 Of. W J. Ktit. President of if» Col!t»« We are passing through a period that is testing the mettle of men in much the same way as did the World war. Lacking the spectacular elements of the war, the widespread business depression, with its consequent unemployment and human distress, is making its appeal to us as directly as did the dire necessities of the war. As members of a state and national college, we cannot, if we have a sound philosophy of life, be oblivious to foreclosed mortgages and abandoned farms, to inactive sawmills and silent foundries, and above all, to bread lines and famished children. We can do something, both directly and indirectly, in response to the sympathy and comradeship the situation demands of us. We can share from day to day what we have, however limited it may be, with others who have less,- and we can make resolute preparation, here and now, to master those principles of science and economics that will enable us in the future to help solve problems of production, plant and animal diseases, pest control, nutrition, engineering, and human health. Just as during the early period of the war, youths were admonished to continue in college as a patriotic duty, m preparation for improved service, so in the present situation, they are advised to pursue their studies By the efforts of penetrating and consecrated students of today, will the and the benefits enriched and broadcast.
