R E W O R D THE 1944 CACTUS has only one purpose to catch and hold for you this year at The University of Texas. It has been a different and at times a very difficult year difficult as only a great conflict which has plunged the whole world into turmoil could make a year difficult. The University has seen many changes in a very short space of time. The tempo of its schedule has been speeded up so that it operates nearly twenty-four hours a day and twelve months of the year, the semesters and classes have been changed and even the students are different as over a third of the enrollment was sent here by the Xavy: but through all the changes the Texas spirit has remained strong and unchanged. Xo set theme was chosen for the 1944 CACTUS but through its pages we have tried to show how The University of Texas, although training its students to be of the best possible use to their country in war, is still fulfilling its chief purpose of educating them to be good citizens in peace. 549S19
