* Tills biography bt j the late
Britton Haddeii cb-fpuhder of
Time magazine, is a story of suc
cess ’ or is it? ! ! :
When he didd at tjhe age of
thirty one, Hadden hjid already
seen his dream of making a mil
lion dollars befjore he "was thirty
realized. Haddep was hoiin a pfo-
digy. He was dictating "verse to
his mother before he icould read
and write. He was ap editorial
genius. At Hotchkiss ; and Yale,
his position as editofr of the
school paper made hirp top man
on the totem pole. Along with
Henry Luce, he conceived of the
revolutionary (in style); Time
magazine/ He "quaffed the cup
of Lady Luck, receiving: a helping
hand—a buck- until the seed they
had sown, pecame a giant of its
own,"
And yet, With all these testl-
Ilint BiiHon Madden was and
still is unknown to the vast mahu
hi v of the American public,
Bwsch has endeavored to reward
Bfitt(j»h with posthumous fame.
Ini doing so, Busch has uninten
tionally rewarded him with poat-
htttnmis pity. Busch describes
Hadden the idiosyncratic genius
With a vibrant competitive spirit;
Hadden the iconoclast;-who com
mitted countless literary taboos
ipi Time; but never Hadden the
giay With a heart and soul, who
was capable of laughing and
c|tying, rejoicing and suffering.
Fjferhaps; there was no such Had-
dfen.
ilf that's the case, can we say
that the lump of gold the hall of
fime that Hadden did his best
U reacli and claim was worth
more than a bit of the solace of
spiritual happiness? I think not.
Hanging on a wall of a/friend's
house is this anonymous, saying:
"Oft times when Death her
tryst does keep, her eye a tear
monials to the success of Brit’ . may sometimes yield for arrows
ton Hadden, I; cannot Help feel
ing that there was something
lacking in this man. The salt is
missing from (he stew. Maybe it
is warmth thait isn’t there. Our
man is human, but is he hu
mane? Author Busch has dbne
nothjng to show such j character
istic ^as being a part of Hadden's
personality. Perhaps Busch can
be likened to the doting parent
who cannot accurately describe
the child. VVitH pen too close to
eye, he draws his portrait in a
blurred perspective.- Realizing
fallen far afield."* Hadden’s peace
of rhind and the spiritual rest
Whicp he farted to attain were
his Arrows.
Whatever may pe said of
Busch’s presentation of Hadden,
the facility which Busch has for
neat construction is unquestion
able. This is a terse, jet-propelled
biography, glowing with subtle
wit and humor, tingling with the
same vitality that was so nRuch

For Graduate Yet
’
it
, The California State Division of
Animal Industry is offering oppor
tunities for careers in veterinary
medicine under its civil service
merit system to graduates of rec
ognised veterinary colleges, jae-
cording to a recent announcement
by the division.
The entrance salary is $358 and
increases are made in steps of
$376, $395, $416 and $486. The
usual California residence require
ment has been waived and the ex
amination will be given nation
wide. Minimum qualifications for
the examination are graduation
with a doctor’s degree in veterinary
medicine from an institution of
recognized standing.
Registration in such an institu
tion in the academic year in which
the degree will be granted will
admit applicants to the examina
tion, but they must produce evi
dence of possession 1 of the required
degree before they can be con
sidered eligible for certification
from the employment list.
At this time, vacancies exist
for veterinarians in three main
types of work. In the animal
disease field, special attention is
given to maintenance of gains
made in reduction of bovine tu
berculosis, There is a large ?*•! ;
riety of animal and poultry dis*

R. H. Hughes said yesterday af
ternoon.
Although the service is sponsor
ed by the VA, it is available both
to veteran and non-veteran stu
dents, Hughes said. There is no
charge for any of the tests, he
added.
The service Includes a variety of
aptitude and interest tests over all
courses of college study. Some of
the tests included are mechanical
aptitude, manual dexterity, gen
eral interest and specific interest
tests.
Students who are having diffi
culty with their course of study,
are thinking of changing courses,
who for any other reason believe
they may not be well suited for
their current major are urged to
come in for tests, Hughes addea,
When the tests are completed, the
servicewill evaluate them and .of
fer their opinion of what the stu
dent is best suited for.
The tests are in no way bind
ing or compulsory to the students
taking them, Hughes emphasized,
and may be taken at the students
convenience.
