PLAN No. 589. STUDIOUS MAN’S WAY OF EARNING HIS WAY THROUGH COLLEGE
He was a young man of few words, but always hit the mark when called upon in class. His strength lay in his scholarship. He was not a success as a salesman and had no ability as a speaker. So the ordinary methods for earning his way through college were closed.
However, he followed his natural bent as a student, securing work as a briefer for one of the college professors who was working on a book on corporations. His first year’s work was so satisfactory that his whole college course was spent on briefing for this professor. This gave him the best kind of board and room, besides giving him a wonderful knowledge of corporation law. He received also sufficient cash to defray all his college expenses and had his summer vacations to himself.
Many young men enjoy a wonderful companionship with the college professors in this manner, as well as earn their way through college. In a large college or university there is opportunity for young men to apply almost any talent they may possess and thereby pay for their living and education.
