Value of a Technical
* College Education
A young man can make no belter investment than in a technical
education. Viewed merely as a matter oi' business, even if he has to
borrow the money at interest, he will find that his increased earning
capacity will perhaps even the first year after graduation be sufficient to
Financial Support
Clemson College is founded on a covenant with the agricultural
people. Back in the '80's, tho advocates of Agricultural and Industrial
Education promised that if given the tax of 25c per ton on tho
commercial fertilizers sold in the State, tho Trustees would organize
not only an efficient system of inspection and analysis to protect the
farmers from Imposition in tho purchase of their main commodity,
but with what remained after paying the cost of this protection, would
I build and operate a College. During the history of the College, the tag
tax has averaged $110,24 7.62. For the past three fiscal years it has
^^tveraged $238,9 58.02. The Legislature of South Carolina makes no
appropriation,for Clemson College.
In addition to the fertilizer tax, the College receives from the Federal
Treasurer $2 5,000 annually, and a small amount comes from tuition
and interest on the Clemson and Landscript Funds. The South
Carolina Experiment Station is supported entiroly by funds from the
U. S. Department of Agriculture, and has no part In the College work.

rojmy the loan. It is a poor business policy to wait to earn the money
necessary to pay for an education with an earning!: capacity only one-half
or one-third that of an educated man.. Every year of untrained, uneducated
labor represents a direct financial loss. Every boy of ability and
ambition whose parents are unable to pay for his education should get
some friend to indorse ids note at the bank and begin preparation that
will make for greater earning capacity and a fuller life. There is no time
to lose. The world is looking for 1,000 horsepower men and is willing to
pay for tliem. Already there is a surplus of the one horsepower variety.
A College education is 110 longer a luxury of tlie rich, but more a
necessity of (lie poor boy whose parents can give him little or nothing to
start on. In earning capacity, a College education represents at the outset
a capital of from $15,000 to $30,000, depending upon the energy,
character and personality of the i>osscssor, and the capital increases with
every year of its ellieicnt use.
A College diploma has come to be regarded by the business world not
so much as an evidence of knowledge as evidence that the graduate possesses
and is trained in those qualities of ability, industry, ambition and
character that are likely to make for success.
There never was a time in the history of the world when expert
knowledge was so much in demand, so indispensable to individual success,
and so highly compensated. FOR Til 10 UNTRAINED WAIT THE POSI- it

Imilar institution, can a young man obtain an education second to none,
f lie be seeking an education that will prepare him for self-sustaining,
elf-respecting citizenship.
Clemsons Public Service
Out of the fertilizer tax only about $130,000 la expended upon the
College. Nearly $100,000 annually represents tho cost of public servico
rendered to the farmers. This public work includes not only the
fertilizer inspection and analysis, but veterinary and entomological inspection,
cattle tick and hog cholera eradication, branch experiment
stations, scholarships, cooperative experiments, extension and demonstration
work, etc. The Collego officers write nearly 35,000 letters
every year giving specific Information, and send out nearly half a
million bulletins and circulars.
A higher standard for commercial fertilizers is maintained in South
Carolina than in any other Southern State. The Inspection and analysis
carried on by the College Insures tho attainment of that standard.
The farmer, even If ho and not the manufacturer pays the tax of 25c
per ton, gets value received many times over In the increased value
of his fertilizers. In addition, a great Agricultural and Mechanical
College has* been built up worth over a million and a third dollars,
enrolling annually nearly 850 young inon, and demanding no appropriations
from tho State Treasury for its support.
