Synopsis
Excerpt from At Oregon: A Story of Opportunity
It has been demonstrated a thousand times that pure, naked valor will not win this struggle. Untrained heroism, no matter how gallant, is magnificent, but it is not war. The trained, efficient machine is necessary to success. And the only hope for the development of. Such a machine is in the output of the nation's educational institutions. The war department recognizes this, and is anxiously encouraging the younger men to stay in college and prepare themselves for the wider and more useful service to which they will yet be called. There is only one road to useful service and promotion during this war, and that road is training. This the university offers, in a system worked out under the plans of the war department. The young American who does not avail himself of the opportunity for this greater service must admit to his own conscience that he is content to do less than his full share in this war.
