HE SPIRIT OF THE
UNIVERSITY" is the
title given this painting
by its artist.  It em-
bodies the purpose of
all student activities-
the present aim of the
University.
In the fall of 1916, before the United
States entered the war, Wisconsin
students contributed toward a Wis-
consin ambulance in France. This
was merely one example of that spirit
which desires to give comfort to the
helpless. to ease suffering, and what is
most important of all, toaid the cause
for which our Allies are fighting.
The one purpose of the University,
its life, its activities, is to further the
all important issue-"To Make the
World Safe for Democracy."
