we'll chosen words gave a message
to the boys telling of the cooperation
of the college and the military ~
thofities and the Importance OF the
work which lies before the soldier
student.
primarily you are soldiers and
incidentally students. One OF the
difficulties of college has been to en-
able the student TO see the connec-
ton of his college studies with ms
after life. When he enters pro-
fessional institution then he begins
to wake up and take an interest IN
his work which will be his own att
erwards. All the young men VINO
were indicted have but one object
in view, to fit themselves for hrst
class fighters. They should do their
utmost in their physical work and IN
their class room work and should
realize that it is absolutely import
ant to make the most of their oppor-
tunities. Any man is a fool VINO
does not do this. In Heavens name
don't waste n minute" He spoke OF
the commanding officer who he says
is interested in every boy in the
course. This work is an altruistic
effort No petty success is connect
ed with it. Good marks are not for
the benefit of the individual alone
but to make him better to fight the
battle of Democracy" In closing he
said This is the biggest year ever
known at Colby and we shall make
it known I am sure"
