Fannie Hurst received her degree from the University in 1909 and, since that time, she has done much in the field of literature. Not satisfied with merely writing interesting stor¬ ies. she has served in various capacities, such as saleswom¬ an, waitress and the like, in order to obtain a more sym¬ pathetic viewpoint As a re¬ sult, her work is known for its human and realistic ele¬ ments. Fannie Hurst, A.B., ’09 (Mrs. Jacques Danielson) HE question of the intrinsic value of college education is constantly up before the tribunal of public opinion. Do college men and women excel at the business of life? Is the college bred individual a success? Do four years of university training pay? My convictions average up on the “Yes” side.

M WOULD advise young graduates about to enter the lists of the world’s workers to secure, if possible, contact with a great personality. It is wonderful what effect such influ¬ ences have in moulding one’s character. It is a pity that we often do not realize our obligations to these men at the time. After having been ground for a while in the mill of experi¬ ence, I happened to meet an old class-mate, while passing through St. Louis, and suggested that we give a dinner to Professor Woodward and tell him that he was the greatest teacher in the world. He replied: “What’s the use? lie knows it.” That seemed sufficient, but I then realized that I had not known it until I had applied in practice those principles which his homely illustrations had fixed in my mind. So it has been with other great personalities to whom l am like¬ wise indebted.
