UU LMJ LMi 1917 THISTLE EU Hi tU TO THE THISTLE Now comes the hour when the United States is to test the patriotism and steadfastness of its citizens. History is in the making and the nations of the world stand on the brink of an era in which peace and good will become a dream. During these days of suspense the people of this country are to have their first test of unselfish service and I am very proud indeed that the students of this institution are planning to give of the best that they have when the nation issues its call. I am confident that the part that we are to play as an institution of higher learning will be worthy of the best traditions of other colleges and universities in the .old days. May wo face our task in the spirit of our forefathers who gave us a heritage of idealism to lead the nations of the earth in sacrifice for freedom. The true interpretation of higher education is that knowledge is powerful only when its use is for the purpose of uplifting the cause of civilization. Should the Faculty, Alumni and Students participate in the impending conflict they will carry forward the highest aspirations of the Carnegie Institute of Technology to aid in the upbuilding of mankind. From deep in my heart these words go to the students as my message for 1917. Arthur Arton Hamerschlag March Twenty-sixth, Nineteen Hundred and Seventeen. Fourteen
