Page 22 text:

III! reESiini John Edwin Pomfret, president of the College of William and Mary, friend of every student from freshman to senior, sympa- thetic associate to his contemporaries, has been the guiding light of the college for the past five years — tumultuous years, which are already fast growing dim in our minds. To take over the administrative responsibility of a college community is a difficult task in normal times; to assume that position during the trying days of war, a Herculean one. Yet that is exactly what Dr. Pomfret did, and with success. Tackling myriads of problems, large and small, from a sharply decreased enrollment to shortages of every description, our president came through triumphant and our college endured. Now that a peaceful way of living has once more returned to our war-disrupted campus, we sincerely hope that Dr. Pomfret ' s path will become increasingly smooth and lead on to an era the brilliance of which has never before been realized.
