Publisher's Synopsis
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 Uni versity, 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 pro gram. 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 stu dents and ex-students and 40 members of its faculty for active military service. Military training for the young men still re maining in the University has been established under the dirce tion 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.
