Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from University Aid for Community Councils of Defense Immediately after the United States declared war against Germany on April 6, 1917, the various departments of the University, under the leadership of President R. E. Vinson, began formulating plans by which this institution could render the greatest possible service to our government in its military program. Various war activities were inaugurated and have been developed so that in certain respects the University of Texas is far in the lead among other educational institutions in the United States. The institution has furnished some 2500 students and ex-students and 40 members of its faculty for active military service. Military training for the young men still remaining in the University has been established under the direction of the United States War Department. The University is conducting for the War Department a Radio School, a school of Auto Mechanics, and a school of Military Aeronautics, one of the largest in the United States. In addition to the war activities at the University itself the various departments of the institution, and particularly the Department of Extension, have organized various lines of service for the people of the state, in many eases in connection with the State Council of Defense. But before specifying how the University can assist Community Councils of Defense, let us consider what Community Councils are expected to do in helping to win the war. Community Councils: What They Are For We must bear in mind that we are engaged in a world war, the most stupendous and cruel and expensive, both in blood and treasure, of all the wars in history; that it is a war of peoples and not alone of soldiers, just as it is a world conflict of ideals and systems.
