The College as well as other agencies, have real contribution to make towards the winning of the war, lie special interests of institutions must be subordinated; the one purpose now before the nation. President Wilson has declared that it is the patriotic ( lty of young men under twenty-one years of age to seek . orlimflfinn nnrl if alreadv in College, to continue] ICVXIXIAVUX WW? ^ , id complete their education. A sufficient number of technically trained men is so es-, ntial that the War Department has made the following j -0visions to encourage college students arriving at draft j le before graduation to continue and complete their i >urses. Immediately upon graduation, such students en-! - :?i | r tne service in meir special iuie?. 1. Qualified engineering students may enlist in the Enneering Enlisted Reserve Corps and be placed on the in-. jtive list until graduation. At graduation they will have, 1 opportunity to enter an Engineer Officers' Training amp to try for a Commission, or they enter the Engi- ( iers' Corps as a private. . { 2.

Qualified agricultural students in the Senior Class \ ay enlist in the Quartermaster's Reserve Corps to be i .lied to active duty in that branch of the service after i -aduation. . The Secretary of War has distinctly stated that young en under draft age who have entered upon a technical < illege education can render the nation the greatest serce by being educated first and serving afterwards. Young en sixteen or seventeen years of age can graduate by ie time they reach the draft age and be prepared for aximum usefulness in the military establishment. Engineers and technicians cannot be made over night, id our Government will be seriously embarrassed if rung men refuse to begin now the training necessary to up the supply of such men both for the needs of the rmy and for carrying out the war program at home. After the war the greatest opportunity in history will 3 presented to men trained in Agriculture, Engineering ad other technical lines. If tfhe U. S. is to be a leader in; le reconstruction of the world, she must have men traini for the task. For Catalogue, Application Blanks, Etc., Write at Once to W. M. RIGGS, President, CLEMSON COLLEGE, S.
