A a ra[ Middlebury liis been good to Its N.iv.jl guests. In every possible manner the faculty and student body have helped us to achieve the objectives of our training program. And so I am glad to have this opportunity to say on behalf of the entire unit — thanks; we ' re happv to be aboard and proud to bs a part of Middlebury College. JlUui. £. M. (2Laxk i The choice of our own Middlebury College as training center for a Navy V-I2 unit was a significant one for all of us. It meant changes for both civilian students and officer candidates, and both wondered just what the results would be. Speaking at the first joint assembly of the two groups, President Stratton reassured the Navy with a most cordial wel- come and a desire that the men look upon Middlebury as their college; that their associations with students and facultv would instill in them something of our spirit. At this same assembly, I icuienant Clarke won the civilian student body ' s confidence. We know how genuine is your welcome .... we all feel tlial Middlebury College is a mighty friendly harbor in which to drop anchor. I5oth groups were at once convinced that the step, at first faltering, could now be firni and true. It was, indeed, a step forward! - 14 -
