"FOR OUR COUNTRY" The students of Chicago Kent are busy with their studies, and preparation for the corning bar examination is enough to keep every senior's attention. Serious times, however, bring even more serious thoughts. As our country faces this great crisis Kent men are as.king themselves what service can I give, what service must I give? Should I wait until conscription or draft when every man shall do his "bit" or should I be one of the first to volunteer? The answer to this, of course, is the individual responsibilities which that particular person faces at home. He knows best whether his duties lie at home or at the front. A man upon whom falls the burden of supporting a family can serve his country in other vvays than being in the first rank. Through all this weighing of duties comes the question will the man be prompted by baser and selfish feelings? Will fear force him to try to be a slacker and shirk doing that which faces him? Will the decision he makes come from cool unbiased reasoning and fair judgment? Washington and other great generals cursed the volunteer system with all its fallacies and hidden pitfalls and prayed that there might be universal training so that the burden would f :ill alike and others should judge whether the excuse was sufficient for a man to be exempt. At least there would be a standard through which every one would be judged. '
Attending this college there are perhaps six hundred men of whom five hundred are fit for service. Of this number at least fifty per cent are free to go, two hundred and fif tv men or more who are the ideal youths for soldiers, minds trained in reasoning, capable of carrying out commands as a soldier and backed by traditions which are dear to the heart of every American. Whatever the faults of the volunteer system, whatever desperate situations we face, whether others shirk their duties or not, at this time when there is a crying demand that every American stand forth and help shoulder the responsibility of his nation the "tudcnt of Chicago-Kent will not be a~ong the last to volunteer their services. Has it not been ever thus that the lawyer has set the example of patriotism and has been the first to harken to his countrv's call? Indeed a hattalion of Chicago-Kent would help to uphold the true honored traditions.
Kent might be called a school for judges when we look at McGoorty, McDonald, Dever, Sullivan, O'Connor, Barasa, Dolan, Stelk, Uhlir, Torrison, Caverly, Scanlan, Turney, Sabath, Beckwith, Doyle, Fisher, Fake, Horner, Owens, LaBuy, Petit' and Kearns. John R. Guilliams of the Chicago Surf ace Lines, is a graduate of Kent. Quin O'Brien developed his oratorical powers while attending Chicago-Kent in '96. Niels Juul is a busy man these days in Congress. You should hear Ninian H. Welch talk on "Cap" Streeter.
