McCormick Hall and the Robert Laird McCor- mick Chair of American History and Patriotism is to be a memorial to her husband but the beautiful life of Mrs. McCormick, herself, will forever linger about the shrine that she is erecting to the spirit of American patriotism. Fifty thousand dollars will be used in the erection of McCormick Hall, which will be the headquarters and home for young men.. It will contain dormitory rooms, library, lecture rooms, a large and beautifully appointed living room, kitchen, dining room, etc. One of the architectural features will be many commodious porches which will add to the beauty of the building and the comfort of the students.

EEEE353EEEEEE EEEEEEEQEEEEEE together fitting that the high ideals, loyal and sane citizenship that dominated the soul of Mr. McCormick should be perpetuated in this way. The University, through this department, hopes to train men who will have a basic understand- ing of our written history and the conditions there recorded, a knowledge of the present day with its unrest and rapid transition, a wisdom and stability of character that will enable them to solve the problems, that as leaders they will be called upon to face in the tomorrows. In a very significant way the McCormick Memorial will incorporate Presi- dent Weir's plans for an American Legion Chair of History and Patriotism. These courses are planned to appeal especially to the Returned Men . The University is convinced that from the rank and file of the American Legion must come many of the leaders of the future. To offer an open door for the education and training of these future leaders is one of the main aims of this new department of History and Patriotism. The splendid record of the men of Pacific University in the World War makes its campus the fitting home for all the McCormick Memorial stands for, and the service it hopes and plans to render. REF1.EcT1oNs ON THE MCCORMICK MEMoR1AL BY PRESIDENT Went Good citizenship in America promotes equal opportunity for all, every- where, and equal rights for all in every part of the government. This is the citizenship that we must maintain. What is the present state of the Republic? We are threatened with an insidious disease. How shall we prevent it? Or, more important still, when have we failed in our methods of national sanita- tion, that we have permitted it to get into the body politic? It is a disease of the minds and spirits of many of our citizens. How have we failedin educating and training them? That a great change has taken place in the point of view of many people and in their feeling toward the Government is plain. How had this lowering of their ideals, this demoralization of their feelings, come about? Is it not a fact that we have neglected the proper education of our citizens? We talk a great deal in these days of the 'education of the immigrants in Americanization. Shall we not first educate ourselves? Had we not better begin by American- izing Americans?
