progressed until they are now- far
greater than those of any other educa
tional institution in the United States.
This statement is borpe out by the of-
ficial records of the universities and'
colleges in the matter of training men
f«r the army. President B. E. 'Vin-
boh, of the University, since the leeln-
rstion of war has devoted his time
and energy constantly toward building
up a military training establishment
here. Many of his ideas along these
military educational lines have been
adopted by the war department and
are now in practice by educational in-
stitutions over the country. It is stat-
ed by Dr. Vinson that notwithstanding
all departments of the Univeraity will
be open and conducted as usual at the
coming regular session. There may be
a modification or readjustment of the
courses to ;meet existing war coodi
tions, but these will in no way ef-

The constructive ideas of Dr. Vinson
which paved the way to the establish-

at the university met with the heurty
support of the Board of Begents of
that institution. Dr. Vinson devised
tie plan by which an expenditure of
nearly $1,500,000 will have been mad©
for buildings and equipment for these
military schools, reimbursement for
this expenditure to be obtained from
the Federal government by the feeding

Out of this number only 2,500,000 men through this draft; a shortage of man

requisites of war. This furlough,
will, in- all payability, be for the du-
ration of tho war unless the conditions
upon which the furlough was gronted
are abused by a refusal to do war
work or quitting war work without
due leave of absence. In either case
the industrial soldiers will be recalled,
