No educational Instltu-tio-n Is tha tend reeponded with heart tor apirit and nona haa bean actuated hy higher patriotiazn In doing What It could to aid the groat cause. Until the war an da officiate of tha school declare, the university will task arary possible effort consistent with the character of 'Its organisation, to help In maintaining and Increasing nav tional stability. . At the outbreak of hostilities. Dr. John A.

Moreover, steps were taken at ones to revise the usual work of the school so as to secure n maximum of usefulness. It wee ebviou that upon the young men of college ego would fall the greater share of the burden of actual fighting, and to prepare them for this great responsibility became an immediate escharsential. Though of acter, the university, it eras recognised, could do much' toward this preparation and every department of the school set out to adjust its work to this end.' But there Was also much other work than that of training fighters; there was, in brief, tbs task of bringing the great possibilities of higher education to definite and concrete service in every tine of activity that would strengthen the government Regents.' faculty and students have not ealy Intensified their endeav ore with-t- e the school Itself but they have gone beyond the boundaries of the campus and have joined earnestly with other patriotic citizens in a united effort to save democracy. . Students Give Service. - When the call cnroe for every available man to go Into the fields and the shops to do all he could In the production of food and other necessary materials, the university responded in the best way it knew With the endorsement of the board of regents, the administration and faculty announced that any student who could jump into productive , labor might leave the eenool without hte scholastic standing. Students were required from time to time to report fa the gchooTTiuthorines the progress they were making, and whether they should receive the usual credits for the full year's work at the institution was mads dependent upon the use fulness of tho student to the cause of hte country. Tho reports received indicated that most of the dents entered Into their new work In good faith. t But the young men and women who remained on the campus wars by no means lagging.
