lDhu Baron Came to C. O. ITL Two years ago, in the Spring of 191 7. Byron Reach and Henry Hendris, cousins, graduated from High School. Byron was from a well classified school, while Henry's was not so well rated. Both Henry and Byron had fully decided to complete their education, but as to what college they should go, each had his own opinion. Ti-ua Gmcs' CLUB Byron decided without any hesitation that he would go to a university the comnig fall, though he had a junior college in his own home town giving two years of the identical work he would pursue. But it seemed to him a very silly idea to stay at home and to go to a young junior college that hadn't yet made a reputation: and besides, he wanted to be with a'big bunch where there was something doing all the time. Too, Byron's father reasoned that if his son were going to get a technical educa- tion, it would be a waste of time to allow his son to spend a year in the home college. And hence, Byron received lots of encouragement to attend a university away from home. Perfectly logical, wasn't it?

This building could r ' not be replaced today for less than sI25,000.

The T' il .i boys' and girls' halls are perfect duplicates throughout. They are beautiful three-story l li brick buildings of residence type. They look like palatial residences and have all the ll ll lg interior arrangements and conveniences of a home. The purpose is to make a home spirit i ll pervade the entire atmosphere of the buildings. li' These buildings are further unique, in that they are so planned that every room but three in each building will be a corner room and have several windows. Nearly every 'H E. room has a porch or balcony, most of them having two, and nearly all of the rooms have ill immediate access to toilet and bath. Every room has running hot and cold water. The l gg i.w,.y. rooms are large and airy, heated with steam and lighted by electricity. It will be difficult l f fri to find better accommodations for boarding students anywhere. Each building will ac- F,l,f.. commodate sixty students. U ry '- 3 ,yt ' l. 1 Ei' 'i 4.. X. .. 'V . -f'-. l,f 1. , . .ff- ftlfi' 1 ,- Vlws' i ,, 'ff-MXH wig' ma..

Then he began to think, I only lack two credits of having what Byron has, and yet I can't enter his prospective school: and I know I can skin him in any kind of work. Henry then discovered that there was a junior college at Marshall where Byron lived, only twenty miles from his home, that maintained an Academy department wherein he could absolve his deficiency of entrance requirements, and at the same time enter conditionally into the first year college class. After further investigation, he also discovered that he could begin his two year's pre- medical course as he had wished to do at a university.

' i Byron had a bully time in matriculating in a bunch of a thousand students, but p he finally did it. It was not long before Byron found out that he was a Fish -and i . what a time the boys had out of that poor Fish. But Byron decided that he would i l i I tough it out for the year anyway, and thus he began to console himself. So having 's W beenla star in athletics in the High School, he figured he would go out and demonstrate 3 ,Q I, his ability. But nothing doing for this Fish -too many professionals to work against. my In like manner the Fish was somewhat surprised to find himself disappointed in society lxj and other college activities. u Qi r , is T it u a Nil ii I 2 - .. .f' -.-.::--:':,.4.
