CAMPAIGN FOR $3O,OOO,OOO

AS the result of the signing of the
armistice, the United States Gov
ernment has been enabled to sell to
the American committee for Relief
in the Near East, for nominal
sum, fifteen hospitals, of one hun
dred beds each, including complete
equipment and two hundred motor
trucks. Buildings for hospitals al
ready have been completed in Tur-
key, Armenia and Syria. The equip
ment purchased from the Govern
metn will be immediate moved from
France, including a large amount OF
medical supplies. The motor trucks
will be used in returning refugees
to their homes and in distributing
food throughout the districts in
which millions of people are faced
with starvation.
The above announcement comes
as a distinct ally to the American
Committee for Relief in the Near
East and augments the Importance
of the campaign for $30,o00,000
which will be conducted under the
direction OF this committee January
1918, 1919. In this great effort in
the interest of saving human lives
the committee has received full
government approval and co-opera-
tion. All funds received will be
transmitted through the Depart
ment of State and the shipping
board and all consular agents of
the United States government will
give every possible aid to the Amer
ican committee in this work of re-
lief, and a work not only of relief,
but of repatriation and reconstruc-
tion, as we'll. OF the entire amount
contributed to this cause every dol
lar will be transmitted to the Near
East. Not one cent will be spent
for collection and distribution as all
executive expense of the American
Committee is met privately.
America entered the great war
that the rights of small nations may
never again be trampled. The no.
BILE little nations of the Near East
have kept the faith and borne the
burden Of massacre which thous-
ands of miles have kept from COM
ing to America, and they look to
America as the defender of liberty
and as the big brather to the little
nations. And they look with the
assurance that America will not
fail them.

Expressing American Spirit
If there is one point of pride that
I venture to enttrtain, it is that 1t
has been my private privilege in
some measure to interpret the uni
versity spirit in the public life of a
great nation, and I feel that in hon
oring me today in this unusual and
conspicuous manner you have first
of all honored the people whom !
represent. The spirit that I try to
express I know to be their spirit, and
in proportion as I serve them, l be-
lieve that I advance the cause of
freedom.
II wish to thank you, sir, from the
bottom Of my heart for q distinction
which has in . singular way crown
ed, my academic career"
