UNIVERSITY AND THE WAK President Graham also report ed briefly on certain interesting aspects of the University's rela tion to the war. He made no comment on the probable effect of the war on the registration this fall, further than to say , that it wuldt take, and had taken direct ly and indirectly, a great many young men who would otherwise be in college. "Youth is the raw material used by both the colleges and the war. Whatever losses we sustain, we accept as the necessary consequences of this grim fact." The response to the call of the nation on the part of the alumni, the students, and the faculty, , was, from the first, immediate, unre served, and completely up to the best traditions of the institution. "In its naturalness, fullness, and efficiency, it has been such as to fill me with a deep and solemn pride." Eleven members of the faculty who went into service during the summer have been granted leaves of absence for the du-ration of the war : Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt, Pro fessor of Economic Geology, Ma-" jor of Engineers ; Professor P. H. Winston, Professor of Law, Ma jor Judge .Advocate General's Corps; T. J. Campbell, Director of Athletics, Captain Infantry; Professor R. L. James, Assistant Professor of Math., Lieutenant Engineers; Dr. J. H. Johnston, Assisant Professor of Education, Lieutenant Infantry; Dr. H, M. Dargan, Assistant Professor of English, Lieutenant Infantry; F. P. Graham, Instructor in History, Private Marine Corps ; H. R. Totten, Instructor in Botany, Lieutenant Infantry; Dr. Oliver Towles (Associate Professor, Ro mance), Dr. C. M. Keyes (Latin), Dr. Edward Mack, Jr . (Assis tant Professor of Chemitsry), will probably also go into service. A complete list of those Univer sity students and alumni who have entered the active service of the government is not yet available : but an incomplete list, made out by the Registrar, mainly from list3 of those commissioned at the vari ous training camps, is an interest ing and notable record. This par tial list shows 213 Lieutenants (first and second), 24 .Captains, 11 Majors, and 7 officers of grade higher than Major, 17 Medical Eeserve Officers, 12 Lieutenant Commanders and Lieutenants in the Navy, 76 in miscellaneous ap pointments in aviation, wireless and so forth. The new camp at Ogltehorpe has over a hundred and fifteen University men enrolled. National Guard officers and en listments are not included in this summary for the reason that no lists have yet been secured.' SUMMER WAR WORK A large number of the members of the faculty have been engaged during the summer in war work of various sorts."' President Gra ham has served throughout the spring and summer on the educa tion committee of the ' Council of National Defense. He has been recently appointed a director in the American Union of Universi ties and Colleges an institution (with headquarters in Paris) for the purpose of serving American soldiers in France. Dr. J. P. Bul litt, of the medical school, has given the summer to the work of the , Intercollegiate . Intelligence Bureau. Dr. II. M. Wagstaff hi lacted as Stajte Director for the Eed Cross, Drs. Pratt and Howe have served on the State Council of National Defense, Professors -11 1 tv 1 Jboerster ana rierson nave com pleted a book on American ideals and citizenship to be used as a source book for the study of the war. This book will be issued in September, by Houghton, Mifflin & Company, of Boston, who pre diet a very large use of it in the allied nations abroad as well as in this country. Professor Edwin Greenlaw is preparing a syllabus on tne same suDect, tor use m schools and colleges and study clubs. . In regard to military training for the coming year, President Graham reported that this impor tant and difficult problem had beeu met in a highly satisfactory way. The .men secured to give the courses are men whose training and experience give assurance that the work will be altogether ade quate and of University standard. MILITARY TRAINING Through the coperation of the Canadian government, Captain J. Stuart Allen will be at the head of the military work. He is a.Mc Gill University man, who went over to France early in 1915, serv ed first with the Royal Fusiliers and then with the Princess Patri cia's Canadian Light Infantry. He went through many of the famous battles of 1915, saw a great deal of trench warfare, was wounded twice and sent home in February. He will be assisted by Lieutenant Jonathan Leonard, of the Har vard Officers' Training Corps, a graduate of Harvard and an in structor there. He has been mak ing a study of military training in colleges for the past year under the French officers stationed at Harvard, and thoroughly under stands the various questions of-organization and present military A VX U The original AA X.

Whitfield, a 1915 graduate of the University, will take graduate work and assist in the military instruction. The courses will be voluntary. The authorities believe, however, that not less than 400 men will take thef ull course, nad probably a great many more. The work will follow the line of the Officers' Reserve Training Corps, as nearly as possible. . It wilLbe exacting m its resuirements, and will count for college credit. Two hundred and fifty guns have been given to the corps through the generosity of Mr. Jujius Cone, of Greens boro. FOOTBALL SCHEDULE CANCELLED The intercollegiate football sche dule for the fall term has been cancelled. This was done with re gret, ias the college heartily be lieves in the game, and is fully committed to intercollegiate sports as a part of its educational policy. It realizes the many disadvantages tof dropping out, if only for the present season ; but to carry through the fall schedule of games of this major sport appears to it to be inconsistent with its present chief interests and obligations. Class games and intra-mural sports will be encouraged in connection with military training, and inter collegiate sports will be resumed as soon as possible. EXTENSION WORK, A NATIONAL INTEREST It was announced also that the United States Bureau of Educa tion, which has from time to time called attention in special bulletins to various features of the Univer sity of North Carolina's extension work, this summer asked the Uni versity to prepare a complete de scriptive bulletin of it3 work the plan of organization, methods, cost and work of all its departments. The Bureau of Education pro poses to r distribute this bulletin throughout the country, as a type of effective University extension work. The President reported that the session of the summer school just closed was very successful. Al though the number of men was less than last year by over one hun dred, the total enrollment was over 900, and most of those registered stayed through the full session. President Graham expressed the greatest optimism in the immedi ate future of the University, bas- d on the extraordinary need for its immediate service. Schools and colleges for men will lose in numbers. "That is an inevitable result of thef acts of the situation ; but loss of numbers is relatively unimportant if there is growth in power through a vitalized sense of responsibility, and fresh currents of new life in education to meet new conditions. Future sovereign ty of the real sort will depend up on that. Education with real values to offer in reconstructive service in the newly awakened world will necessarily play the great role in years jstu ahead. Our immediate practical task in North Carolina i3 to see that North Carolina girls and boys not yet called into government service stay in school and college, in order that we may not lose what we have had to fight so hard to win through the past fifty years ; and that our State shall surpass every other State and nation in the unremitt ing pursuit of this large and far sighted policy of statesmanship." N. B. Broughton, Jr., of Ra leigh, has been in Chapel Hill for several days. ;
