SENTIMENTAL PROFESSOR

I
A certain rental box at the Stanford
university branch post office now has
new tenant" for the first time in 43
years. In 1891 when the late John Ezra
Mcdowell registered at Stanford as a
freshman he rented that box, and in
his successive roles as undergraduate,
alumnus, assistant registrar, alumni sec
retary, dean of men and faculty academ-
ic secretary, he kept that same box.
When he assumed his executive positions
and his mail became too voluminous to
be accommodated in so small niche, he
rented larger box, but for sentiments
sake, kept also the one he had engaged
upon his arrival on the campus the first
time in 1895.

MAKE YOUR OWN FUTURE

(Marysville Appeal-Democrat)
Henry Ford, who has lived, progress
ed and prospered since that youthful
day when he lifted himself by the boot
straps of his own industry from the la
Dor of a machine shop to a position of
vast wealth and power, celebrated his
18th birthday anniversary on Saturday,
and he looked up no astrological tom
foolery upon which to base horoscope
from which to draw encouragements for
his future. Henry Ford understands that
there is no future he does not make for
himself, at least through his contribu-
ton to the health and prosperity of
mankind. The future is not tomorrow for
there is no tomorrow in his credo. Today
is the future and as each new today ar
rives advancement, comes, to the person
and nation in proportion to the perfor-
nance of this today. So Henry Ford sees
Americas most prosperous period ahead.
Today's achievements presage the ac-
complishments of the other days for
the Fords of the land. Only those who
let today pass as they idly await some
distant future, are deluded by the mirage
of Santa Claus bringing all things to
all men. The Henry Fords are their
own Santa Claus.
