e ge The college year 1944-45 finds the world still engaged in war. During this time every- one must share the responsibilities of the nation. Some must take part in the armed forces, some must work in industrial plants producing the armament for the fighting front, others must produce the food for not only our nation but to a degree for our allies and the rehabilitated areas, while still others must make preparation for the postwar period. You men at Mansfield are charged with the last of the above obligations, which, must not be taken lightly. The ensuing years will present a great need for young men who can engage in adult education as well as that of the youth. To meet this demand you must have vision and the ability to evaluate issues and materials. These qualities are obtained only through a sound educational background and an open mind. With such an objective estab- lished it is your duty to take advantage of all the opportunities offered through the per- sonalities of the instructors, and in the con- tent of the library and other educational facilities on the campus of the State Teachers College at Mansfield. CYRIL L. STOUT, Acting Dean of Men. William Lyon Phelps, one of the world ' s great teachers, said: There has never been in the world ' s history a period when it was more worthwhile to be a teacher than in the twentieth century. The nation has greater need of able teachers now than ever before and according to post war educational plans the role of the teacher will become increas- ingly more important in the days ahead. To you, as a potential American teacher, comes the challenge of becoming an able teacher. A teachers college education does not neces- sarily produce an educated teacher. College offers you your education but you, as a future teacher, must be willing to assimilate it. Your education here at Mansfield should aid you to think independently, to understand the present condition of this country in terms of its past heritage, to make decisions wisely, to value the respect of each individual and to be interested in his growth, and to have the inner resources necessary for personal development and personal satisfaction. Never has the nation been more in need of teachers who possess these qualifications. May you always believe in your profession and find happiness in being an American teacher. DOROTHY M. WASLEY, Dean of Women. Dr. Stout Dean of Men Miss Wasley Dean of Women

of the College Although the majority cf your class will assume the role of an Ameri- can Teacher all of you are fortunate in having had an education which interprets vocational and professional efficiency in terms of social com- petence and service. Your life will touch hundreds and thousands of oth- ers. If you become a partner in a home, it will be your standards of values that will largely determine the success or failure of that partnership. If you assume larger democratic responsibilities in your community, it will be your attitudes and intelligent thinking that will aid in determining the character of democracy in ycur community and, in turn, the character of our national and world democracy. If you join the ranks of the American Teacher then yours is a great trusteeship — the debt eternal of each gen- eration to the new life which must take its place — and yours, the oppor- tunity to kindle the flame of right thinking and living in the minds and hearts of the youth of America.
