You have habits
analogous to digging out sentences
with dictionary and grammar, in
stead of having gained free power
to read. You have habits such "a
letting part of your mind wander
at play while the rest is pretending
to work. You have habits such as
working with the hurry and hustle
Of ants, without foresight, without
plan. If you have such habits OF
work as these and try to go through
life with them. you can never be a
master workman. You may labor
and sweat, but your years of effort
will leave you an ineffective drudge
I counsel you to take stock of your
bad HABITS of work, and be rid Of
them"
The Handbook is dedicated to the
women Of the class of 1924. and il
