TWO-THIRDS OF COLLEGE MEN FAIL
DO NOT CHOOSE WISELY SAYS Y. M. SECRETARY
Dissipation and Misapplied Energy Chief Reasons—Work to Be Done Abroad.
"The success of one's life depends on his choice of a vocation and so the college student should give the subject his full consideration and not decide hastily," said A. G. Aldrich of New York City in his talk before the regular meeting of the Y. M. C. A. Thursday evening.
"One third of the college graduates disappear from sight or become only average men; another third waste their lives in dissipation, while only one third ever become men of note or accomplish what all college men should. The reason for so many failures is the fact that the men did not enter a vocation suited to them. If people would only realize the trials and temptations of a student they would not think that college men had a 'soft snap.'
"Assuming that there is a God and secondly that there is a personal God who is interested in each one of us and has some plan for our life, it is our duty to find out what he has outlined for us. After having decided this we can do one of two things, disregard it or accept it. If we disregard the call, other men will have to work over time and this is why it is necessary to have men give their life to the kingdom of God, simply because other men refuse to give any time at all to the work. A man should not call himself a Christian unless he helps to better the condition of the world. Ministers to whom most of us leave this work, are only experts in marshaling the forces to work for God, and should be able to rely on us as part of the army. Many claim to be in the army of workers for the kingdom, but in reality they are not.
"If they enthusiastically be believed in bettering the conditions of the world, they should be willing to go to the foreign missionary fields. Here is the point at which many desert or show the yellow streak that is in them, by settling down for their life work in a section of the United States where there is already enough men with the capability to fill the position, whether it be that of doctor, lawyer, or any of the other vocations. If one wants to do the most good and sell his life as dearly as possible there is no better way than to go to the foreign field. Leaders are few in this country and the rest of the civilized world. One cause for this is that few men take the trouble to think a question through and through and to come to a conclusion by themselves. There would be only 62 doctors in the U. S. if we had the same number in proportion that China has. This shows that the need is still greater in the heathen nations Hence if you desire to become a leader there is no field with less opposition or more opportunity than the missionary field."
After the address by Mr. Aldrich, Perry O. Hanson, the first general secretary of the University Y. M. C. A. told of his work in China where he has been for the past seven years and also of the work of Frank Smith, '02, who went to Japan at the same time. Although Mr. Smith is a cripple he is nevertheless doing
good work. As to his own work Mr.Hanson said that there was great need of more men in his particular district of one hundred miles square since there are only fifteen missionaries there

ASHLAND WON THE DEBATE LAST NIGHT
NEGATIVE SIDE OF IMMIGRATION RESTRICTION WON
Clark County Team Given Banner And Cup—Both Schools Send Rooters.
The Ashland high school debating team defeated the Montgomery county high school team unanimously last night and won the championship of the state in debate. The speakers for Ashland were; Clarence Bare, Cale Carson and Fred Hinkle. Those who supported Montgomery county were; Ray McQuiston, Jerry Shearer, and Henry Shinn. Ashland won on the negative side of the question: "Resolved, That our present immigration laws be amended so as to debar all immigrants over sixteen years of age and unable to read and write; provided that this amendment shall not debar dependants upon qualified immigrants or residents of the United States."
Chancellor Strong acted as chairman of the debate. Ashland presented a very strong argument and received the vote of all three of the judges. Each side showed careful preparation and a good knowledge of the subject. Both teams were supported by a large crowd of rooters from their respective high schools. Before the debate started the chapel was filled with the high school yells and the enthusiasm displayed was like that at a football game.
By winning last night, Ashland secured the large red and blue banner offered by the University for the best high school debaters in the state. The winners also gained the large Regents' loving cup which will be in their possession until they are defeated. In order to own the cup it is necessary to win it twice in succession. Thirty-two high schools tried for the championship and by a process of elimination all were excluded except the two teams which spoke last night.
