to the college man in government work.
He spoke of the widening opportunities for
men of education and learning, and of the
great field that the work of the national
government was offering to trained men.
On the college and university man rests
the responsibility for the progress OF the
nation, he said. and this responsibility
should be faithfully borne. The ideal sit
uation of Washington for great national
university was spoken of by Mr.. Collier
in glowing terms, and in closing he urged
upon those present to help increase the
scope and usefulness Of their alma mater
