It Is a special source of pride Vj report the activities and accomplishments accomplish-ments of the College in the World war, which came to a close with the signing of tho armistice, effective November 11, 1918. No chapter In .the b'rtory of the institution la mine vorthy than that which ie-cords ie-cords Its response to the call of the Juatlon .'or military and Bclertlflc !eadorsh'p, In recording this natonal tcrtlcc which tho college, has, 2ndne'l, which tervlco with the comliii' o; peace now shifts from tho dlroctly military to an equally Important so-. vlco related to national reconstruction, reconstruc-tion, I wish to, express the satisfaction satisfac-tion and appreciation of the College because ol tho liberal support which 9- .M .0. . has characterized not only tho general gen-eral citizenship of tho state but 21-1 so tho etate administration, particularly partic-ularly hi? excellency, Governor Bamberger, Bam-berger, the State Council of Defense through the Honorable L. H. Farns-worth, Farns-worth, Its chairman, tho Stato Food Administration through tho Honor-ablo Honor-ablo W. W. Armstrong, tho Relief Society of tho Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and tho various var-ious wards and stake organization1! i of tho church, arid tho State Tarm i Bureaus. Very gratifying likewise to all frlonds of tho College 1ms been tho constantly holpful and cooperative coopera-tive sp'rlt which has characterized the municipal admlnlstraton of Logan Lo-gan city, through Mayor Bullen, and the Logu, City Council of Defense, through Chairman Mariner Eccles.

In food production and in conservation, con-servation, it is doubtful it tho rec-. ord of the State of Utah is equalled i by any state in the union. Such re- ( suits are only an expression of the t particular genius of the state which , is essentially creative and very high-, ly and Intelligently social.

RECONSTRUCTION I The victorious conclusion of thol war brings to education In Amerl-( ca new burdens and new opportunities. opportuni-ties. The public now knows as It never 'mew before that learning and civilization must go together. If tho winning of the war was made possible only through our equal or superior mastery of science so the victories of peace will come to those peoples who are most adequately trained to meet the conditions which a forward moving civilization Imposes. Im-poses. Wo aro already lit n scientific scien-tific and technical age. Tho college Is fashioned by federal and state law to meet tho Issues. Wo should anticipate an enlarged patronage by i tho people, who, under more advantageous advan-tageous circumstances materially than evor before and with minds hearts ctlmuluted by tho spectacle of tho last four years, will turn to those institutions In creasing measure meas-ure whero not only tho spiritual and moral ideals of the- race are guarded sacredly but whore, as with our college, col-lege, tho common necessary labor of iCjatinuedfOn, rage Eight) i MmWs-"' 'H r -"."'- " .
