2) edicatian Three and a half long, hard years of war cannot pass without imposing upon civilization a heavy penalty. Nations must suffer directly and indirectly. The cost of war can be calculated in terms of dollars but the price of human sacrifice is unfathomable. We know that war is not the result of reasoning but the tool of a few who hope to usurp fortunes and kingdoms at the point of the sword. It is unfortunate that so many innocent and peace-loving people should have to suffer because of war—but so long as there is hate and not love, we shall have to contend with the evils of war. To those fellows who have put aside their schoolbooks for implements of war, not willingly, but because the call of duty was greater than personal gain . . . and to those who gave “their last full measure of devotion” on some far-flung battlefield . . . we humbly dedicate the 1945 Echoes. “ . . . and that we here highly resolve that these honored d ead shall not have died in vain . . . ” -LINCOLN

Q. 9. feill o-jj RiXfJdi Already the war has ended for thousands of soldiers who have been discharged from the Service. Many things are being done for these returning soldiers, but perhaps the most important is the “G.I. Bill of Rights,” which entitles the veteran to an education at govern¬ ment expense. Some of these veterans have already taken advantage of the benefits offered them and have found their way to Anderson College. What finer place could the ex-serviceman choose in which to resume his education than Anderson College? The warmth of a Christian college and the wholesome fellowship with our youth combined with the excellent courses offered at Anderson College give us a top-ranking priority in the field of education for the veteran. To those who are eligible now, and to those who will be eligible when their job is finished, Anderson College opens its doors and says, “Welcome, G. I. Joe!” . . and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any 9 9 more. —MICAH
