The Colleges as well as other agencies, have a real contribution to make towards the winning of the war. The special interests of institutions must be subordinated to the one purpose now before the nation. President Wilson has declared that it is the patriotic duty of young men under twenty-one years of age to seek a technical education, and if already in College, to continue and complete their education. A sufficient number of technically trained men is so essential chat the War Department has made the follwoing provisions to encourage college students arriving at draft age before graduation to continue and complete their courses. Immediately upon graduation, such students enter the service in their special lines. 1 Qualified engineering students may enlist in the Engineering Enlisted Reserve Corps and be placed on the inactive list until graduation. At graduation they will have an opportunity to enter an Engineer Officers' Training Camp to try for a Commission, or they enter the Engineers' Corps as a private. 2. Qualifeid engineering students may enlist in the Naval Reserve, and on graduation may enter the U. S. Navy Steam Engineering School and train for Ensign's Commissions. (Students in the Naval Reserve will likely not be eligible for membership in the R. O. T. C.) 3. Qualified agricultural students in the Senior Class may enlist in the Quartermaster's Reserve Corps to be called to active .1..4..- i-i?i. i l _ c it. _ .. ei,?.. ,1 i: uui/V in Liiui/ ui cilieII ui uiu sei vice aiiArr giiiuuauun The Secretary of War has distinctly stated that young men under draft age who have entered upon a technical college education can render the nation the greatest service by being educated first and serving afterwards. Young men sixteen or seventeen years of age can graduate by the time they reach the draft age and be prepared for maximum usefulness in the military establishment. Engineers and technicians cannot be made over night, and our Government will be seriously embarrassed if young men refuse to begin now the training necessary to *keep up the supply of fuch men both for the needs of the army and for carrying out the war program at home. After the war the greater* opportunity in history will be presented to men trained in j- ^riculture, Engineering and other technical lines. If the L'.
