Originality and Address Are of Monetary Value
Originality and address are of greater monetary importance in personality than neatness and sincerity, according to an investigation of the mathematical relation between personality and income which has recently been published. Success will depend more on your personality than on intelligence or ability as a scholar. Reasoning ability stands twelfth and moral habits are the last thing in personality makeup that has any connection with financial success. Aggressiveness, cultismism, accuracy in work, and self reliance.

Officials Must Be Intellectual
There is a widepread opinion that officials must have a high degree of integrity of public officials. It is not sufficient that officials be honest; they must be intelligent and competent to serve the service which they must render.

"I remind you, the obligations of the state university cannot be completely fulfilled in a few resident students. Education today is not restricted to the use of the land," continued President Bizzell.
