The Colleges as well as other agencies, have a real contribu tion to make towards the winning of the war. The special interests of institutions must be subordinated to the one pu'rpose 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 edu cation, and if already in College, to continue and complete their education. A sufficient number of technically trained men is so essential that the War Department has made the following provisions to en courage college students arriving at draft age before graduation to continue and cdmplete their courses. Immediately upon gradua tion, such students 'enter the service in their special lines. 1. Qualified engineering students may enlist in the Engineer ing 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. Qualified engineering students may enlist in the Naval Re serve, and on graduation may enter the U. S. Navy Steam Engineer ing School and train for Ensign's Commissions. (Students in the Naval Reserve will likely not be eligible for membership in the R. 0. T. C.) 3. Qualified agricultural students in the Senior Class may en list in the Quartermaster's Reserve Corps to be called to active duty in that branch of the service after graduation. The Secretary of War has distinctly stated that young men un - Ider 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 pre pared 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 such men both for the needs of the army and for carrying out the war program at home. After the war the greatest opportunity in history will be pre dented to men trained in Agriculture, Engineering and other tech nical lines. If the U. S. is to he a leader in the reconstruction of the world, she must have men trained for the task. For Catalogue, Application Blanks, etc., Write at Once to W. M.

All students are required to wear the uniform and are under military disciplirne at all times. Mil-. itary instruction is supervised by regular army oflicers. Clemson College has over 800 men in the service, many of them hold ing high rank. When war was dec lared, fifty-one of the class of 1917 went to tie first .officers' training camp, and forty-seven of these won " commissions. Since then, the mili tary instruction has been made even more efficient. No patriotic young man can afford to miss the oppor- " tunity of combining with a techni cal education thorough military training. C1emson College is a member of the Senior Division of the Reserve " Officers' Training Corit. All Fresh- X men, Sophomores and Short Course + students are required to take the " Basic Course of three hours military : instruct ion per week. Junirs nndl Seniors may enter the Advancei ." Course if physically and otherwise " qualified, and if admitted, are re .quired to tal4 additional militafy ' instruction. All students in the basic and Ad- . vanced Course receive from the gov- .t ernment $14.00 on their uniforms, and students in the Advanced Course $9.00 per month in addition for subsistende. While no obligation rests upon the graduate of the Advanced Course, completion of it gives dis- . tinct military advantages and spec ial military opportunities. Mem er ship in the advanced course amounts practically to a two year scholarship I furnished by the Federal Govern ment. . * "Drive Courses." For Teachers of Agriculture in Schools. (1 Session.)
