...impetus given to the teaching and study of the sciences. The old-line colleges are away below their normal strength in students, but the technical institutions are filled to the brim and most of them are now wondering what they will do with the new influx which seems certain to come next autumn. The war has developed technical industries to an unprecedented extent in this country, and the call for trained men is far greater than it ever was before.
