For ten years Bill stiuggled at the Due West graded school, but at length his course there was completed. Then he was ready lo enter Erskine. but not as a green Rat. for his whole life had been spent in the very shadow of the college buildings. After two years here he decided that Furman was the one school in the State for him. Although he has been with us for only two years, he has succeeded in adapting himself to our life perfectly. Bill has not yet announced what he intends to do. but it is thought by those who know him best that he will settle in a little bungalow—a cottage just for two.

He entered Furman in the fall of ’17. but when the war came on Higgins was recommended for an officers’ training camp by Col. F. N. K. Bailey. The first two months of his premliminary training was given him at Camp Sevier, but from there he proceeded to Camp Gordon, where he became a Lieutenant.
