To the Class of 1946: You have had the unusual experience of going through college in time of war and now you are the first class to graduate into a post-war world. Your work as teachers in such a world will demand knowledge, human understanding and a strong, adventurous spirit. We hope and believe that you have what it will take. Best wishes for your success and hap- piness. Sincerely yours, Marguerite Kehr, Dean of Women MARGUERITE KEHR Dean of Women THE DEANS To the Members of the Senior Class of 1946: As our college campus returns to nor- malcy and as familiar faces rejoin their college classmates, it is extremely pleasant to have the opportunity of extending a warm word of greeting to you. To those who leave us this year, good luck and best wishes. Remember that those of us who remain at Bloomsburg will be glad to see you whenever you can find it possible to return to the scenes of your undergraduate days. John C. Koch, Dean of Wen .JOHN C.

To the Members of the Class of 1946: In the past four years you have witnessed through the mechanical inventions of our men of science the greatest changes ever experienced in the history of mankind. Dynamic and terrifying forces have been released. Distance has been dwarfed. Unknown and far away places have become but a few hours apart. Yet with all these technological devel- opments, men are still but babbling strangers, distrustful of each other and spiritually far apart. Thus we have a new frontier in the education and an exciting challenge for you of the Class of 1946. As you go forth to work as teachers, we hope that what you have learned here at Bloomsburg will be of immeasurable value to you in preparing the younger generations to utilize the new discoveries of science for the common good of man. The peoples of this dwarfed world must learn to dwell together in peace and comfort. This truly is a great challenge and worthy of your best efforts. Sincerely yours. Dcdii of Instruction THOMAS P. NORTH Dean of Instruction 19

To gain these, courses are offered in orientation, guidance, psychology, philosophy and teaching techniques. The education department has directed all practice teach- ing. They have presented actual school situations so that seniors might gain self-confidence and the ability to teach. In order to help students leaving Bloomsburg there is a placement service administered by Mr. Joseph R. Bailer. It is through this service that graduates find their place in the profession. 21
