CHOOSING A COLLEGE FOR
YOUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS
While the University of Washington was opening
its sixty-fifth year with more students than it can prop
erly accommodate—The Alaska Agricultural College and
School of Mines opened its fifth year with a modest atten
dance. Classes are numbered in groups of five or ten
rather than in groups of hundreds. It offers education
on the retail plan rather than the wholesale. The faculty
of the Alaska college is carefully selected. The institu
tion has not the stately building and well groomed cam
pus, for its very youth has demanded that all of its money
be invested in serviceable buildings housing new and mod
em laboratory equipment. This equipment compares
favorably with that available to students in the larger
universities and the individual student has far more
equipment at his command than he could find in a larger
university. - ’*■ •
At the Alaska Colleg;e each student is required to
participate in student activities. Many of our prominent
national leaders are the product of small colleges where
their talents for leadership were awakened by the stimu
lant of necessity. :J\
This year students from Ketchikan, Junjeiu, Valdez,
Cordova, Anchorage and from our town, Seward, are at
tending the Alaska college. Within the next two years
fully half of the graduates of Alaskan High Schools will
turn from the congested colleges of the States to take ad
vantage of the unusual opportunities offered by our Alas
kan college—a healthy vigorous young institution which
is winning recognition for the high type of Collegiate
work it is offering.
These are thoughts which merit the attention of par
ents and of the young men and women of Alaska, when
the time for choosing a college.
YOUNG OLD MEN
Does constant physical or mental activity, or both,
increase longevity? Supposing Elbert H. Gary, had quit
the game at 60; or suppose Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes
had retired 20 years ago; or that our own Dr. Harvey
Wiley had decided at three score and ten to let the labor
ing oar slip from his grasp—would either of these great
Americans, distinguished in entirely different fields of
professional and business life, find themselves, respec
tively at 80, 82 and 85, as mentally alert and physically
active as they appear to be?
We hear a lot nowadays about this being “an age of
young men,” that “youth must be served,” but is it not
rather the age of old men remaining young? This obser
vation is inspired by the recent eightieth birthday anni
versary of Judge Gary, who celebrated it by putting in a
strenuous day at the offices of the United States Steel
corporation, quitting at 5 o’clock, unwearied by the ex
citement, still the man of “cheerful yesterdays and confi
dent tomorrows,” entering another decade wholly cap
able in the opinion of his associates, of continuing as the
directing force of the great business enterprise which
he has created.
It is better to wear out than to rust out. There comes
to every one the time when the physique breaks under the
strain of the years and the mental forces are less active
and responsive. But this stage is reached, it seems, much
later in life than formerly. And this can ont be because
men put in less hours a day or work fewer years. It maj
be that constant application of the mental and physica'
powers has solved the riddle of longevity.
Of course, when one considers the dimension of life
length alonel is not important. It is recorded 'that the
days of Methuselah were nine hundred and sixty and nine
years: “and he died.” No accomplishment is set down
we are told only that he lived and “died.” No man car
hope to find a place in the annals of his time who merely
lives and dies. The inelications seem to be that one waj
for man to lengthen his days and preserve and perpetual
his energies is by keeping everlastingly on the job.
