Cli ciencei The early months of the war shocked us into a sudden realization of our deficiencies in the material implements of warfare and the shock was so severe that every activity, vocation, and endeavor which could not be shown productive of the immediate and des- perate needs was classed as non-essential. It is worth noting that this label has been applied to so many of our normal activities it can mean unimportant only in a limited sense. The axe can fall on a course of action only when it is clear that such yields nothing toward making life more endurable and en- joyable. The menace which threatens us today, however, must be overcome in the material sense and consequently the Liberal Arts college is challenged with a fight for existence. Let us consider this challenge as an oppor- tunity to demonstrate how the elements of .1 Liberal Arts education can contribute in a vital way to the solution of the problems facing the world. All hope for the future is centered in the belief that we shall have people available who are trained in under- standing the origin and background of the present situation, people who can examine and interpret prospectively events as they occur and thereby provide the economic and diplomatic guidance so necessary in a peace- ful world. The Liberal Arts college needs no further justification. y.oltn Lf. Sowket DONALD H.
