THE DaAiLY EXAMINER, CHARLOTTETOWN, JANUARY 31, 1899,

DR. SCHURMAN.

The Ladder by Which He Climbed to

Fame and Fortune.

Monrreat, Jan. 26—President Schur- man, of Cornell University, (and once of Dalhousie) who has accepted a position to study the com: mercial and social problems of the Philippines, arrived here from New York on Wednesday and left to-day for Vancouver en route to Manila. The other members of the commission will be Admiral Dewey, General Otis,Colonel Coarles Denby and Prof. Dean C. Wor- eester of the University of Michigan,who resided several years in the Philippines.

on the commission

Thirty-one years ago Jacob Gouid Schurman was working in a country store in Prince Edward island for $30 4 year and his board. Six years a; 9, at the age of 38, he became Presidert of Cornell University, and he is now looked upon as one of the leading educators of the country. The transformation from country clerk to university president was brought about entirely by Mr. Schurwan’s own efforts. From the time he was 13 he did not have a dollar ex- cept what he earned. I[n spite of this handicap he obtained a thorough edu- cation, waking a record for scholarship that probably has never been equalled under like circumstances. How it was done is told by President Schurman in to day’s Herald.

INSPIRED BY ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

“When 1 read the life of Abraham Lincoln I was deeply impressed by it, and | said to myself: ‘Here is a whose boyhood was like my own.’ For this reason I think that I can unoder- stand and appreciate Lincoin batter than most men of the younger genera- j tion are capable of doing. I know what it is to grow up in a new country to feel the pinchof poverty and the heavy burden of toil that always ac- company such a life, to struggle hard for advantages which come quite in the natural course of events in _ settled commuoities. | “By this | do not mean to say that my father was worse off than the gen- eral run of settlers in Prince Edward Island inthe year 1854, when I was He had gone into the Island a

no amount of toil could give one much |more than the bare necessities in

that time and place. There was nota railway on the Island, nor a daily news- | paper, and as for theatres. | was never inside of one until after | was 2. The only books in my father’s house were the Bible, Fox’s Book ot Martyrs, Bun- yan’s Pilgrim’s Progress and a few (others ot that standard class. My | eathest books were all outdoors, and i think that it is not a bad text book for a youngster, either.

WORKING FOR TEN CENTS A DAY

“When JI was ten years old [ was hired for a day by one of our neighbors to help with his threshing. The work assiguved to me was to cut the bands of the oatsheaves, and pass them to the man who ted the grain into the drum of the separator. It was not easy work. The sheaves went through the machine as fast as the man could handle them, and the bov who cut bands had to make his hands fly. I worked at that from sunrise to dark, and at the end proudly carried home my pay—sixpence! As the money of the Dominion stood then, it was equal to about ten cents. A cent an hour for the hardest kind of manual } labor a boy could perform! That was

. ; “ ] the way money came in Prince Edward island ip those days. But it was big money to me, for it was the first I had

ever seen that I could call really my own. “ When I was 13] left home. I had

formed the idea that [ wanted to get in- toa store. I don’t know that I had any clear idea about my (future, | merely wanted toe get inte the town and d» something for myself. So my father gt me a place in the nearest town— oummerside—a village of about 1,000 inbabitants. Tbe terms were that 1 was to board with my employer, as was the custom then, and in addition receive for my services $30 at the end of the year. Not a lordly sum, was it, for twelve or fourteen bours’ work per day? But it was the first rung of the ladder ior me. From thst day un'il this I bave always been dependent on my own efforts,

“| worked in this store for a year, and then I gota place in a larger store in the same town with exactly twice the salary, $60 per year! That was ad- vancement indeed. [ remained there for two years, until I was nearly 16. Then I gave up the position of my own accord because I had determined to get a better education.

“As I look back upon it now it seems to me that the chief influence which led to my decision was the local minis- ter. My parents were members of the Baptist church. He took an interest in me and did for me what the Scotch dominie of a generation ago was accus- tomed to do for his poor and ambitious boys—gave ime good advice and urged me to obtain a college education. The good man had in mind to make a minis- ter of me, and I, so far as | thought of the matter, supposed that that would be the natural career for me if | went to college.

