The War-Time Tech TECHNOLOGY itself is giving remarkably effective war service to the Country. THE ALUMNI in large and rapidly increasing numbers are in government or industrial work essential to war success. THE UNDERGRADUATES are efficiently fitting themselves for similar patriotic duty. TECHNOLOGY WOMEN are organizing to provide for men at the front and to co-operate with wives and mothers left behind. Already Institute men are in EUROPE, and Lansingh'98 is on his way to open a Technology centre in Paris. The thousands of Technology men and the hundreds of thousands interested in the Institute should have news of all this and should have it promptly. THEREFORE the undersigned have co-operated to render this news service by making THE TECH the organ of ALL TECHNOLOGY for the period of the war. THE WAR TECH WILL GIVE: NEWS straight from the live Alumni centre at Washington, in the heart of things. NEWS from the fifty local Technology Associations all over the Country. NEWS from the Technology centre in Paris, in touch with all those at the front. NEWS from the Summer Camp, from Plattsburg and from all other training camps where Institute men may be. NEWS of the varied activities of the Institute itself and of its teaching staff. I NEWS TWICE A WEEK, fresh, condensed, accurate, vital to every man and woman closely or remotely allied with Technology. NO TECHNOLOGY MAN CAN AFFORD NOT TO SUBSCRIBE. Six months (52 issues) for $I.50; anywhere in the United States. For their own sakes and to stand behind the great drive to put all the resources of Technology behind the United States and her Allies, we urge every Institute man to subscribe. M. I. T.

The War-Time Tech TECHNOLOGY itself is giving remarkably effective war service to the Country. THE ALUMNI in large and rapidly increasing numbers are in government or industrial work essential to war success. THE UNDERGRADUATES are efficiently fitting themselves for similar patriotic duty. TECHNOLOGY WOMEN are organizing to provide for men at the front and to co-operate with wives and mothers left behind. Already Institute men are in EUROPE, and Lansingh'98 is on his way to open a Technology centre in Paris. The thousands of Technology men and the hundreds of thousands interested in the Institute should have news of all this and should have it promptly. THEREFORE the undersigned have co-operated to render this news service by making THE TECH the organ of ALL TECHNOLOGY for the period of the war. THE WAR TECH WILL GIVE: NEWS straight from the live Alumni centre at Washington, in the heart of things. NEWS from the fifty local Technology Associations all over the Country. NEWS from the Technology centre in Paris, in touch with all those at the front. NEWS from the Summer Camp, from Plattsburg and from all other training camps where Institute men may be. NEWS of the varied activities of the Institute itself and of its teaching staff. I NEWS TWICE A WEEK, fresh, condensed, accurate, vital to every man and woman closely or remotely allied with Technology. NO TECHNOLOGY MAN CAN AFFORD NOT TO SUBSCRIBE. Six months (52 issues) for $I.50; anywhere in the United States. For their own sakes and to stand behind the great drive to put all the resources of Technology behind the United States and her Allies, we urge every Institute man to subscribe. M. I. T.
