We watched the plans being made and the funds being raised for the enlargement of the college. We looked at the architect ' s drawings for the new buildings. We began to give systematically toward the building of a Student Union. We saw the shadow of the future thrown across the campus bv the word university from the lips of the Baptist State Convention. Meanwhile, the nation held an election and two presidents were inaugurated, the hardest battles of the war were fought and the peace took shape. Tortured Europe and enslaved Pacific islands were slowly freed. The Big Three phase of planning for war and peace gave place to the San Francisco Conference. Nations bound together by war proved callable of united action for peace and the future. I liis bonk tells [he storv of the life oi Wake Forest students during this college year. But there appear bet ween the lines of this book, as there appealed behind the scenes of our life this year, signs of a growing college and a chang- ing world.
