UNIVERSITY OE TEXAS
BIO ITEM IN AA IK VCT1YITIE*
The war activities of the University
of Texas have progressed until they
are now far greater than those of
any other educational institution in
the United States This statement Is
borne out by the official records of
the universities and colleges In ihe
matter ot training men for the army
President K, E. Vinson of the Uni-'
versity since the declaration of war
has devoted his time and energy con-
stantly toward building up a military
traluing establishment here Many of
his ideas along these military educu
tional lines have been adopted by the
war department and are now ns pruc
lice by educational Instt ut ions over
the country.* It is staled by I ir V mson
that notwithstanding the lug scope ot
its military schools ail departments <-f
the University will be open and con
ducted as usual at i be eououg i* gu;.ir
Session There may be a mudifu ,o a-n
or re-adjustment >>f some of the
course to meet existing war conditions
The constructive Ideas of Dr Mason
■which paved the way to the establish
inent of the different military school-
at the University met with tin in-.irt'
support of the board of regents -■ I that
institution lie devised the plan !■'
which an expenditure of n-'-thv S
