Robert Janies Terry, Pro¬ fessor of Anatomy at Wash¬ ington University, received his degree in ’01. In 1921, he was made anthropologist for Barnes Hospital. He is a member of the Executive Committee of the American Association of Anatomists; President of the St. Louis Anthropological So¬ ciety, and Associate Editor of the American Journal and Physical Anthropology. Dur¬ ing the war, he was Dean of the Officers’ School of Oral and Plastic Surgery. Robert James Terry, A.B., ’01; M.D., ’95 You will remember what interest was shown in college education by the young men of our citizen army on their return home. At that time a flood of applications for admission poured into the offices of the registrars. The universities were filled with students. Not the least of the lessons taught by the great war was the value of a university training. Both at home and abroad, in the numerous and various activities of the army, the superiority of service given by the college man was recognized. This fact became deeply impressed. If the Great War has taught some lessons, it has also added new problems to society’s burden and, besides, has quickened into acute stages all the chronic problems of civilization. The world today is in dire need of the services of trained minds. Such zeal for college education as was shown in our returning soldiers should be carefully fostered. This is the moment when every young man and woman in the land with the capacity for higher training should go to college; when the work of investigators and scholars should receive the most generous encouragement ; when great effort should be made to support univer sities and help them in maintaining high standards and ideals. We, as university graduates, should promulgate the truth of the needs of universities and, as graduates of Washington University, strive to bring to our Alma Mater greater resources to carry on her pro¬ gramme of training and contribution; that she may give the utmost service to T J (1 mankind. Yours truly. £ . L WW , Page Thirty

What, as a mat¬ ter of fact, is so significant as our mistakes? Certainly our successes are not so instructive.’’ (C-w nV Parjc Thirly-tu’o
