After chapel exercises Monday, tho Chan
cellor announced that he desired to have all
members of the University regiment meet him
in the armory. Within ton minutes the arm
ory -was filled with cadets and students inter
ested in the war as they anticipated upon
what the remarks of the Chancellor would be.
The Chancellor said he had word from Gov.
Holcomb stating that, at least one company
from tho University would be accepted. At.
this point there was a great outburst of ap
plause. Ho said there was a possibility of
having two companies. The Chancellor num
erated some of the conditions for enlistment,
one of which was that a student must be
twenty-one years of age. He said ho hoped
the company would be ma lo up of graduates
and those who could leave with the least dif
ficulty. The Chancellor said if any seniors went to
war, their case in regard to graduation would
be looked after individually by the faculty
and board of regents. He intimated that
they would all get their degrees if they were
called to duty by the government.. The case
of lower undergraduates would not be con
sidered as they would have plenty of time to
make up what work they would miss the rest
of the year. The Chancellor urged that only
those enlist who felt it their duty to do so, as
they were engaging in a conflict which no
doubt .would mean death lo some of them.
The Chancellor closed by stating he hoped all
students would bo faithful to their duty in
the University the rest of the year.

was an easy matter to enlist but a very diffi
cult one to get out when once in. He urged
that no one should enlist until he considered
the matter carefully and then was sure he
could endure the hardships which the Com
mandant considered very great. He said that
only those men would bo taken who had re
ceived military instruction and had a good
standing in the military department. Dean
Sherman was called for but he made only a
few remarks.
