Today, men are wanted. Today, al
never before the world is clamorins
for leaders to steer the great ships O.
state across the troubled seas of pres
ent-day conditions. Today the world
needs men; it must have men! The
clarion call comes to our ears from
every department of modern life ant
is forcing itself so tremendously upoI
us that we must stop in our mad rusf
for selfish gain and heed its cry.
The world has never been carried
forward by the multitude, but by stall
wart individuals who were examples
and ideals, who were trained and pre-
pared to lead the masses on to higher
heights. They have been men who
combined gold and goodness, great
ness and Godliness, genius and grace
| 1t has been these men who have used
the world as college, events as
teachers, happiness as the graduating
point and a noble character as a God
given diploma who have shaken the
universe and brought our civilization
up to the present plane.
Since history repeats itself, so to-
day from the business, political, social
and spiritual worlds comes the call
for trained and fully developed men
who have a purpose, a vision and
strong determination. This call is
spread through our newspapers, is
proclaimed from our platforms and is
one of the greatest incentives to pro-
mote our institutions. Accompanying
this call is a universal demand for
efficiency Business demands it, the
state requires it, the church must
have it. The great need is for eX-
perts who are trained along many
lines. specialists along, few lines
and who are lobbyists along no line.
The need for big men is increased
thousand fold, because of the awful
political, social, and religious destruc-
tion that permeates the atmosphere OF
the entire world. The very foundations
of society itself are tOttering. The
race is all but in the jaws OF death.
In these tremendous times, men are
tearing down that which ages have
built. We, as Americans, as well as
others are going through period OF
national crisis when the clouds upon
the horizon of the future are even
darker than those over us at present,
when the world war goes forward with
unabated fury, when the ever-w1den1ng
circle of the maelstrom of hate and
ruin continues to suck into its power
,uI swirl the nations of earth. The
world is torn up by the roots and IT 1t

,aise up trained, efficient, and noble
,xperts. with such a stability OF char-
,cter. as to compel the powers OF
darkness to vanish.
During the war, but especially at us
