England, Southern Italy letters full of praise and glory of a never-to-be- forgotten college, speaking of Moody battles and wounded men, and whispering of an unconquerable homesickness. least expected -perhaps on some insignificant island or in a barren desert in Africa. Some have even had former roommates as their instructors. And in each of I hem there is always the thought - -how I wish I were once again in Wake Forest. There has been no lack of publicity about our men in the service. Hardly a day goes by that we don ' t read of an alumnus who has been decorated for meritorious service, or who has just successfully passed his entrance exam and has now been accepted . . . , who has recently been commissioned as a second lieutenant. And then unexpectedly our eyes fall on the Casualty List or the Missing List, and the staggering reality of the horrible war we are fighting comes rushing hack to us. As the months go by Wake Forest will continue to decrease in enrollment as more and more don the Army khaki, or the Navy blue, or the forest green of the Marines. But our College will not begrudge her losses for she knows that her sons will return some dav, each of them a hero. And when that day conies there will he no more strife or war; instead, there will he the serenity and peace and gaiety for which Wake Forest has always been known. Yes, we are proud of the courage of our men in the service. And we are proud of their spirit, and their patriotism, and their noble ideals. And we shall pledge ourselves to keep up the fight on the home front until that glorious day when we shall once more breathe the breath of freedom and see our hoys conic marching home. There have been many visitors among our men in uniform on the campus this year. And how glad we have been to see them! Though their former campus has changed greatly since they were here as students they still say that the soul of Wake Forest is the same. And we who are here know this to he true and that it will continue to he true throughout the years to come. For this very soul, this friendly atmosphere, this valiant spirit is the embodiment of Wake Forest. It will never die — for it is one of the many things we are fighting for. a, plots navigation charts
