Clarence Hayes Sprague LARENCE HAYES SPRAGUE, Professor of Advertising at New York University, artist, lecturer, antiquarian, traveler, humorist, teacher. Men like him, women admire him, students love him. An inspiring subject for a dedicator! The orthodox biography begins at birth, but inasmuch as that occurred so long ago that Professor Sprague cannot remember any of the details, it will be sufficient to dismiss it with the statement that it occurred in the nineteenth century on Long Island some time between the equinoxes. Although he was the principal character in that momentous event, of all of the numerous interested dframatis personae he had the least to do with its arrangement or the developments which immediately followed. Like most Long Island boys, Professor Sprague entered the primary school at five, where he soon distinguished himself by an unusual ability for expression with voice, face, and hands---an ability which in later life contributed so much to his popularity as a teacher. Grammar school, high school, art school, and finally a course in New York Uni' versity, from which he was graduated in 1917, were the principal steps in his under' graduate academic training. They were uneventful, so far as published records show. Perhaps the fact that Professor Sprague had to finance himself limited somewhat his participation in those activities which students sometimes mistake for higher education. Whexi the state of his finances required that he do a job of lettering instead of particif pating in a swimming match, he consoled himself with Elbert Hubbard's philosophy of athletics, i. e., football' bears the same relation to physical training as bull fighting bears to agriculture, 4 6
