The places ol* danger in modern wars aro not always the plaies of great est service. An adequate food sup ply is absolutely essential. Engi neers are needed at heine io carry on tho work of transportation anti utilization, ns well as to handle tho engineering problems of tho army. At a conference of College Pres idents In Washington! 1?. C., on May 6th, thc following resolutions were adopted ns a .statement of principles. These resolutions are In accord with expressions of the Secretary of War mad??, to tho con ference: 1. We believe that all young men below tho age of liability to tho selective draft, and those not rec ommended for special service, who can avail themselves of tho oppor tunities offered by our Colleges, should bo urged so to do in order thal they may be abb; to render the most effective service, both during the full period of the war und in the trying times which will follow its close. 2. Wo believe that in view of thc supremo importance of applied science In the present war, stu dents pursuing technical courses, such as medicine, agriculture and engineering, are rendering, or are to lender, through the continuance of their training, services mon; valuable and ofllclont Iban if they woro to enroll In military and naval service at once. ONE OF THE TI?RE?* CADET BARRACKS In view of tbe attitude of the government, it is thc patriotic duty of every young utan under the age of twenty-one to enter a technical col lege if'he can possibly do so, and If already In college, whatever his age, to continue and complete bis training. Tho colleges must serve tho nation In whatever way tho government deems best. At present their groatest work is to turn out mon skilled in agriculture, engineering and allied lines.
