WE WHOM IT CCNCERNS EN before our time were trained to enter the vast, complex system we call the World to, in some Way, be of use in the functioning of the system. Today our purpose is destruction. We are to become part of an almost completely enveloping chaos. Why is this happening? lVhat does it mean? We believe that we are fighting for a purpose, that we must fight, that we want to fight. We believe that more is at stake than the preservation of a life we enjoy. l'Ve feel that, as a nation, We are joined with other nations to resist and eventually destroy a powerful but baser philosophy. This philosophy does not recognize a beneficent God, the glory of man, or man's freedom. That is why we fight. Because we are right and believe in our tenets above all things, we are sure that some day We must win. When that day comes, We rvill at the same time finish and begin our great work. The destruction of what ive believe is evil will have been accomplished. Then it will be for us to firmly establish and Watch over a World directed toward the high and profound values for which many of us shall have perished. lVhen the great struggle fnally fades away and the moment when we must assert these things which are right and best comes, it will be our heavy responsibility to assert them truthfully and clearly. In this great beginning which it will be for us to make, there can be no narrozvness of spirit or of comprehension, for we shall not be charged with acting for ourselves but for civilization.

By combining a deep personal interest in our welfare with his academic contribution, each of these men merited the special recognition accorded them in this, our book of memories of a year at Haverford. President Felix Nlorley not only arranged for the unit to come to Haverford, but also elfectively integrated it into the life of the college. Dr. C. B. Allendoerfer served both as an excellent teacher of Vectorial Nlechan- ics and as Academic Director, in which posi- tion he zealously guarded our interests. Dr. Richard Sutton will he remembered not only as a skillful Physics instructor and capable administrator as Academic Director, but also as a warm friend of the men. Dr. Albert H. NVilson, deservedly beloved member of the faculty, enriched his great teaching effective- ness with a warmth and sympathy which will long he remembered. For the presence, per- sonal interest and generosity of all four we are all deeply grateful. Dr. Albert H. Wilson Dr. Carl B. Allendoerler
