Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from War Extension Service, Vol. 3 The fundamental duties of every university are to teach, to investigate, to disseminate truth, and to afford technical guidance to the people. My own ambition for the University of Virginia is to speed the time when no cry of help in any social need shall come up from any community in the Commonwealth that will not be met by immediate response from the forces and agencies assembled here at the University. If this was a normal peace-time aspiration it is even more a war-time ambition. If it was our duty to discharge these obligations in peace through ordinary university channels, it is even more our duty now to bring to bear all of our resources upon the novel and complex problems that face our democracy. The University of Virginia as soon as war was declared, hastened to concentrate its energies in helpful work for the nation. It placed military training in its curriculum; it classified its resources of men and equipment; it organized and offered war courses of instruction; it organized a great Base Hospital Unit, now ready for embarkation; its faculty, undergraduates and alumni gave themselves to the nations need so generously that twenty percent of them are now to be found with the colors. This sort of helpfulness will continue to go on as the need arises; but the University realizes that there rests upon it, in addition to this, a clear educational duty, not only to teach those who come to its walls, but to instruct all citizens who need guidance as to the causes of war, the character of American ideals, the avenues for public usefulness, the true ways to win peace, the nature of the responsibility that rests upon all Americans in this solemn moment of our national history, and the character of the reconstructive work that awaits us all when a just peace shall be won.
