' in 1' E 1 -- ' ':g--L-- Presiclentis Message Each annual event this year draws one 111i11d naturally to the correspond-t ing time a year ago. Vllhat bas not happened since last year's Sentinel was in preparation! The operations of the Great VVar ended nearly half a year agog the processes of the resumption of the usual tenor life are well under way, our sol- diers are streaming' back home and merging into their own places in the world of peaceg by present signs the treaty may be concluded before the Sentinel comes from the press, and in that treaty will be embodied the most significant political covenant ever signed by the hand of man-the League of Nations. A year ago the University was bidding good-bye to its men as they started on the unknown path to the front: what questions and burdens were in the hearts of those who went and those who stayed, no words will ever tell. Now they are coming back-nearly all of themg for this no gratitude can be deep enough. Then there are the sacred dead, whose memory is a perpetual trust. and whose loss is to teach us the great lesson of sacrifice. The task of the war while vast was comparatively clearg now we face prob- lems more vast and clouded by doubt, dissension, and manifold complications. Nothing can solve these problems of the new age except human intelligence and resolute will. These are the true products of University training and life. The State University stands on the threshold of its own new age: no man can set limits to its future. The growth of the state and the general advance of educational interest will make the institution large in any caseg but greatness will come only as the reward of the intelligence, unselfishness, and loyalty of hundreds-teachers, students. alumni, friends. The Sentinel is a powerful force to foster these indispensable elements of greatness. ....13.1
