"To Make a Dollar"

Ambitious little Deems Taylor, composer of The King's Henchman and Peter Ibbetson, received last week an honorary degree of Doctor of Letters from ambitious little Juniata College, Huntingdon, Pa. at its 55th anniversary celebration. Graduate of New York University (1906), and an able writer of light verse, Composer Taylor told the students: "All of an individual's life depends upon the answer to one question. ... Do you want to make a dollar? There are two answers, 'Yes' and 'How?'

"Be discontented; it is another name for ambition. Be selfish; don't work for the professors. Be disobedient; do not believe everything you are told. Be lazy and fond of music, books, impracticable flowers and the birds that sing, though there be no ear to hear."
