Iembers of the student body, university of washington: The wai- and bloodshed which now engulfs the world Is not an abnormal condition, for the history of mankind has largely been the history of wars, invasions, and boundary changes. It is true that the expansion of national interests has made this war more widespread, and the developments of science have made it more destructive and terrible, but the underlying motives, the factors which, together, constitute the urge for war, ore not substantially dif- ferent from any other time in world history. We should not, therefore, regard this great struggle as some terrible, new ogre preying upon humanity, but rather as the natural culmination and inevitable result of all the weaknesses of mankind; of its selfishness, greed and lust for power. College men and women, despite the woe and travail which is about us now, should face new vistas with optimism, not pessimism. They should work, not worry. They should, with cour- age and energy, idealism and hope, prepare themselves for the mighty role they are cast to play. Governor of Washington

T O THE STUDENTS: I am told that this year Tyee Is going fo feafure the part which the University plays and can play in the development of our state resources. That ' s fine. No other subject could make as much of an appeal to me as this. Our resources are broader than just ores and lumber and fish. They include human resources — the citizens of this Commonwealth. A big part of our job is to cultivate and develop these men and women of this state. We think we are doing a rather good job, but we know we must do an ever better one. After these we have the vast physical resources of this state, most of them yet undeveloped. Why must we develop them? Well, they mean livelihood for our citizens; they mean adding wealth to our state and to our nation; they mean supplying much needed raw mateiials to national defense. To develop any of these resources we need research, study, experiments. These are part and parcel of our university equipment. Our faculties are made up of persons who know what the job is and how to do it. And latei ' , you students will also be turning your hands to this self-same job. So developing our human resources ultimately results in developing our physical resources. That is the only way. With kind greetings to all of you, I am, Sincerely yours. G ji s
