DEDICATION AN American patriot has said, and truly,“These are the times that try men’s souls.” The call for sacrifice and service is imperious and may not pass unheeded. The hour of trial is here; the time of sacrifice is now. We are beginning to realize what President Wilson meant when he said, “We must dedicate our lives and our fortunes, everything that we are, and everything that we have.” Selfish ease, thoughtless living, frivolity of soul, have passed. We have been born again. CARN EG I E TECH was among the first to catch the great spirit of self-sacrifice that has swept the land like a winnowing flame. Nearly a thousand of our brightest and brainiest men, men with the flower of promise already in the blossom, when the call went forth leaped to place without hesitation or regret, whether that place was in the councils of the Nation, or at the head of a column, with the ships of the line, or shoulder to shoulderwith the horny-handed son of toil. AN D so,we take a solemn pride in dedicating this, the eleventh consecutive issue of THE THISTLE, to the Alumni and Students of the Carnegie Institute of Technology who are now with the colors upholding the honor of their country, and adding to the luster of their Alma Mater. O U R hearts go out to you wherever you are—in camp, on shipboard, in trench or hospital, on the firing-line, or in government office. Only love do we send and a desire to benefit and to bless. We glory in your American manhood, and we wish you well. JOHN T. HOYLE
