Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Undergraduate and His College The people of the United States in times of peace lay aside for investment annually something over two billion dollars, and, although they are willing to take a "flier" now and then, they usually look with considerable care into the probable chances for dividends. They make another investment of at least equal importance, the years of youth given to general study after the age of possible earning has arrived. Its importance is not in the money cost, which is more than ten million dollars annually, but in time. Money can be replaced, but never these years. Our collegiate students in any year number well over two hundred thousand. No other nation in the world makes so heavy an investment in this particular field. And yet it may be questioned whether there is any field in which we invest so carelessly, where the ignorance of half-knowledge is more widespread.
