HON. L. W. FAIRFIELD, now on leave of absence, serving his 
 
 first term in Congress, was Vice President of Tri-State College 
 for thirty-one years. During these years Prof. Fairfield taught over 
 a wide range of subjects, the last ten being given to Philosophical 
 subjects and Engineering. He is now before the people for re- 
 election to Congress, on the Republican ticket. He has the advan- 
 tage of a very fine record, both as teacher and public servant. 
 
Y DEAR FRIEND: This is to remind you that Tri-State College 
 opens its doors to youas usual. Our fall term begins Oct. |. This 
 is a good time fer those who would like to help do up the fall 
 
 work before going into school for the year. 
 
 The demand for educated young men and women will continue for 
 years. The call for you from every source is to get into school. The Gov- 
 ernment asks you to go to school; the public is offering unprecedented wages 
 for teaching and all lines of private and public enterprise insist that you get 
 ready for service. 
 
 Tri-State offers three lines of College work most in demand— Normal, 
 Engineering and Commercial. These have been our main lines for years, 
 hence we are not novices in this. There are but three Standard Normal 
 Schools in Indiana and Tri-Sfate is one of the three. Our Engineering 
 School offers four courses in engineering each of which can be taken in two 
 years, because we have kept out of them every subject not strictly essential 
 to engineering. Our Commercial school has been in session every year for 
 a third of a century. We are conducting a wide range of departments out- 
 side of those named. Send for catalogue. We have reduced expenses to 
 a minimum. We therefore not only offer young people school privileges, 
 but at a price that lends hope to them. 
 
 Tri-State College will have military training next year under direction 
 of the War Department of the U. S. Government. Here is a telegram 
 from the Adjutant General received August 3: 
 
 **The President, Tri-State College: 
 
 Your institution having satisfied the prescribed conditions, a unit of the students 
 army training corps will be established therein by direction of the Secretary of War. 
 An officer of the United States Army will be detailed to your institution at an early 
 date and will upon arrival proceed with organization of your unit. Rifles, uniforms, 
 overcoats and other equipment will be shipped to you soon upon the basis of figures 
 
 already furnished by you. McCAIN, the Adjutant General.” 
 
 In a letter from the Secretary of War, concerning this matter, we 
 quote as follows: 
 
 “Enlistments for military training will be pat voluntary, but all aden over 
 eighteen will be encouraged to enlist. ‘This new policy aims to accomplish a two- 
 fold object: first, to develop as a great military asset the large body of young men in 
 the colleges; sad second, to prevent unneccessary and wasteful depletion of the col- 
 leges through tidikeuorinate volunteering, by offering to the students a definite and 
 immediate military status. 
 
 Provision will be made for coordinating the Reserve Officers! Training Corps 
 system with this broader plan.” 
 
 I am sure we could make everything plain to you by correspondence, 
 and therefore invite you to write with the utmost freedom. 
 
 Faithfully yours, L. M. SNIFF 
 
 P. S. It is never possible to get all our students together at one time, but 
 on the other side of this folder is a view of a number of them on the way 
 to hear Dr. Vincent, President of Rockefeller Foundation, on his war lec- 
 ture very recently. 
 
PROFESSOR WILLIS A. FOX has been at the head of the 
 
 Department of Education of Tri-State College since 1909. He 
 came here direct from Columbia University, where he received the 
 Master's Degree. Mr. Fox is Vice President of Tri-State College. 
 He is now a candidate for State Superintendent of Public Instruc- 
 tion of the State of Indiana, on the Demoeratic ticket. He seeks the 
 office backed by an enviable experience as a school man of Indiana.
