One student is a member of a city orchestra, earning twelve dollars a week.

A few serve in the university postoffice, and receive twenty cents an hour.
A representative American college president recently said: "I regard it as, on the whole, a distinct advantage that a student should have to pay his own way in part as a condition of obtaining a college education.

It gives a reality and vigor to one's work which is less likely to be obtained by those who are carried through college.

I do not regard it, however, as desirable that one should have to work his own way entirely, as the tax upon strength and time is likely to be such as to interfere with scholarship and to undermine health." Circumstances have rarely favored great men.

A lowly beginning is no bar to a great career.
