Foreword Our uncertain future, our struggling world, is not a bright outlook for the class of 1943. Yet, down the corridor of time, we have had a certain irreplaceable treasure imbued in us which will help us meet any trial of the future, This precious metal, which has been tempered by age-old tradi- tions and a wonderful fellowship, is culmi- nated by an all-too-inadequate record of the class of 1943. It is with pleasure, however, that we submit the 1943 CUE, somewhat modified from our expectations, but still serving its full usefulness. In submitting this last reminder of our days at the Academy, which we can- not fully appreciate until they are no longer with us, let us sincerely hope that we may be remembered for consecrating ourselves to fight,-if necessary, to die-for a better me ' ..-t sat 4 me ' ' .:t1g'gg,1,g 5 ,Rss .

THB HEADMASTER The Faculty The faculty, to a large extent, is the determining factor in the success of a school. It controls the courses-what the school has. to offer-and an opinion of the school is necessarily based on what it can furnish its students. There are two ways of presenting a course. A teacher can proceed, with the sober aim of merely completing the course and covering all the required subjects. On the other hand, he can use the requirements as a base for expansion and development of his course, making it both interesting and valuable for his students. In this way the lessons and subject of the course enjoy a much greater degree of permanency than in the first method. Here, every bit of information picked up is added to the student's general knowledge through the simple expedient of making the course interesting to him. The Academy is indeed fortunate in having a faculty whose chief interest is the welfare of the student. This year every course and every activity assumed a great importance. The armed forc-es, in their officer-training programs, set up requirements which neces- sitated a fundamental knowledge of some subjects not in the curriculum. The faculty, in order to help applicants for these programs, widened the range of the work at the Academy and in some cases added new subjects. Col.
