The College Man in Business. The business interests of our country are today greatly diversihed. The demand for men of intelligence and education was never greater than at the present time. In every vocation we find keen competition, thus requiring men of ability to grapple and solve the problems continually arising. This very fact calls for trained men whose qualifications enable them to understand and meet conditions that may confront them. lt follows as an axiomatic truth that men must be educated to accomplish the most successful results. The college man comes into active business with superior equipmentg trained to reason, to discriminate, to examine and Weigh matters in their true relations. He is often able to analyze and master details and get a comprehensive View of business which would be impossible without his college training. We recognize that men of limited education have been very successful and in rare cases have attained the highest positions, but these are men of untiring energy, who fought obstacles and attainedlsuccess over great odds. No man can succeed without the common principles of honesty, integrity, and industry. the man who is properly trained at college will in every stage of life outclass the other man of equal ability who has not had this advantage. How often have We known men of sterling worth and fine judgment to take secondary places, just simply because other men equal to them in these respects have had the college training, which enabled them to handle business propositions more promptly, intelligently and in such a manner as to command confidence and respect. - ' ' The true college man is ennobled, elevated and qualified for success in any position in life. All over our country we find them attaining the best and highest places of trust. XV hat an inspiration this should be to our young men to overcome every obstacle to get an education. It is a sad mistake to think for one moment that a business man can neglect ,the college training. It ennobles his life, gives a broader conception of duty, opens possibilities for advancement and generally has had a beneficent infiuence on his fellow man. E. W. GRANT. 20

, The College Man in College Work. 'Westminster alumni have carried her methods, her spirit, her influence, to many another place of learning. Not only her own sons, but others thus have benehted by her lofty aims, her strong training, her steadfast adherence to that which is best and noblest in the training of young men. McAfee, the far-seeing founder of Park College, by his lofty philanthropy has brought countless blessings to thousands of fine young men and women. Hersman, whose accurate and profound learning would be an honor to any European University, not only wielded an intellectual influence of depth and power for years in Westminster, but has for the years since he left our halls followed the same high plane of instruction in other institutions. Scott, in our walls, has perpetuated and strengthened the powerful influence which high intellectual training alone can give, .till it is safe to say that no college in onr land can present it superior. Dobyns in his work for the deaf has continued the work on the same high level which has always been Westmin- ster's ideal. Vaughn and Christian are samples of that same strength, those same fine, sound methods, carried into public schools. And this would fail to tell of all the rest, Cowan, still with us, Ayres, in Lindenwood, Bradley, in Blackburn, Dyer, in St. Louis, Evans, in Texas College for VVomen, Foreman, in Hannibal, Hinitt, in Central University, jones, in Missouri State University, Mcljheeters, in Germany, Marquess, in Louisville Theological Seminary, Millar, in the City of Mexico, in a Seminary, also, Quarles, in VVashington and Lee, Reaser, in Wilsoii College for 'Womeng Travis, at Rensselaer, not to speak of some of our younger men, Collett, Brown, McChesney, McCutchan, on the foreign field, in far-away China, and many another, some not graduates, but of the same high type, everywhere and always. lt would be difhcult to measure the extent of XVestminster's influence, thus exerted. Safe to say, in no other way can her ideals be so directly per- petuated and her power so magnified, as by those of -her sons. who become themselves teachers, and develop in the men who come to them, that same character, those same ideals, those lofty principles of both education and life, which have made VVestminster's name and fame an honor to l1er sons, and a source of strength to the church which has founded, supported and still con- trolsher, for the glory of her Lord and lilllg.--:DANIEL S. iCi.XGE. 19.
