Competition of wits will be keener than ever In the new era that Is opening. "" " many fields of endeavor Young men and women will ha most serltlusly hnndlcapped unless they have been well trained In the application of science to practical nfTalis. What Thomas A. I'd I son wrote u few years alo Is especially true now: "We have not enough men whose training has been such as lo enable them to cope with the actual con ditions of life. I like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology because It Is doing that and meeting the needs of America " That no time may be lost In meeting the new needs the Mnssachusetfu Institute of Tech nology wilt admit a new class nt the opening of the next term, December SO. 1918, Instead of waiting until the fall of next year. As an emer gency measure the entrance i equipments will be modified and for a limited number of students admission to the first-year classes will be by certificate from preparatory schools and to the higher classes by certificates from colleges.
