STUDEDAKER OFFERS FREE SCHOLARSHIP
 TO DESERVING ME|I

As q notable example of the patriotic attitude now being shown by American manufacturers, bankers and educators, in response to the governments appeal that the young people of the country now be given every opportunity to at tend college, it is interesting to note what the Studebaker corporation is doing in this respect
 According to an announcement re- gently made public, and verified by members of the faculty of Notre Dame University, South Bend, Indiana, Stude- baker is cooperating with the Univer- sity to the extent that one young man rom each state in the union will be given a free scholarship in the College of Agriculture, beginning with the fall semester.
 In this educational campaign fos- tered by Studebaker. and which has al ready assumed a magnitude of nation al importance, 1t is understood that the method of selecting the eligible young man from each state will be deter mined solely according to the ability of the candidate and his knowledge of az ricultural affairs. That is. scholarships will be awarded to the young men writing the best article, of from 2500 to 5000 words touching upon such timely topics as: How the Automobile In creases Farm Efficiency" Marketing Farm reduce with the Aid of the Auto mobile and Good Roads" The Auto mobile and Its Relation to Farm Val ues.' Many other vital agricultural and industrial problems offer the ambitious youth wide latitude in the selection of his subject
 There are absolutely no restrictions 10 this most generous offer, other than that the candidate be a graduate from a recognized high school. A list of suG- gestive topics has been prepared by members of the University faculty and may be obtained gratis upon appli- cation.
 This unique plan was evolved as a practical response to the appeal of Washington officials that the young people of America be sent to college, to the end that the country may not lack an adequate supply of trained men and women to meet our ever in creasing requirements.
 The danger of a shortage in the sup rly of skilled people needed both for the present war demand and the tre- mendous task of future reconstruction will become more remote as education al campaigns. such as this, broaden in their scope so as to include the leading manufacturers and big business men of the country. Young men intensely anx- lous for a higher education. but finan- cially unable to gratify their desire. will find in contest of this nature. the one answer to their problem.
 Spirited competition in practically every section of the United States has already developed and before the close of the contest, it is expected that thousands of youths will have availed themselves of this exceptional oppor- tunity to scure a collegiate education. Tn order that the selected men may be- gin their studies without delay all manuscripts from contestants should be in the hands of w. A. Johns, Dean Of the College of Agriculture, Univer- sty of Notre Dame, not later than September 1st. The judging of each paper will be made by a committee of competent and impartial men.
