Di. Tuckeis Tftessacje: During the depression years I was fond of quoting the saying of some unknown philosopher, “It is not that times are so hard, but that men and women have grown so soft.” That saying was true to only a limited extent then, for that period with its clouds of discouragement was filled with myriads of heroic and self-sacrificing men and women along with the comparatively few softies who couldn’t take it. And now when cruel, all-out war has again come to Ameri- ca, we daily witness the heroism of this supposedly soft genera- tion. Quietly, with no hysterics, but bravely and determinedly we see our young men deserting class room and play ground and entering the service of their country, and th; girls and boys who remain are shouldering the burdens and obligations of carrying on our civilization for which the others fight. Our history can show no finer record of cool and calm patriotism. Not only do I lift my hat in admiration to them, but I bow my head in reverent thankfulness for the boys and girls of 1941-42. God Bless America—and you! E. B. Tucker Di. Juandolt's Tflessa e: Austin College is rapidly shaping all its energies of Facul- ty, Administration, and Student Body toward winning the war. This gearing into the Defense Program has been a rapid one. We have had little time and few resources to plan much for the future since the historic decision to keep and maintain Austin College as Austin College at Sherman. The return to graduate work has been a step forward. The addition of many defense courses for the Summer Session will be of ex- treme importance. The war has placed us in a position which will permit us only to dream until it is over. Two objectives shape them- selves very forcibly in our dreams: THE COMPLETION OF THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING AND FULL MEMBERSHIP IN THE SOUTHERN ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES. George L. Landolt, Vice-President and Business Manager.
