...work of the world or the relation of his labor to that of other people. In other words, the ordinary college graduate lacks that comprehensive view, that general synthesis of human knowledge and understanding which is essential for the intelligent performance of his daily tasks. While in college, students neglect their work because they see no purpose in it; the question "to what end?" must be answered by our professors and instructors if a higher record is to be shown at the college office for the work of its undergraduates. Specialized efficiency is by no means an adequate solution...
...those who neglect the less exact sciences, a word of warning. When the war is over a period of reconstruction will come, unparalleled in the world's history. This will be a world Renaissance, and even so far as the arts of the world are now dragging in the dust, so then they will be raised to a standard as high as they are now low. The engineer and the architect will rebuild broken material Europe, the teacher, the philosopher, the sociologist and the journalist must rebuild the minds of the nations, downtrodden in the struggle with a material might...

Although we can not determine from this list the effect of the war on studies, yet we can gain confidence for the future. Much discussion has arisen in regard to the earnestness with which students will apply themselves during the years of strife. Some will certainly be influenced to neglect or at least not pursue vigorously their College work, but most of these are already preparing for France. Another group, far greater in number, includes undergraduates whom the seriousness of the times encourages to strive for College distinction with greater eagerness. In addition to both these, another class exists, uninfluenced...
