Obliged to look elsewhere for higher
education, not only this year, but per

students are already coming to us,
many more will come as the result,
direct and indirect, of present events
I'VE have now supreme oppor-
tunity to demonstrate our capacity for
intellectual leadership. Whether the
war continues three months or three
years, our opportunities and obliga-
tions to take the lead in education and
civilization will be the same, and
America should respond by offering
the best opportunity in the world for
her own students and for those who
may come from other countries.
In the case of South America this
student migration will be facilitated
by the opportune opening of the PAN
anna canal. Students from the west

it alluringly convenient to go via the
canal to edueationar centers in the
United States.
eWithin the last two decades the in
crease in opportunity for graduate
study and research, and for profess

been very remarkable, much greater

the return journey TO Washington.
There were thousands OF visitors in
Rome to do honor to the memory of

prevailed. The people talked in
whispers and there was evidence Of

companies of the Georgia national
guard. but they found little to do. save
keeping traffic from the street through
which the funeral procession passed
The funeral train arrived here at
230 this afternoon and few min
utes later the casket, covered with
gray broadcloth and surmounted by a
single wreath OF flowers. was lifted
from the funeral car by eight of Mrs.
Wilson'S cousins and borne to the
hearse AS the train steamed slowly
into the station, church bells through
out the city were tolied solemnly. A
wide space bad been cleared about the
station, and the thousands OF people
assembled there stood back respect
fully, fearful lest they should break
into the sorrow of the family.
The president, followed by Secre-
tary and Mrs McAdoo Mr. and Mrs,
Sayre. Miss Wilson Professor Arson,
and other near relatives and mem
bers OF the party. quickly left the
train and entered their carriages. The
procession then moved through black
draped streets to the First Presby-
tarsan church. which Mrs Wilson's
father. Rev. DR. Arson. long served
as pastor
