Because other men fought to gain the freedoms that allow for institutions such as this, Marion College today fights to maintain that freedom. Early in the year representatives of our armed forces ap¬ peared to recruit men for the Army, its Air Corps, the Navy, and the Marines. There success is evidenced by the fact that nine¬ teen young men enlisted in the Reserves unassigned. Permitted to stay at M. C. until the final term began, most of the reserves were then called to basic train¬ ing and subsequent specialized training. Brave smiles that awarded their courage upon enlistment turned to grave faces as the men left one by one or in groups. Further on the home-front, Marion Col¬ lege’s contribution to the war effort can be seen in her first-aid classes and more regularly in the war plant workers, who by taking fewer hours in school find time to fill a place in the rush of war-time production.
