LESSONS PROM THE WAR The recent war has taught us that the greatest investment a young man can make is the securing of a college education. It was the college young maa who went to the officers’ training camp and returned with a commission; it was the college young *man who was rapidly promoted and 1 ftlled the difficult and responsible places in the conduct of the war; it was the college man who was called to organize the great benevolent war movements, such as the Red Cross and the*A-, M. C. A. It was the college young man who, even though he entered the army as a private, was soon singled out and made corporal, then sergeant, then placed in some responsible position held by a non-commissioned officer and finally received a commission. ^ LESSONS FROM THE BUSINESS WORLD . i j_ _________ Education pays not only during war, but it pays just as handsomely in times of peace. Here are some facts taken from a little pamphlet entitled “The Value of An Education,” by Dr. Carl Van Winkle: “Salaries in the New York Bridge Department: In positions demanding only read ing, writing and arithmetic, $982.00; in positions demanding high school and commercial courses, $1,729.00; in positions demanding high school and two or three years of. college or technical education, $2,400.00.” Here are some of the results’obtained by the Western Electric Co. dur ing a period of ten years: “Men who made good without a college edu cation, 10 per cent.; men who failed without a college education 90 per cent.; men who made good with a college education, 90 per cent; men who failed with a college education 10 per cent.” Mr. Carnegie says: “The business men of America have at last come to realize that a college education has a commercial value.” Mr. Chauncey M. Depew says: “Hundreds of college men have begun in these last years at the Bottom in railroad work and have soon distanced the uneducated boy and man.” ‘ , • LESSONS FROM THE PROFESSIONAL WORLD If education pays in war and business, it becomes absolutely neces sary in the professional world. Our great lawyers, doctors, preachers, inventors, discoverers, writers are practically all college men. It used to be thought by many that politics was left for men of but moderate education, but by studying the lives of our public men at the present time we find that even the field of politics has been closed to the uneducated, and is being dominated by the college man. At the present time the President, Vice-President, Speaker of the House, all but two of the Cabi- rarMyiiibcrs,'69'out uf~ 96 Senators, 305 oufr-of-435 Representatives and The Courses Offered by the College are as Follows: English Latin Greek French German Chemistry Hhysia. all of the Justices of the Supreme Court are college trained men.

They have been carefully selected not only with reference to their scholarslyp and teaching ability, but also with reference to their standing as Christian Of 1,000,000 with college; education 5,768 attained distinction. * * WHAT COLLEGE SHALL I ATTEND? Having decided definitely to attend college, the next important ques tion to decide is, “What college shall I attend?” In settling this question . there are several things about a college you will ftaturally want to know. Some of them are as follows: 1. Location; 2. Standard; 3. Faculty; 4. Equipment; 5. How the diploma is recognized by our best universities;. 6. Athletics; 7. Expenses; 8. Military Training. Let us answer these questions in behalf of the gentlemen. 4. Equipment: One of the most attractive features about the College is its excellent equipment. Fortunately, the College has no old buildings, unfit for college use, but too good to be torn down. * All the buildings on the Campus are practically new. The dormitories are modern and well arranged, equipped with all modern conveniences, such as steam heat, toilets, hot and cold water, etc. The College buildings are heated froln a central heating plant. The College has a campus of 35 acres, and has on it now over $200,000 worth of buildings. 5. Diplomas: Our diplomas are accepted by the leading universi ties of America. Our students have not only been accepted in these uni- PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE OF SOUTH CAROLINA 1.

Standard: When inquiring into the standard of a college, there p U t j n charge of a department. No student need enter our college with are two things we want,to know: First, entrance requirements; and sec-1 the fear that after he graduates his diploma will not receive proper ond, the class of work done by the college. The entrance requirements of the Presbyterian College of South Carolina are 14 units for uncon ditional entrance. Two conditional units are allowed at the present time. The entrance requirements will probably be raised to 15 units next year. The College courses have been thoroughly organized in every de partment and brought up to the requirements of our be|t institutions. Students will find in the broad and varied curriculum courses which will prepare them for any field of activity they may choose to enter.

Those desiring to study Engineering will find this field provided for in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. Can- expecting to teach will find courses given in Pedagogy. recognition. 6. Athletics: Anyone who has kept “up with college athletics dur ing the past four or five years has been^mpressed with the wonderful record P. C. has made in this line of college activities. Strong teams in foot-ball, basket-ball and base-ball are put out every year. Last fall only two games of foot ball were played and P. C. won both. The year before that, the College won from every college in the State with the exception of Clemson, and the record for the previous years has been practically as good. A base-ball team was not put out last spring on account of the war, but the year before, out of twelve games the College lost only two. The basket-ball team* has always made a fine record. Mr. Walter A. Johnson lias been our coach and physical director for the past three years.
