IDE LEflRn REUl UlflyS Wofford boys get acquainted with Junior College girls. After a few weeks a casual observer at either institution would not have suspected that the Wofford students were aliens. Our beloved forrr er Dean Dr. A. M. DuPre conducted the last chapel ceremony at Wofford. He renninded the Wofford men of their rich heritase of tradition and called on them to conduct themselves at their new places of learning as true gentlemen should. Every student felt the solemnness of the occasion as, to the strains of the Alma Mater, we marched out of the chapel for perhaps our last time as students of Wofford. The Wofford Campus now resounds with the beat of marching feet and singing voices as the Air Corps men go to and from classes. As true Wofford sons we of course miss our school, but we were glad to give her up as part of our contribution toward winning the war. Loading up the bus after drill for the trip home.

m I L I T fl R y Twenty -three years ago Dr. Snyder; now president emeritus of Wofford College, was instrunnental in bringing to the campus our Senior Reserve Officers ' Training Corps. Since that time some seven hundred men have received com- missions as officers, scores of whom are now serving in our armed forces all over the world. Wofford ' s contribu- tion of leadership in the present emergency more than justifies Dr. Snyder ' s sustaining faith in the value of military training at Wofford. Pride and the desire to emulate the achievements of those who have gone before inspire the entire cadet corps to a seriousness of purpose which has resulted in the units being rated excellent for the past several years.
