FIRST QUARTER OF SCHOOL
ENDS TODAY — SECOND
QUARTER JAN. 6TH
The first quarter of the school year
at the University of Idaho closed to
day and hundreds of students will go
to their homes for the holidays. Many
left on today's trains and others will
leave on trains tomorrow and next
day.
The class A men of the S. A. T. C.
are being demobilized and will go
home this week. It will probably be
the last of the week before the work
is finished. Many of these boys will
go home and will not return, for they
gave up good positions to enter the
army, expecting to be sent to France.
But many of them will return and it
is hoped they will bring others with
them.
President Lindley issued the follow
ing address to the students who are
leaving. It manifests the spirit and
voices the sentiments which the
people of Moscow and the faculty
members hold. President Lindley's
address follows;
The Students' Army Training Corps
was organized to equip choice men for
high service in the American Army.
With the abrupt advent of peace, the
chief reason for its existence disap
peared. It was a brilliant and daring
experiment. It expires after a brief
and troubled existence. It brought many
difficult problems of adjustment for in
stitutions and individuals. These tested
the character and the patriotism of fac
ulty and students.
