EASTERN STUDENTS
EARN A FORTUNI
Aggregate Rezeipts of Employed
Students Amounts to Nearly
$100,000.
By Donald L. Kincey.
More or less complete statistics re-
cently compiled shsow that many of the
students of the law department here are
earning their way throughs college. In
view of this fact, ansd that there are also
many students us other departments of
the university whso are dependent on
themselves, statistics from one of the
large easterin colleges msay not he out
of place at this time. These are all the
more interesting from the fact that C-
lumhia is located in New York City,
where, though the opportunities for em-
ploynsent are perhaps helter there than
anywhere else in thse country, the cost
of living is proportionately highser, and
hece employment for needy students
so much the msore necessary.
During the schsool periodof last year,
students at Columhia earised nso less thsan
$95,855. Thse ways us which they earned
money were as varied as the ailities
shsown, anid ranged frons tutoring to
chauffeuring. Thse greater portion of the
positions which yielded thec total amsount
of earnings was due, directly or indi-
rectly, to the activities of the commnittee
on employment for students, now a per-
msanent feature at Colusmhia. At thse
suggestion of President Low in 1895,
the university coumcil appointed this
commsittee, and the first year its efforts
brousghst is sonseswhat over $2,ow. Last
year thse amount reported as senug
earnetd directly throtsgh thle aid of the
commnittee was $28,766.15, or soore than
fourteen times as much as in the first
year. The money earned hy students
who dlut not report to the conmmittee
is more or less the result of its work,
sowever, for a great soassy of thse posi-
tions have heconse hereditary, one s-
denst passissg his positions down to a
friend, swithsout reportisng to the commit-
tee that msighst have originally securetd

Bust thme smost isnteresting tphase of this

eessslts obtained frosm ass investigations,
msadte into thse records of all stusdensts
Isho had applied to the comnmsittee for
wvork durinsg the year. Using ass equal
Iluisuer of usnesmployed stuidessts, chosen

at random, tle investigation showed
that the employed students had a slightly
higher average than the unemployed.
Conversation with the men showed that
outside work forces them to more in-
tense application in the preparation of
their college work. ."In other words,"
says the report, "the higher marks mya
represent harder intellectual work, but
not necessarily stronger intellectuality."
A second investigation, made in the
first-year class of the law department,
showed that the unemsployed and em-
ployed students had about the same
average.
Besides fisding work for the needy
studests, the committee is also ale to
secure for them free medical advice
rons the best specialists in the city. The
studensl go to the private offies of the
physicians and receive the same alen-
ions afforded the wealthy patiest.

UNIVERSITY IS NOT
WITtIOUT ITS POETS
Profs. Scott and Kirk Among
Others Have Wooed the Muse
$100 Prize for Best Poem.
Perhaps the most striking thing about
college verse is that in most cases it
is the work of people who are ot poets.
To anyone who picks uap for the most
cassa glance a collection of real collegc
rhymes, it is at once evidest that us
very few of them is there any atempt
at anything beyond hmsorous jisglissg.
This is naturally the reasons 'hy college
verse is so very plesstifu, for poets are
as scarce in college as they are asy-
where. But if there is amie wes.
most meis are poetic in sosse degree, it
is isnjmust that period of yoathsumnally
spent in chasing phantosms of learning
arousid a tradiion-worns cmpnus. So we
have ini every university a fesw poets, a
great massysear-poets, and numsbserless
rtyiners. Any college man wo thinks
thsat tsr has the slightest degree of liter-
ary ability cosiders tteswriting of
poetry as quite within the sphere of his
proper endeavor and does not hesitate
to sissg whsenshemis sood seizes his.
