On tin* sixth day of April. 101 7, a war ff im fflb ftlJpd abJft. the white dome of the capitol at W asjingtoij. spj-gad out. f ja i# d momentum. swooped over the ridge of .Mount Si lit inel and enveloped the enilipiis o f the State University o f Montana.

And witli the coming of the cloud a ^ tu d e n t • Vodji;, «jn*' changed overnight; transformed from a rollicking. carefree band of young men and women enjoying four years of universi%gw*fiance to a group of determijie'd Americans face to fare with a stern realitv.

I lie war god was the causa of the transform ation, and the grim lord changed the college year with one blast of his mighty breath. The time was at hand when the flower of the nation must don the khaki and the education of the remaining few be speeded up.

No more could the universities of Amerfca—and thefetate University of Mon­tana in particular—be cloistered a i^ secluded places ofSetirem cnt where students spend the fleeting y ea rs^f collej^f life, cld^out a th o Jfh t of the future.

SENTINEL

THE PRESIDENT

D R E . O. SISSO N .

Greeting

I record my deep appreciation cf the strength and steadiness with which the members of the university in general have held to the tasks of the year, against the distractions incident to the Great W ar. Strange as it may sound, yet I be­lieve it true that the harder task is to stay here and still do one’s fu ll du ty : in training camp or “ over there” a man is surrounded by forces tha t make it easier for him to do his duty than to neglect i t ; here nearly everything still de­pends upon the individual will.

I also pay tribute to the spirit of fellowship and loyalty which has ruled among us all, teachers and students alike, as members of one common institution sharing one common life. We too are allies in our own sector of the great battle line of democracy and progress.

B ut we have hardly begun our war. For all of us over here, the great test is yet to come. Most cf us do not yet know even the alphabet of sacrifice—before every worthy son and daughter of the university lie self-denial, greater exertion, a more rigorous program of life and work—only by these can we meet our ob­ligations and do our part. And heaven pity the man or woman after the war who has been a slacker even before his own conscience.

To the Junior class in particular let us say tha t it is fitting that they should create and issue the University Annual, and so gain fuller insight and sympathy respecting the university ; for next year they must step into the place of chief leadership in the student body in carrying on the spirit and traditions of the institution. Then, more than ever before, they will have opportunity to repay the debt they owe to their Alma Mater. May all of them who arc not imperatively called to other, service come back for the best year of college life.

f t

j S j g f c THE SENTINEL i t s f e g g

To the Class of 1919N othin" better represents the energy, the courage, and the allegiance of the

State University students than this Sentinel of the Class of Nineteen Nineteen.In spite of the m any war-time obstacles and distractions you have, through thisvolume, added and welded another strong link in the chain of cherished campus traditions. More im portant yet, you have established for fu tu re classes a new

test of the push, the play and the performance of student life.

It means much more than ever before to be, and to re­main a university student during these war days. “ They also serve who only stand and w ait.” W hile waiting, the su­preme opportunity is present­ed fo r patien t and persistent preparation for the greater tasks of citizenship and for the greater burdens' of leader­ship. W hile waiting, you be­long to the legion th a t must keep undimmed the lights of new learning and new loyalty within the university. The W ar, and also the Peace to follow, will demand of you and your education, a skill th a t may be transform ed into the fulfillm ent of human needs; and a sacrifice that magnifies itself into new hu­man ideals.

Alan Seegar, the young Am erican poet hero, ju st before he fell battling for freedom in the ranks of the French Foreign Legion, wrote of his “ rare privilege of dying well.” W hat an inspiring thought! To learn well in order to serve well and, perchance in serving, to die well—a worthy war-time student goal.

It h a sn ’t been an easy task t o produce this issue of the Sentinel. The s tudents who are responsible fo r it have earned th e ir lau rels by h a rd work.

A ppoin ted a t the tim e of our co u n try ’s en trance into the W orld W ar, a tim ewhen the very life of the university seemed threatened , the ed itoria l s ta f f of the1919 Sentinel began its work.

In sp ite of f inanc ia l uncer­tain ty , skepticism on the p a r t of m any, and a rise in the cost of engraving and p rin tin g they u n ­dertook the task undaun ted and undism ayed.

The resu lt is the S ta te U niver­s i t y ’s f ir s t w artim e Sentinel. In it you will fin d the Roll of H on­or ; the names of 22!) stu d en ts who have answ ered th e ir coun­t r y ’s call. You will also f in d the Roll of H onor th a t is w ritten in le tters of gold—th e names of the stu d en ts who have given th e ir lives fo r the cause of Democracy.

In years to come th is book will be cherished m ore than any one of the m any excellent year-books which have been produced by the university , because it represents the love and loyalty of those s tu ­den ts who are serving th e ir coun­t ry “ over h e re” to th e ir college sacrifice “ over th e re .”
