a piece of advice Advice is cheap or he couldnt do It for he hasnt yet recovered from the last because we feel able to soak you fee His advice Is this Dont study too hard Dont study any harder than you have to sob to get your degree Play fair with the faculty but dont hurt yourself doing overtime work Study Is all right in Its place but the Class of 1911 has got by that place If you arent educated yet another semester wont help you any and if you are already educated dont overtrain and go stale Theres a whole lot to be learned In college other than between 816 and 430 There are some pretty nifty hills back of the university there are some winding roads and a few paths and Mother Nature pulls off a class A Bunset every once In a while In the spring Youll forget all you learned In

young fellows trying to get along and preparing nests for themselves How are they to get acquainted with the right kind of womanhood As you know street acquaintances public dances etc are hardly
