Financial Editor Encourages
Serious Study in Prospec
tive Field of Work
By Hoyt Ware
•'My advice to the college man to
day is to become a serious student
in his prospective field,” B. C. Forbes,
nationally syndicated financial writ
er, told The Red and Black Thurs
day.
Asked about the outlook for em
ployment, Forbes, who began his
careor as a printer's devil in Scot
land at 14, said, "There is every
opportunity for the superior stu
dent."
Students More Purposeful
“I do admit that it is hard nowa
days to gain a foothold, but. once
that is done, and honor graduates
are finding it less and less difficult,
any serious-minded young person is
certain to rise above mediocrity."
Father of five sons, two of whom
are college students, Forbes said he
thought college men and women to
day are more purposeful than in
former years.
“College people have felt the
slowing-down of business and indus
try as fully as have the work-a-d*>
folk. They are specializing, looking
ahead and planning, instead of wait
ing until graduation to present them
selves to a busy world.”
Has 44 Years Experience
Called the highest paid financial
editor in America, Forbes is founder
and publisher of Forbes Magazine,
a business publication. A newspaper
man of 44 years experience, he em
phasized:
“This talk of ‘starting out’ when
a man leaves college is the bunk,
frankly; he ‘starts out’ when he en
ters grammar school. More and more
business leaders are considering col
lege records as credentials.”

By
A slender,
member of the corps of student paint
ers whose work on “campus loca
tion” attracted curious onlookers,
was found this week to be the grand
daughter of the University’s “Grand
Old Chancellor.”
She is Frances Burrow, young des
cendant of "Uncle Dave” Barrow,
who filled the chancellery back dur
ing 1906-25, served as chancellor
emeritus four years, and whose suc
cess story "made" the Saturday Ev
ening Post.
When she returns to the studio to
retouch sketches of campus beauty
spots, she goes to no other place
than “granddaddy’s old home,”
which has been made headquarters
of the University’s modernized art
department.
She still remembers early visits to
David Crenshaw Barrow’s mansion
during an era when the old chancel
lor would make nightly visits to the
cemetery to see that no freshmen
had been left tied to tombstones by
upperclassmen.

belief is sound, any plan for taking
the franchise from the class secretary
would probably be overridden, and
that students may "do business with
some other company” despite the
University's present contract.
The Herff-Jones representative
said the company partially owned a
copyright of the present senior ring.
Prof. H, M. Heckman, chairman
of the faculty committee, produced
Wednesday a copy of the Herff-Jones
contract let six years ago which
showed the ring firm had voluntarily
forfeited all claims to the copyright
in favor of the University of Geor
gia.
Heckman said the contract for
making the standard, copyrighted
ring may be let to any firm, but he
did not favor a plan for re-letting
contracts each year.
The committee chairman indicated
that the faculty's recommendation
was not in favor of student distri
bution of rings, but he said that he
doubts if the Co-op would accept the
offer if the President decides to give
it to them.
The distribution problem was
rushed to a climax last week at a
meeting of the senior class in order
for full settlement to be made before
spring elections.
Students on the ring committee
said prior to the meeting that “we
feel it the sentiment of the entire
class that the sale of the rings and
the profits from it should be kept
in the hand of some deserving stu
dent who proves himself each year
by being elected by his fellow class-
men to the office."
Members of the committee were
Clark Gaines, Perry J. Hudson,
Hapeville; George Dillard, Cusseta;
Kennon Henderson, Carrollton;
Cleone Jackson, Macon; Robert Judd,

“I hitch-hiked to Watkinsville one
time and the only thing I attracted
was a crowd of pickaninnies,” says
the hopeful artist-schoolmarm, who
adds that as far as painting goes,
she “hates purple houses” and is
“afraid of strong accents.”

He slips among easels which now
clutter the late Chancellor Barrow’s

perhaps in bed. She thinks men
tend to shy off when they see a wo
man with a fraternity pin.
Will U. Kissme, easy going and
well dressed, stated he’d given his
pin out but got it back. “Othf^r than
a recognition badge of my fraternity
it means absolutely nothing to me
I think real love should supersede
the wearing of a pin and that’s where
I erred.”
First you see it, then you don’t.
That is generally what happens dur
ing the life history of a fraternity
pin. Opinion as to the significance
of wearing a pin is so different that
it would be impossible to say what
the campus as a whole really thinks.
The majority, however, believe a pin
means laissez-faire. More than that,
little can be said.
