University of Toledo - Blockhouse Yearbook (Toledo, OH)

FORWARD Under the whiplash of war. freshman-aged yonths hecome foxhole heroes. And freshman-aged stu- dents mature into adult citizens of a menaced na- tion. In view of these facts, this year ' s Blockhouse staff has soft-peddled the " rah. rah. rah " aspect of college life and has endeavored to interpret the aims, aspirations, and goals for which this year ' s students are now working and fighting. For the first time, an entire section is devoted to the army air corps on our campus. The athletics division, of necessity, has been greatly reduced. Again this year, seniors and faculty members are divided into their respective colleges, and advertis- ing was again found necessary to raise adequate funds. The Blockhouse may have lost a little weight, a few of the more elaborate layouts found in former years may have been omitted, but this is our record of the University of Toledo during a war year. This is a war book.
