In assisting to make the world safe for democracy” the Oregon Agricultural College makes no change in its policy. For many years it has been presenting to the nation well trained citizens holding the ideals of true democracy, ideals which must lead to a federation of nations and universal brotherhood. All young men and women, students of our great educa-ional institutions, must realize that they are living witnesses of a cataclysmal convulsion such as the human race has never before experienced, and it is safe to predict that, when peace has come again, as finally it must come, conditions of life, and of business will never be again as they were before. Under the compelling exigencies of the Great War it has been found necessary for the governments of the nations to seize the control, not only of public utilities, but also of many leading industries and manufactures; a control which may probably never be relinquished, and which must change the whole fabric of old time business and habits. Students, who arc prepared to meet those conditions, will find places to fit them in a new scheme of all things mundane, such as thoughtful men and women foresee at this time. The present world war must end with the preservation of human liberty. After the war, great changes will mark the social, industrial and economic progress as the whole world is rebuilt. In the solution of these two great problems you can render assistance through remaining in school and getting such a training as will permit you to give the larger service that is made possible through a larger preparation. Very sincerely yours, CL. JLLU pt. Public nstruction.

n As I see it, the paramount duty of every American at the present time is to furnish full support to our President, our Government and our boys in the trenches. As long as this war lasts we must consider all of our personal affairs as secondary to the success of the Government, and after victory is accomplished for our side it will be incumbent upon all Americans, particularly those who have been favored with educational endowment, to place their full ability in the mighty task of reconstruction which must follow inevitably. Sincerely yours. Governor. At no time in the history of the world has greater responsibility rested upon mankind than now. The actors of the present are rapidly passing and the young men and women will necessarily have to carry forward, we hope to a successful finale, these mighty problems. To do so, will require immense labor and demand unusual sacrifices, it will take all the knowledge, strength and energy of the land to cope with and destroy the enemies of Democracy. The bow of promise is ever bright and alluring, but the realities of life arc stem and unyielding. To be a leader, when such momentous questions as now arc in the balance, requires the minutest preparation, the deepest thought, the strictest integrity, the purest purposes and a heart ladcncd with love of country and humanity. To you, Juniors of O. A. C., we look with assurance, believing that your patriotism and reverence for our democratic institutions is so firmly imbedded in your hearts that you will be leaders in the great work that is now passing to you. Accept it in earnestness, and perform it with enthusiasm.
