Eight Act as Pallbearers, Others Drive Wagons, Cut Wood, Etc.
Some interesting and significant statements are shown in the Yale Bureau of Self Help, recently issued at New Haven, Conn., says the New York Tribune. According to a careful canvass, more than $50,000 was earned by the students during the summer for their winter tuition. Of this amount $10,002 was earned by thirty-seven sophomores.
More money was earned by private tutoring than in any other way, but among the queer ways of earning money was that of acting as pallbearers at funerals by eight men working together. Driving milk wagons, soliciting for laundries, painting, wheeling invalid chairs, selling spring water, cutting wood, selling violets at junior proms and soliciting for trucking companies were other ways of making money to meet expenses at the university.
