WHY QO TO COLLEGE?
You often hear it asked, should
a young man or woman go to col
lege? Now-a-days the thing of
going to college or not is in the
air. We hear it discussed a great
deal and hear many arguments

both for and against a college
course. As to the propriety of it
let it be said that it all depends on
so many circumstances that a di
rect answer is impossible. That
every yonng man or woman should
go to college is just as nonsieal as
that no one should go at all. Real
genius is independent of all con
ditions, and hence some of the
world’s greatest men never enter
ed a college door. Such was the
case of Abraham Lincoln. It al
ways seems to us that a college ed
ucation would have spoiled him
and crippled his race genius. But
all such men have a training of
some kind and equal to a college
education.
But on the other band all other
things being equal, a college edu
cation is necessarily of great value.
The college cannot change the
nature of men or women. If they
go into college as impracticbles
they will as a Jrule come out the
same. A college develops, but
does not create. It is an artificial
institution and not a supernatural
one. The question of going to
college or not can only be solved
by knowing the man or woman,
the college and the circumstances
incident to the case. Here, as in
all cases, every tub must stand on
its own bottom. Individuality
must be consulted. Many persons
will not take an education any
more than some coarse rough
stones will not take a polish. To
attempt to educate them is to
throw away time and money. It is
to encourage false ambitions and
to breed disappointments. On tjj
contrary, supposing the possession
of a good mind and character,
there is nothing that can add to
its power and usefulness like a col
lege education. Here the mind is
taught to work. The foundation
may be laid for all future growth
and development. A college ed
ucation of the right kind and in
the care of the right person is cap
ital invested and well invested. It
is not simply a money investment
but also a mind and heart invest
ment and brings pleasure and en
joyment to all the subsequant life.
Hence go to college, if at all pos.
sible.
When a man pursuing the daily
peaceful avocations of life goes
around with a revolver on his per
son, it is prima facie evidence
that he is either a fool or a crimi
nal, and in either ease he ought to
be locked up.
