Excerpt from The University of North Carolina Record, Vol. 65: August, 1908; Self-Help at the University I came to Chapel Hill with It took most of this to pay my entrance fees, room rent for the first month, and buy books that I needed in my college courses. I secured a position as waiter at Commons and in this way paid my board. I found it necessary to be absent from the University during November in order to deliver fruit trees which I had sold during the summer. I returned on December 1st and by hard work managed to pass all my examinations. During the summer vaca tion I again sold fruit trees, thus making it necessary to be absent two or three weeks each fall in order to deliver the trees.