“] can remember well when [ told my employer of my decision. I had pon- dered it long, but I hated to tell him. I liked him ana Il liked the business. I put the job off for a long time, but at last, one night when we were walking bome to supper together, I blurted out what was on my wind. He was greatly surprised. He told me that he liked me, was satistied with my work and Then and there he offered to double my pay for the next year if I would stay with him. I thanked him, but said that my mind was made up and | wanted to get an education.

TURNING POINT IN HIS CAREER.

“That was the turning point for me. On the one side was my desire for an education. idid not know bow 1 was to obtain it except that it must be by my own efforts. On the other side was the certainty of $120 yearly in addition to my board, and the prospect of stili further advancenient as soon as I was ready for it. Those who have followed this story carefully enough to realize what $120 meant tome then, will un- derstand that it was no light matter to give it up and accept the uncertain prospect of winning an education,

“My three years as aclerk gave me a training that was to prove invaluable in later years, when | became president of Cornell University. I[ learned busi- ness methods, and | learned to deal eith men. In all sincerity, I can say that I consider this early workina country store no less valuable than my scholastic experience in fitting me for my present positon.

STARTING OUT INTO THE WORLD.

“When I left my clerkship I had something over $80 saved from my wages, andaplan for my immediate educational future. I went to the

school in Princetown, where the lan- guages and higher wathematics were taught, as well as the rudimente, and began wv preparations for college. I took up Greek, Latin, algebra and geo- wetry, all in the same week, if not on me _ eoence

the same day. I learned them all from one teacher.

“| had but one year in whick to get my preparation for college. My money would not last longer than that time, and in order to go on | must win one of the two scholarships in Prince of Wales College offered in gach county of the Island. I don’t believe | ever worked so hard before or since, as J did in those months, ‘he result was that | began to have a bad pain in tne back of my head. I told a physician whom I knew about it, and he said:

A RULE FOR GOOD HEALTH,

“If you want to keep on with your studies, this is what you must do: At the end of the term shut up your books. Don’t look at a book all summer, but go out and work on your father's farm.”

“I took his advice. For three months I did not open a book, but went home and did all kinds of farm work. I bound wheat behind the reaper, and kept my end up with the rest of the other work- men. For me, it was the best thing I could have done.

“T mention this particularly here be- cause at the time I formed a habit which [| have kept up ever siuce through all the busiest years of my life. That is tospend two hours of every day in the open air. If I had not done so I could not have kept up under the strain of hard study to which I sub jected myself during the following years.

HIS GREATEST SUCCESS.

“The college scholarship examina- tions were held in September. I wae afraid that I had not much chance of winning, but | not only won my scholar- ship, but I stood first of all the can- didates in the Island. I have been for- tunate since then, and have had some rewards that most persons would con- sider very much greater than this mod- est prize of $60 a year. But I tell you that this was the greatest success [ ever won. That $60 a year made all the dif- ference in the world to me ther. With it 1 could continue my education; with. out it | could not have gone on.

“ Sixty dollars is not a large sum for a boy to start outa school year. But in Charlottetown, where Prince of Wales college is located, living was cheap, and [ earned it by keeping books fora storekeeper at night.

Prince of Wales college was half way between abhigh school and a country college. Intwo years | had finished the course there and cast about to earn some money to go cn with. The natural thing was to teach, and | secured charge of one of the best general schools in the island for a year. Here | taught every- thing from the a'phabet up to Virgil and algebra, and laid by over one hun- dred dollars.

“With this capital I went to Acadia College, in Nova Scotia, to complete my college course. Acadia was a small col. lege under the controlof the Baptist denomination. Of the 75 or 80 men there, probably four-fifths intended to become ministers. I[ still looked on the pulpit as my natural goal, but just at

the time [ was eager for more learning and thought chiefly of that. TOOK MOST OF THE COLLEGE PRIZEs.

“During my stay in Acadia College, I ani bound to say that I took mostof the prizes for which I was eligible. In the second vear | learned of a scholarship in the University of London offered for competition to all the colleges of Cana- ada. I made up my mind to try for it, and sent to learn the particulars. The questions in the examination were sent out to the governor-general, and vy him distributed to the college in which there were competitors. Afterthe examina- tion the papers were returned to the University in London. The examination was held in June. I took a trip to Prince Edward Island for the summer. The weeks passed and [ heard nothing as to the result of the examina- tion. At length when September came, [ gave up hope and started back to Acadia to finish my course. On the way [ met some men waom! knew. They congratulated me. I did not under- stand it, and asked them what was up.

