"The common hope of the students in Europe," said Professor Duprat. "In that Cray remain united and, in this country, the countries. These students are the products and the victims but not the cause of the World War. These students are bonding all their energies together to help left by the loss of leadership in the war.

"One of the greatest things that has happened to raise the morale of those students has been the development of the self-help schemes made for the first time. The first money was spent for direct relief; providing food, clothing and shelter for the suffering students. Now the money is spent for equipping print shops, shoe shops, and so forth, so that the students now do their own homework. A hundred thousand students in Germany, sixty-one thousand help themselves. A major of these are of the intellectual class which formerly looked down on work of any kind." The present need is for direct relief in Russia. This did not be the social situation this country has in the fact that the universities are open for the first time to the seasants."
