TO THE SPIRIT OF INDIANA WITH a single ray of moted sunlight fo- cused on its shining surface, Indiana Uni- versity ' s War Memorial Plaque in the foyer of the Union Building presents a meaningful picture. During the past year this plaque became a more significant symbol than any other since 1918 to students and faculty of the University. As the University went to war in 1942 and 1943, this plaque became a representative token - — the keynote of I.U. affairs. Although it was placed in the Union Building floor between Indiana ' s flag and the emblem of the United States before this war began, in honor of those sons and daughters of Indiana University who took part in other battles, the seal now betokens the spirit of more than a score of Indiana men who have died since Dec. 7, 1941. However, this spirit, absorbed from those men who lost their lives for the United States, has spurred Indiana to new ideas, new practices, and .a complete new mode of campus life. Now, with the University girding for war, there is more to college than books . . . and play. Students keep busy the year around under the accelerated program. There are extra sessions in the classrooms ; there is full- time activity during the summer months. Women have found a working place in wartime education. The following pages mirror in part these inno- vations in Indiana ' s way of life.

THE BEN HUR TOiJCH keeps the perspiration off the pages. FIRST FULL-TIME SUMMER SESSION DECIDEDLY SUCCESSFUL Students felt the full force of the cussed and discussed speed-up program as the summer semester began. It was not the usual half-hearted tenn with a few languishing students and several hundred high school teachers, but a full-fledged, all-out third semester. It was war and the University had adopted a year-round scholastic program to enable her stu- dents to receive maximum preparation in a minimum of time. Men students were quick to grasp the op- portunity. Relinquishing pleasant summer vacations and opportunities for summer jobs, they flocked to the University to get in as much education as pos- sible before they were called to the colors. Women came also, though perhaps in lesser numbers. Among innovations were seven o ' clock classes, the divided-semester plan, and front yard study ses- sions. The physical education program continued in full-force, with Saturday classes as a somewhat unwelcome feature. The divided semester, split into two sessions of eight weeks each for the benefit of students who wanted only a limited amount of summer I ' arn- THE WELL HOUSE had many visitors during the day — more at night. THE SUMMER SESSION was conducive to high tem- perature and low grades.