‘Why,’ they said ‘you have won the scholarship, haven't you? That’s the news up town.’

ANOTHER SCHOLARSHIP WON.

“When | got to the college I found congratulations from the governor of the province, from my old professors and all my friends. It was a great day for me. It opened a new vista. The scholarship meant $500 @ year for three vears to be spent in London or Edin- burgh, as I might elect. I chose Lon- don, not so much for any educational advantages as because I bad been steeped in English history and | wanted to see and krow the famous city. Like all the Canadian youth of the time, | knew my British history thorougily, but of American history I knew nothing at all.

“For a youth brought up as I had been, London was naturally a great revelation. The university was the centre for the advanced scientific thought of the time; 1 was plunged at once into Darwinian biology, Spencerian philosophy, and the teachings of Hux- ley and Tyndall. I had grown up with some pretty orthodox beliefs, which I found very rudely handled by those great teachere. Toa young man who had seriously thought of the ministry as a vocation, it was nothing less than a terrible ordeal. For a time I did not know what to believe. I almost lost beliet in everything. But f determined to go through with it, to learn the truth, whether it seemed good or bad to me.

“fn the second year I got some light on the questions that were perplexing me from James Martineau. He was not attached tothe University of Lon- don, but was lec'uring to Unitarian di- Vinity stulents in Manchester College, then in Gordon Square, but since re- moved to Oxford. I got permission

.

'

to attend his lectures and in the winter of 1876-77 I got a great deal of good oat of them, for it was then that Mar- tineau delivered the leetwres which have since been published in the two stately volumes of his Bthics. He de- livered them before two divinity stu- dents, a Miss Mackintosh and myself.

DEEPLY INTERESTER IN PHILOSOPHY.

“It was at this time that I firet be- came deeply interested in philosophy, and came to the conelusion that the study and teaching of the great truths with which it deals would be the most satisfactory work that | could undertake. Therefore for the third year of my course, I decided to go to Edinburgh, which was still regarded thronghout the length and breadth of the Kingdom as the home of shilosophy.

“During my stay in Edinburgh I learned of the Hibbard travelling fel- lowship which had just been established.

It oftered $2,000 a year for philosophic- |.

al study anywhere on the continent that the holder might select. It was open to all graduates in the United Kingdom, and I saw that this was just what [ needed to round owt my philo- sopbical education, and determined to try for it.

“There were 64 competitors, includ- ing a number of Oxford and Cambridge men. After an extensive examination of our credentials and recommendations the examining committee narrowed the number down to four. These four were summoned to appear before the committee in London.

STRUGGLE FOR ANOTHER PRIZE.

“A fellow student and close friend of mine in Edinburgh, Andrew Setb, had been a competitor for the fellowship. We bad often talked the matter over, wondering who would get the prize, and whether it might be either one of us. When the summons to London came, we were both included ino the four.

“After some further deliberation, the committe informed us that they had decided to establish two fellowships. They were awarded to Seth and myself. So we went to Germany together.

“That year in Heidelberg and Berlin was very delighful and profitable to me, for [ had the opportunity of meet- ing and becoming acquainted with some of the great leaders in philosophic and scientific thought But in reality the $2,000 Hibbard fellowship was less valuable to me than the $60 scholarship

[ had won years before in Prince of

Wales College. start.

“At the end of my year in Germany I returned home and began my work as a teacher in Acadia College, where I bad spent part of my student days. gave up this position, however, and went to Dalhousie University in Hali- fax,to accept the chair of philosophy there,

“During my etay in Berlin I attended on one occasion a reception given by the minister of the United States, then as now, Hon. Andrew D. White. At that time Mr. White was president of Cornell University. From bim and from Prof. Willard Fiske, whom I met at the same time, I learned a great deal about Cornell.

“This chance meeting with Mr White was destined to have a great influence on my after career. When Cornell came to establish a chair of philosophy, Mr White remembered me and proceed- ed to hunt me up. I was summoned to Ithaca and the outcome ot it wae that the chair was offered to me. ‘Thus be- gan my connection with the university, which Ef bave served ever since.”
