University Session Opens
September 19

The next regular session of the
Louisiana State University will
open on Wednesday, September
19. 1t is the earliest desire of the
University authorities that there
be no diminution in attendance
from thatof previous sessions,
but, on the contrary, that the re-
gistration be larger than ever
before.
There is no doubt that the
world will have to look mainly to
United States to replenish its sup
ply of highly educated men, now
being so rapidly depleted on the
battle fields of Europe, says
President Thos. D. Boyd of the
Louisiana State University.
Many European colleges and
universities have closed their
doors, and it would be very un-
fortunate to have any great fall
ing off in the attendance Of our
American colleges and unversiti-
es this fall
High school graduates and col
lege students are worthy of all
praise for their eagerness to en-
ter the military service and their
willingness, if need be, to die for
their country; but this war will
probably continue several years
longer, and there is no doubt that
these young men can render their
country better service by complet
ing their education and thus fit
ing the nselves for greater use

The cards, upon being pro-
