PLAN No. 372. A STUDENT’S WAY THROUGH COLLEGE
He was a quiet going young fellow and always had a smile but had very little to say—as a matter of fact he had no gift as a talker. I remember he had a very pretty girl at school and she had one wish and that was, for Charlie to talk more. But when it came to class work, Charlie always hit the “bull’s eye.” He knew bluff and enthusiasm did not count there but the right answer went a long way.
Charlie was without funds and could not sell, so his case seemed hopeless, but he found work which just suited him and there were few who could do it so well as he.
Professors at college and universities are always writing books, so Charlie, who could brief cases and write on law subjects almost as well as the professors, worked for a couple of these professors and made his home with them. His board was unsurpassed at the college and his home accommodations far excelled those of the best student’s, and he had their intimate companionship, which meant a great deal to him at college as well as to his subsequent career.
Students with qualifications such as his will find their college expenses an easy matter.
