J 1 WHAT MICHIGAN STANDS FOR Enlightened citizenship is the ideal toward which the University is success- fully striving in all that it does for its great cosmopolitan student body. To produce the cultivated and well-trained man and woman, to send students into life with an intelligent appreciation of their obligations to the state and to society generally, to equip them with the skill and knowledge necessary to an effective living of life this is the end sought in all the educational endeavors to which Michigan has committed itself. Alichigan has long recognized the fact that the citizen should be something more than a technically trained individual. Besides preparing men and women for their special work in the world, therefore, Mich- igan seeks to broaden their sympathies, strengthen their loyalties, enrich their capacity to appreciate what is truly admirable, so that their personalities will contribute to the higher and more permanent satisfactions of life. The public support of the University is justified by the good it confers upon those who enjoy its privileges and by the influence it exerts, through its graduates and as a center of enlightenment, upon the commonwealth. This purpose is being achieved through the forty thousand alumni and former students whom it has prepared for citizenship. It may truly be said that Michigan is a national university. It draws its students from every state in the Union and from practically all the foreign countries as well. It is the fulfillment of President Henry P. Tappan ' s splendid hope for its possibilities of development a people ' s university, worthy of its name, doing a work that shall be heartily approved by the present generation, but ever looking to the future for worthier achievements, so that it may go forward with increasing power through the generations to come.

The number of students enrolled in the University during the past year, including the Summer Session, was more than 7,000. THE WAR It is easy to understand that the war must have made serious demands upon the student body. More than two thousand men left the University last year to engage in some sort of activity connected with the war. The Reserve Officers ' Training Corps, with a membership of 1,800 early in the year, was reduced to little over a thousand by the departure of men for the various training camps, while the non-military stu- dents were no less prompt to volunteer for the camps and for service in the in- dustries identified with war needs. With the establishment of students ' army and navy corps last Fall, Michigan ' s enroll- ment of prospective soldiers and sailors, the largest among the colleges and universities, was over 3,800. These men were housed in the fra- ternities and were fed at the Union mess hall. With the demobilization of the corps approximately fifty per cent of the uniformed men left the University, most of them only temporarily, purposing to re-enter at the beginning of the second semester. Owing to the exacting nature of the military training, many of the men, finding it impossible to keep up their academic work, decided to make a fresh start the second term. It is confidently expected that the attendance will increase rapidly and continuously during the next few years.
