UNDERGRADUATE SELF-SUPPORT.
A detailed summary is given else-
where in this issue of the various means
for self-support which Yale offers to
students of limited means. These facts
show an encouraging and healthy state
of affairs in the University, and one
which leads to several interesting con-
clusions. They prove first and fore-
most that no man with push and deter-
mination need ever forego a college
education solely on account of financial
reasons. The field for work here is a
wide one, wide enough to offer some-
thing to men of every capacity. It is
also constantly broadening despite the
fact that a larger number of them are
called upon each year to meet their own
expenses.
A careful consideration reveals also
that in most cases students can con-
tinue along the same lines of support
which they employed before entering
College. Ifa man has had experience
in teaching, he will naturally look to
tutoring or to the evening schools; if he
has done work of a business or clerical
nature, to the more distinctively student
enterprises. Indeed, there are very few
kinds of remunerative work which can-
not be adapted in one way or another
to College life.
But although the University may con-
gratulate itself on its present oppor-
tunities, there are yet many things
which remain to be done’ for those
whose means are limited. The lack
to-day is not so much in the line of
scholarships or loan funds which are
bestowed gratuitously. Inthe great ma-
jority of cases it is far better for the
man himself, that he make some return
for. what he receives, even if it be but
slight. Any contrivances, therefore,
which tend to reduce the necessary ex-
penses and minimize those which are
unnecessary, call for careful considera-
tion.
The Co-op. the Loan Library and
Commons are all important factors
toward this end. As regards board,
however, there is a constant demand
among the poorer men for a cheaper
place than Commons, a place where
one pays merely for what he orders,
and gets his dishes at cost. It might
well be run in connection with the pre-
sent Dining Hall. By this means a
man could live very economically, if he
was willing to confine himself to plain
food, as many would gladly do.
The Co-op. fills a valuable position in
furnishing student supplies at reduced
'’. Ate AO eee
prices, but as yet no provision has been
made to meet one of the heaviest ex-
penses which those in an entering class
are called upon to meet— that for room
furniture. Every year at Commence-
ment time, beds, desks, and numerous
articles of the same sort are sold at a
sacrifice to reappear again in the Fall
at greatly advanced prices. A Loan
Furniture Association which buys up
second-hand articles, and loans them
at a slight charge for rent, has proved
successful at some Colleges. If a fund
could be raised large enough to start
such an organization, the money turned
in for rent, together with contributions
of furniture which many students would
make at graduation, wotld be amply
sufficient to insure the continuance of
the plan.
A word also regarding the Andrews
Loan Library. Its size might be
greatly increased, and its usefulness ex-
tended, if the University Librarian was
in a position to purchase, at the end of
the term the standard text-books that
have been used in the courses, profit on
which now goes to a thriving colony
of second-hand book dealers. Many
students would be willing to give out-
right, others to sell for a small price,
if there was a systematic visitation of
the dormitory rooms each year. Cannot
plans be perfected to assist worthy stu-
dents through some such channels as
these?
+
THE FOOTBALL CAPTAIN.
The University is to be congratulated
on having a man to take charge of its
football interests next Fall, whose
thorough knowledge of the game,
brilliant individual work and _ strong
personality eminently qualify him for.
the duties of a captain. Mr. Chamber-
lin has played the same steady and con-
sistent game ever since he has been a
member of Yale’s football squad, and
has already gained the complete con-
fidence of students and alumni. He
will enter upon next season’s work with |
the hearty support of every member
of the University.

THE BELGIUM ‘SOFT.’’
The Hat-Makers of Belgium have at-
tained eminence among their fellow crafts-
men in other countries through the manu-
facture of a peculiarly flexible soft felt hat.
Sensible of the serviceable qualities and
intrinsic worth of these hats, and of the
immense sale found for them in England
and on the continent, American manufactu-
rers have still found it impossible to duplicate
them successfully without exceeding the cost
- of importation of the finished foreign product.
While thoroughly appreciating that the
“tariff” argument has been so generally used
of late as to have exhausted the reasonable
force of its logic, Messrs. Brooks & Company
nevertheless beg to state that in the event of
further importations of soft felt hats similar
to the above, they will be obliged to ask for
them a sum in excess of the price at which
they are now being sold,—owing to the in-
creased duty enforced by a higher tariff.
Mail Orders receive prompt attention.
