teal business man Of today from the
college professor. you do no;
revere the university instructor with
his theories and philosophy" he
said. but it is he who Is holding up
The standard OF the State in which
you are so vitality interested. And
zoo often the college professor will
not interest himself in the practical
work OF everyday life.
This is the time Of readjustment
You business men must realize the
Importance OF the theorizing profes-
sor and the professor must learn
to sympathize with your practical
problems. / ask your loyalty to this
state, to the nation. In these times
unless rank after rank Of uniformed
men are marching down the street
we are ashamed Of sentiment. but
remember the ideals OF yesterday
are the facts OF today. Lend more
tnan your lip loyalty, lend your ag-
gregate support"
