Excerpt from Annual Report of the President and Treasurer to the Trustees: With Accompanying Documents for the Year Ending, June 30, 1918 To the Trustees: Agreeably to the provisions of the Statutes, the President submits herewith the Annual Report of the work of the University for the year ending June 30, 1918. As has been pointed out in earlier reports, it is no longer possible, or even desirable, to attempt to discuss in the Annual Report every form and aspect of the University's many-sided activity. A selection must be made of those topics which at the moment seem of particular importance or interest. The attached reports of the various Deans, Directors, and other chief administrative officers are submitted as parts of the President's Annual Report for the careful consideration of the Trustees and their appropriate committees. The last Annual Report described in some detail the conditions that prevailed in the University at the time of the entry of the United States into the war and immediately thereafter. During the year 1917-1918, the effects of the war have been felt on every hand, so much so that the normal development of the University's life and work has been to all intents and purposes suspended. We would not have had it otherwise. Columbia University, as a great public service institution with an unbroken record of patriotic devotion to the highest public interest, could have no end or purpose of its own to serve that would for a moment compare with its duty to assist the Government in the prosecution of the war to a victorious conclusion.
