Must Prepare for Peace in Time of War
‘The majority of the students

day evening sessions of the con-
vocation, ‘The distinguished
representatives of our Allies

thentic accounts of the rela-
tion of the school to the war,

With remarkable unanimity
ind prevision, the State has
risen to the higher conception
and definition. Before the en-
action of the federal law of se-
lective draft for service, the
State of New York had enacted
a law for compulsory training
under which every boy between
the ages of sixteen and nine-
teen, whether in school or not,
required to be preparing him-
self for some vocational service

‘There has come out of the crisis
a realization of the supreme

Our schoolmaster President}
has made a special appeal to
the teachers, asking them to
aid ‘a deeper understanding of
the meaning and aims of de-

of national life” ‘These * * *

Dangers of Situation
‘There is danger that we shall
find our own minds distracted
nd our long-cherished moral
jucs disturbed by the events
of the war, but there is greater
nger that we shall fail to
¢ advantage of the new val-
that are rising, that we
shall be blind to opportunities
for spiritual enrichment and in
dustrial renovations, that we
shall go on living and teaching
in a narrow, selfish, horizon
when the most momentous
days in the world’s history are
coming to one eternity and go-
ing into the other, If we are
beyond the age of the draft,
we are none of us beyond self
conscription. Tt is to the teach-
fter the soldiers and the

them that the President has
made his first special app
that we conscript ourselves.-

essential that we defend the in-

selves into’ their trenches and
hold them, Second, the schools,
public and private, teachers and
pupils alike, must take an act-
¢ part in helping the nation
in the fight.
With regard to the first obli-
gation: We must teach the
truth ahout the war, Teachers
must instil and nourish in
their millions of pupils a spirit
of unselfish sacrifice. to the end
that they shall he united in

for all of us and: for all time

‘The object of this war is to

having secretly planned to
dominate the world, proceeded

been gone over, and the lists of
the other classes will be treated
likewise soon. So far the Coun-

these people make their posi-

‘The members of the Senior
class are asked to write up their

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO
We see by a recent issue of the “ Brunonian ” that the “ C
marian Club is planning to get up some kind organized
scheme to get more and better men to come to Brown,” The
“News” extends its congratulations to Brown on having a club
with such a progressive spirit and believes that State College
should profit by its example, ‘The Cammarian Club, we believe,
began in the spring by writing prospective students, | We should
begin now. Now is the time to pledge ourselves to a program
that will put S, C. I. in a position to attract the best in the
Let us forget our eternal “Ifs” and “ What Other Col-
leges Do,” and y look down on us,” and just recall that
graduate colleges give S.C. T. graduates a rating in academic
Work equal to any, and far better than many whose name appea
daily on the sporting page. ‘The saying that “No one r
a man who doesn’t respect himself,” is as true of colleges a:
individuals, With a just pride in.the progress we have made,
let us ever strive to do better.
Let’s get. out and get acquainted. Last week some of our
wide-awake Sophomores introduced themselves. to a few lresh-
men, and this week one Soph was telling his friends that he
hadn't realized before what a fine bunch of Freshmen we had.

‘This year both Dr. Thompson and Prof. Bowes are helping
with Our sings. What are you going to do about it?
‘Again’ when it comes to doing student organization work, we
learn “Tt is of no use for me to try, there's a certain clique that
has evérything.” Well, bear in mind that one never yet got
anywhere, léast of all in a working clique, by folding the hands,
looking resigned and forgetting'ta work, ‘Can you think of any-
thing to do about it? Last fall it was about, the same thing with

ghost of a show — might as well walk home with a girl every

about it,—" T still take my walk?”
