Education: Unselfish

From Colgate University there graduated, in 1906, one Raymond E. Brookes. He forthwith entered business, succeeded in becoming President of the R. E. Brookes Co., Manhattan, which makes machinery for constructing dams, roads, concrete bridges. Last week, came the announcement that he has resigned as President of his company so that he might become executive secretary to the Colgate Alumni Association. At a salary equal to about one-eighth of what he made annually in his business, he will direct the Alumni Association in its efforts to "assist university administration" and "to influence the best boys to go to Colgate." This he is doing because he believes it a service to humanity. Said he:

"If more men would get the conception of service to others and think less of the almighty dollar, the world would be a lot better off. . . . I want to help Colgate bring out boys of high calibre, with Christian character, of service to the world."
