IF YOU DO NOT MUEVE
AN EDUCATION.WORTH WHILE
THEN PERUSETHESC LINES
So many papers have been written
6n "What My College Life Has Meant
to Me" and "Is College Education
Worthwhile?" that it seems that tho
field should long since have "been ex-
hausted. In our own 'midst however
there is a living example that I. of
sucn striiuung importance and ao
conclusive that it should; convince the
most Bkoptical that a college educa-
tion affords benefits not to bo obtain-
ed elsewhere.
Willis I Taylor whOrwMes at 1042
Merchant Street can proudly claim
that sinco having come to Simmons
ho has a stronger foundation a surer
footing as it were which makes it
possible fjr him to cope more suc-
cessfully wit'ij tho problem of life
Truly he has a more certain basis on
which to build in the future. Ho may
now make broader plans with tho ut
most confidence of accomplishment.
In fact his foundation is so secure
that it is not at all unreasonable to
expect great things of him;
Now it may bo trtio that the en-
vironment and training afforded in
Simmons has had little or nothing to
do with his phenomenal development
in tho particular rof erred to but sure-
ly such a i radical cHango in bis daily
life as was the result of his having
entered Simmons had much to do
with every change brought about
within himself.
But whether or not It can bo
established that tho marked advant-
age now his directly resulted from
his college experiences tho fact ro-
mains that whereas Taylor twenty.
nino years of age 'wore a sizo num-
ber eight sh6o five years ago now
after having been subjected to some
years In college wears number eleven.

CLASSICAL OLUB PRESENTS
LATIN PLAY ON WED.
Tho Latin play "Ophcus" was
presented by tho Classical Club
Thursday evening April 28 at 8
o'clock In tho auditorium of tho Fine
Arts Building.
The play was founded on tho ancient
myth of Orpheus and Eurydico.
When Orpheus lost his wife he
descended into Hades in an attempt
to bring lier back; and his music so
moved tho Infernal deities that they
consented to her return to earth if
Orpheus would not look back until
they reached tho-uppcr world. This
condition Orpheus violated so ho lost
his wife forever. Ho later met his
death at tho hands of furious women
engaged in the mystic rlted of Bac-
chus. For several years the classical Club
has presented a Latin play sponsored
by Mrs.. Baker head of the Latin' De-
partment of Simmons. Each play has
proved a great success and increased
the appreciation of old classical plays.
