1918 YACKETY YACK As to the second, there are scholars Iiere who in Ulirary and lalmratory continue the researcli upon which tlie hfe of the University depends. This work is often unreahzed hy the student-body, hut it is hke the mountain springs at the head of a niiglity river. Therefore, despite changes in courses of study necessary to fit them to the needs of the present, despite the niihiary training that ahsorbs so much of the time and interest of menil)ers of the University, despite the picturesque clianges in the appearance of classroom and campus because of the substitution of the garb of war for academic cap and gown, the scientific and philological societies present their records of research, the learned journals published by tlie University appear with stated regularity, scholarly investigation is quickened, not discouraged, l)y war. The spirit of the University seeks to find the facts and to face them, knowing, witli llu.xley, tliat there is no alleviation for the suffering of mankind except veracity of ihouglit and action, and the resolute facing of the world as it is. From this faitlifulness to the second vision, the University derives its authority. Finally, through the series of Extension Leaflets dealing with questions of war, through the package libraries and the information service, through correspondence courses and lectures on history, science, and literature in the light of the war; most of all through the new organizations in various communities known as Extension Centers, the University brings its idealism and its truth to bear on the troubled life of an age of transformation and agony. Wherever a group of people — in a cla sroum on the Hill, in a country Sunday School, in an Extension Center miles away from the C)ld Well — are brought into contact with this idealism and this truth, there is tlie University in the midst of them. The student who walks a dozen miles on Sunday to tell a little class what he has learned on the Hill, the teacher who adds to his routine work the conference at the distant Center, symljolize the third vision. For the University e.xists not in its physical equipment of classrooms and laboratories, not in its machinery of registration and examination, not in the splendid ceremonies of Commencement. When Brand discovered that the people regarded the building that he gave them as in truth tlie church, he locked the door, threw away the key, and led tliem up the mouiitainsiije. So also the University is a spirit — invisible, intangible, yet real. In these community groups, organized for the study of the national spirit, seeking to make of the community what the members of the community w ' ould have the nation become, the University is at work, finding here high service for a time of war, helping our democracy to create, through vision and truth, its ideals. — Edwin Grf£nla v
