On the surface, the 1942-43 session of Wofford College opened nearly as usual. Boys swarnned into the dornnitories, greeted old friends, unpacked, registered, nnatriculated, were examiined, and then set out for a show or date before settling down to studies. But underneath there was a current of seriousness which had not been present in previous sessions. The more mature-minded of the student body realized the seriousness of this crisis in human affairs and had returned to school only because they believed that by doing s o they were better preparing themselves for a part in the nation ' s war effort. Many of us have brothers and friends fighting in various parts of the world. This year we come to school with a new pur- pose and a new determination; that those who have died and those who will die in this war shall not die in vain.
