Value of a College Education There was never a time when expert knowledge was so highly prized and so highly compensated. High wages for untrained labor will tempt many a young man to discount the value of a col lege education. But such an education, represent ing |the work of four years, viewed merely as an investment of time and money, is equal in earn ing capacity to an estate of more than $50,000. What estate comparable with this can the par ent of average means hope to give or leave to his son? What young man can acquire that much value in the same,time at any other business? Education fits one for a life whose possibilities are limited only by his capacity and character. Eventually for the untrained there awaits the slavery of ignorant and .undirected effort. Ciemson College brings within the reach of every young man in South Carolina the benefits and possibilities of a technical education. At Ciemson College a boy from the humblest home in South Carolina can prepare himself for a high place in the service o~ his state and nation. W. M. RIGGS, President.
