THE STORY OF A UNIVERSITY
BOY.
“1 entered the University of Tex-
as in September, 1897, without a
dollar of my own..so far as I can
remember. My fattier’s nil health
had made it impossible ford me to
expect help from him beyond my
High School course, and all hough I
had for some time had hopes of
some day entering college, they
wen* of the vaguest sort, when one
day in the spring of 1897 President
Winston, in a talk before our schoi
told of the. opportunity to pay ex-
penses while at college by various
kinds of work. He closed his re-
marks by saying very emphal ically
that, no one need stay away from t.l
University of Texas because of lack
of funds.
Taking him at his word, on the
advice of my parents, 1 wrote to
the President to inquire what he
could do for me. He finally wrote
me of a place where I could pay.*
for my room and board by taking
charge of some horses and cows an
doing odd chores for an efderlv wo
man living on the outskirts of town
I had never milked a <ow, hut in
the two or three days before I had
to start for Austin 1 learned how.
To provide foe my matriculation
fee and library deposit and to buy
the necessary books and other e-
quipment, I borrowed forty dollars
from an uncle. Thai is a|| lhe
I can remember ha\ mg I hat
year?
The follow ing summer I remaine,
m Austin in order to retain my
position though I did not earn any
cash.
Upon returning after Christmas
vacation in my sophomore year, I
learned to my dismay that my p|ac
hat) lieeu given Io a nephew of my
employer, but I found similar em-
ployment at a better place. There
I remained until the end of my
Senior year. During my Sophomor
year I received from home about**
thirty dollars, enough for necessary
expenses.
During my Junior vear, l> *id**s
my rega *ir . mp|oym**nl, 1 <:* I >*>*m*
tutoring which brought in a |ilt|e
cash to meet my actual needs. That
summer I earned some money cut
ling weeds on th<* campus and latei
got a job in a planing mill.
I My Senior year brought me
more tutoring . I also acted as
clerk m the Co-operaati\e Book -
store. At the end of the year I wa
olferd a fellowship, so that I was
able Io i\e up lhe work that’ I had
been dong for my roomi ami board.
This fellowship paid all my expen-
ses during my y<*ar of postgrad-
uate w ork.
During all Illis time «»f course I
had Io practice the strictest <sm>u
omy, but I had managed to In* very
comfortable without gvtling o\**r a
hundred dollars from outside sour-
ces. Besides, my oulsid'* duties,
though they kept me from taking
part m athletics, did not interfere
with my studies, for when a chap-
ter of Phi Bela Kappa was insla|le<
three years after I had left the Um
vrsity. I was leecled a member. A-
an under graduate I sometimes re-
gretted that lack of funds preven-
ted my having much share in the
social life of the students. Yet 1
did have my friends, and I <!<• not
think, that I became a grind.
Since leaving the University of
Texas, I have hail three years of
study at Harvard, obtaining the de-
gree of Ph. I»., and I now am \s
sistant Professor at one of the fore
most universities in the East.”
