ARMSTRONG JUNIOR COLLEGE OF SAVANNAH GEORGIA OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT March 24, 1942 To the Students of Armstrong Jiinior College: It has been our fortune to be thrown together here at the Junior College during one of the momentous years of world history. I feel that your conduct has been exemplary as you have neither been guilty of hysteria nor apathy. Most of you are taking your work more seriously, and that is one of the finest contribu- tions you can possibly make to the war effort. A hasty check reveals that approximately eighty former students are participating in the war through the military services of the United States, A large n mber of this group have received their commissions, or are studying for their commissions. Specialists as well as soldiers are needed, and here again Armstrong is doing its part by training students in basic college work. Many more of us will be called to serve our country in the months to come — women as well as men. I feel certain that the Armstrong crowd will serve their co mtry just a little better than they would have if they had never known Armstrong. Cordiallv.yours, y ii H... C fizJ n J, Thomas Askew, President. jta b
