Teach And Practice Thrift,
President Tells Students
One of the most important contributions which a teacher can
make to the community through
the classroom is the leaching of
thrift, President
A. R. Brubachcr said today.
Every college student should
practice thrift habits, he declared.
Dr. Brubacher's opinion, published in city dailies in Albany
during the past week, concludes:
"A savings hank deposit is one of
the best forms of economic security yet devised. The state zealously guards the integrity of the
bank; deposits will be secure
against depressions and fluctuations in value; and the depositor
may know that his future is assured. The savings bank deposit is
a badge of economic independence
and rugged citizenship."

An Introduction
to Living Philosophy. By D, S. Robinson. T h o m a s Y. Crovvell Company. New York. 381
pages. $3.00.
Dr. Robinson places before his readers an intelligent
survey of existing types of philosophy in this companion volume to his "Anthology of Recent Philosophy."
This book aims chiefly at a presentation of types,
methods, and problems of modern philosophic thought.
T h e newer students of philosophy will find themselves
deftly orientated in the opening section of the volume
which deals with such fundamental topics as why men
philosophize, how to study philosophy, and types and
problems of philosophy. Following this are the considerations of idealism, realism, and pragmatism with
Ibc main points in the development of each. The relationship of each of these with knowledge and existence,
truth and error, value and evil, and the body-mind problem is taken up.
T h e concluding section deals with vitalism, phenomenology, irrationalism, eclecticism, and the new scholasticism. T h e author maintains throughout the attempt
to point out contrasting and conflicting schools which
are under debate today. H e abandons the traditional
theories. His tables and diagrams of branches of philosophy, classification of realistic theories, and classification of British and American philosophers are very
helpful in differentiating the various fields of thought
together with the contributions of each. The individual
works of James, Koyce, Santayana, Dewey, and Bergson
are emphasized. Every student of philosophy, as well
as every cultured college student, needs a hook like this
on his shelf.
Tom I'ainc-Ubcrly
Hell By George Creel. Sears Publishing Company. New York City. 173 pages. $2.0(1.
Tom Paine, the greatest pamphleteer of the American
and French Revolutions, is the subject of this study by
Mr. Creel. In it is set forth the great debt of both
France and America to a man whose clear intellect and
prolific pen dealt tremendous strokes at the tyranny of
the eighteenth century. His writings were reckoned
almost as weighty as the sword of Washington in the
cause of liberty, and many a time that leader called
upon Paine to produce the courageous and inspiring
papers which renewed the flagging hopes and sinking
courage of the patriotic armies.

COLLEGE DEGREE'S
ECONOMIC VALUE

New York, N. V . — ( N S F A ) — The
economic importance of a college
education is going to decrease in
the future, for the number of college graduates is increasing faster
than the demand for them, Dr.
Harvey N. Davis, president of
Stevens Institute of Technology,
declared here at the eighth animal
luncheon of science teachers and
research investigators of the metropolitan district.
" I t will no longer be worth $3,-1(10
a year to a man to have had a
dlege education," Dr. Davis asserted. "Hut this w i l l not mean il
will no longer pay lo go to college,
because more and more young people will do so merely for Ibc increased enjoyment they will get m i l
of life afterward."
Dr. Davis held that "the in idem
educationalist underestimates the
importance of developing skilled
technique before encouraging self
expression," while the inculcation
of knowledge i , over-emphasized,

When the Shelton o p e n e d

patronage has i n c r e a s e d ;
we feel safe in a s s e r t i n g
that more students make
the Shelton their New York
home than at any club or
other hotel. One reason for
this is the free recreational
features plus a desire to

While
Albanians
were
digging
themselves out from under the late
March blizzard, one member of the
faculty and live State college students
were enjoying the spring weather of
Washington during the Easter vacation.
T h e group, including Paul II.
Sheats, assistant instructor in government, Lloyd Moreland,
Albert
Strong, and Andrew Hritz, seniors,
and John Grosvcnor and Bernard
Kerbel, juniors, left Albany the morning of Monday, March 28, in a blinding snowstorm and arrived in Washington to see the sun set beyond the
Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia.
The party spent two days on various sighir.umg expeditions
\ isits
were made to the Lincoln Memorial,
Smithsonian Institute,
Washington
monument, Arlington Cetnctary, Congressional Library, the White Mouse,
and Congress. T h e most interesting
part of the entire trip, according to
members of the party, was observing
the proceedings of Congress. T h e delegation was fortunate to be present at
''u- lime when Speaker Garner of the
House of Representatives quelled the
political revolt on the tax measures.
The- parly was able to hear several
ol the tax measures pass the House
and also heard debates in the Senate
over the tariff bill that is up for passage before that body,

New Student Mailbox Built
By Two Potter Club Members
No longer will the complaints of
misplaced notes and letters to
students be appropriate, because
a new anel sturdy mailbox has
been substituted for the one with
which students have had a long
acquaintance.
During the past Easier recess
two new members of ihe Edward
F.ldred
Bolter
club,
Kenneth
Johnson and John Bills, fresh
men, took il upon
themselves
either to build a new one- or to
reconstruct the old. T h e necessary
carpenters' tools, varnish, and
while paint were- galheied together,
and the work was begun. The
result was the new pigeon holed
affair which c l i c h e , the atleliliejl)
of every student thai passes by.
