American War League Work Is Explained By Chancellor Strong Today
New Organization of Colleges In America To Do Great Work After War
As soon as the War League of American Colleges prepares its recommendations to the colleges as to the plan of promoting the work of these colleges, he asks us as to how the work is to be done here on the Hill. In a letter to Chancellor Frank Strong this morning, Dean Templin, the originator of the idea, who is now in Washington in charge of the work, have details of the work organized soon.
"This War League is going to prove to be one of the strongest forces for reconstruction after the war," said Chancellor Strong this morning. "The purpose of the league is to unify public opinion in our American colleges as to what the war is for and it will accomplish five distinct results."
"In the first place it will sustain our ideas of democracy and freedom and also our opposition to military-ism. The right of the people to decide the most vital problems without questioning a Kaiser who claims his ideas are from God, will be made certain.
"Our sentiment against the secret system will be intensified by the opinions we will get from the work of this league and we will see to it that international law may not be intercepted at will by any one nation.
"A third result of the league's work will be that public opinion will be against the idea that "the State" is supreme in the German sense and that it may abrogate the individual conscience of men. It is this understanding over the people that has caused the Germans to commit their terrible atrocities. "The State" is their one thing responsible for their deeds."
"There will be a wonderful chance for this league to do some good work among the prisoners in the prison camps in seuring unified opinion which will accomplish results after all." These are their countries. "The seeds of information on these matters will grow and the entire world will benefited."
"The fifth result will be that there will be a greater use after the war of the one international organization which has created the World Student Federation. There are also many economic results that will be accomplished but these five results will be most important in creating the world for democracy and freedom."
