DRINK COFFEE FREELY THERE'S A REASON!
Columbia Students in Tests Prove Caffeine Good and Wholesome
"One or two cups of coffee a day are substantially a help in the day's work," according to experiments carried out by the department of psychology at the University of Columbia.
The tests were conducted with 14 college students as subjects. These were divided into the caffeine square and the control squad. The caffeine square received the drug in solution or in capsules and in amounts varying from one to six grains a day. The control squad received a non-stimulating capsule containing sugar of milk or soda fountain syrups similar in taste and appearance to the caffeine solution. The student was kept in ignorance as to whether or not he was given caffeine. On certain days the caffeine squad received control doses or no dose.
The experiments proved that the caffeine taken moderately increases the capacity for mental and physical labor, and, contrary to the general belief, there were felt no after effects of depression and lassitude. In the mental tests, as the calculation test, the following morning showed improvement over the work of the previous day.
The drug when taken in the afternoon and not accompanied by food in most cases exerted an injurious effect in causing insomnia and disturbed sleep.
DENOUNCE "FUSSERS"
If You Would be High Man in Business, Look to Your Class Standing
New York City, March 29-De-nouncing the easy attitude which permits the college student of today to regard the ability to "just pass" an examination as a "gentleman's speed" and any higher grade as a waste of energy which might be better employed in junior "proms" or college athletics or "fussing" or in any of the regular college sports in the curriculum, Prof. William T. Foster, president of Reed College, of Portland, Ore., told the students of New York University yesterday that the college was the high man in business.
"In the class of 1904 at Harvard," said Dr. Foster, "I tried to find out who were the successful men of that class, judged by the records after graduation. I had Dr. Lowell, the president, and two other men select the alumni whom they considered the most successful. They agreed independent upon twenty-four members of the class. I then chose twenty four alumni whom they selected at Harvard. It turned out that the successful men had attained four times as high marks when in college as those selected at random."
Does a College Education Pay?
Dr. Foster said that he had found this to be true in a large number of colleges and remarked that a student who aspired to nothing higher than "the gentleman's grade" in college would achieve only medicinity later
Does a College Education Pay?
Dartmouth College, in an endeavor to ascertain whether or not a collegiate education pays, has made a canvass of its class of 1900. Confidential reports have been received from 76. The men have been out of college ten years, which means fourteen years out of high school. They have had time to settle down. Of the 76, one is earning $708, one $12,000 a year. Eight are working for $1,200, five for $1,500, nine for $1,800, six for $2,000, two for $2,400, four for $2,500, six for $3,000, four for $3,500 and twelve are earning between $4,000 and $7,500 a year. The average for the 76 t is $2,620.
