GREETINGS TO THE VETERANS: Texas Christian University is happy that it can serve several thousand veterans in their post-war educational experience. In so far as possible, your needs were anticipated and provisions made to meet them. The University was re-organized into seven natural administrative units and a Dean placed in charge of each unit so that your educational work with us might be more personalized, more comprehensive, and more beneficial. A Department of Student Personnel was organized and staffed by thoroughly trained and capable counsellors to aid you in choosing the most helpful studies and in selecting the most appropriate vocations. A loan fund was established to assist worthy veterans in meeting their financial obligations while waiting for their papers to be processed by the government. New courses have been introduced and new teachers employed to meet your specific interests and needs. We deeply appreciate the service you have rendered our nation, and we want to do everything within our power to make your educational experience truly meaningful and helpful. We are indeed grateful for the fine, co-operative spirit which you are manifesting ,on our campus. It is our sincere hope that the friendly atmosphere which you can help maintain, and the quality of work which you will find here will make you increasingly glad that you have enrolled with us. M. E. SADLER, President TEXAS CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY

THE GREAT TRANSITION A Message From the Presldeni Emeriius Once more the gates of Texas Christian University swing outward and a group of a hundred young men and women, full of faith, courage and magnanimity of soul, go forth to enter into the great human struggle. You carry with you many happy mem- ories of your Alma Mater, as well as no small treasures of wisdom accumulated while here. The good wishes of your President and Faculty follow you and all that you achieve will bring them joy and satisfaction. The world into which you enter now claims you, but T. C. U. still clings to you with a passionate heart. You bear the family likeness. You are entrusted with the family honor. Your most crucial hours are just ahead. The supreme test of your life is yet to come. Will you with open mind discover your proper social and spiritual environment in life? Will you see life partially or See it steadily and as a whole ? Will you translate creed into deed, transform doctrine into life, transmute ideas into ideals and see the universe as a living and expanding organism? The highest, says Goethe, can never be spoken. It can be lived. What a joy to live when there is so much to do! This very fact should gird your loins for spatial enterprises. You have an incredible obligation to your generation. You are to discover new continents of truth, subjugate the powers of selfishness and lead the world into new areas of peace, good will and brotherhood. Let your thought run in these vaster orbits, and new powers com- mensurate with the limitless tasks will come to you from the Omnipotent One as you make the great transition from old T. C. U. into the great university of thought and action into which you will now matriculate.
