TOaTHE STUDENTS OF 1942-43: There has been no student body in Abilene Christian Col- lege during the twenty-one years that I have been privileged to know A. C. C. that I have admired more than you who have been on our campus this year, 1942-43. The fortitude with which you have faced the peculiar un- certainties of the time, which are affecting your very lives, has been remarkable. The resolution with which you have lived, carried on your academic work, and entered into your student activities, in spite of circumstances, and even in spite of the mistakes we all might have made, will, without doubt, strengthen you and stand you in good stead in the years to come. I pray that God may bless each of you, and my hope is that each one of you may in the future diligently seek after Him through His Son. It is the sincere wish of all of us who work at Abilene Christian College that, whether you return here for school or not, we may have the opportunity of helping you in any time of need. Do not forget that Abilene Christian College is your school mother. Your friend DON H. MORRIS President
