beacon light. DR.. Collier announced
the motto which will be the watch
word or the university of the new era
as . seek the truth without prejudice:
speak the truth without fear"
THE place of the university in the
future life of the country will not be
TO spread propaganda. but to promote
n broad fundamental knowledge" said
DR.. Collier. This will be needed in
the settlement OF questions between
capital and labor and the readjust-
ment of industrial conditions.
The world will turn to the colleges
OF the country as beacons of light.
They are the eKemplification of demoe-
racy. which alone makes democracy
safe for the world by teaching men to
help themselves.
we believe that our first duty as a
university is to minister to the needs
OF the District. We do not want to
spread our efforts too thin. but We do
want TO develop Americans.

the ages. but because OF the deadli-
ness of scientific ingenuity
Hear the tap, tap of crutches at
the Rcd Cross house at Walter Reed
Hospital: see the cropping Of the
blind at the Red Cross institution
at Baltimore, and think of the lonely

realizes that the sacrifices of these
men have been in vain unless We
accept the responsibilities of inter-
national service"
