Abstract

25 Years Ago in "The Nation"

The article presents excerpts of the reports published in the May 1918 issues of the journal "The Nation." One of the excerpts published in the May 4 issue is "The colleges throughout the U.S. are giving special courses to meet war needs. In carrying out this or any other related plan, the colleges must not allow themselves to be swept off their feet by the present exigency. The supreme duty of the college remains what it has always been-to teach students to think. In war as in peace, the college must never forget its thief task." Another excerpt from May 11 issue is "What Zionists consider the first Jewish government in Palestine for over two hundred years, the Jewish Administrative Commission, arrived at Jerusalem on April 10. It is headed by Chaim Weizmann."
