How to Work Your Way Through College (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from How to Work Your Way Through College Can a young man work his way through college? Is it wise for him to undertake the task? Can a young woman work her way through college? Is it wise for her to under take the task? The above are real questions that a large number Of young people Of both sexes have faced and will continue to face as long as poverty exists and education seems desirable. It is with a good deal Of hesitation that one offers to the general public any kind of autobiographical material that records experiences less momentous than those resulting from participation in the European debacle or the Paris Peace Conference. But agreeing with Wilson that it is perhaps never wise to take counsel Of one's fears, I have decided to. Disregard my feeling of hesitancy and issue this little pamphlet. The following pages contain both a straightforward story of the struggles I experienced in trying to work my way through Trinity College, Durham, North Carolina, and sev eral strong letters of encouragement written by some of the ablest and most worthy citizens of our state. It is with the hope that this material may help some other young person in circumstances similar to mine - help that young person to resolve to secure a college education regardless of the cost that I send this little book forth to the world.
