Thomas P. Nokth Dean of liistniiiiiiii To THE Members of the War Class of 1945: Your college years have been among the greatest history-making years this world has ever experienced. During these years a large, but little known world, has shrunk to a world, the farthest point of which is relatively only a few hours distance. Already you speak of the hump ' between India and China, or of Leyte or some other once unknown place more intelligently than your parents did before the war of our own Rock Mountains or Oklahoma. Three of the major factors in your success or failure during these short years have been War, Change, and Adjustment. War brought to you a depletion of your ranks and regrettable sorrows. It brought numerous changes in your routine ways of living, in your class schedules, and in your programs. Instead of attending four years, many of you have adjusted your economy and energies to the accelerated program, whereby you have completed the requirements of a four-year curriculum in less than three calendar years. The vicissitudes you have ex]jerienced and the adjustments resulting from them have lieen not without values. One of the greatest of these has been the development of ability to cope successfully with change. In the final analysis, a person ' s education is dependent not only on his degree of ada|)tability, but is conditioned by the extent to which he is able to surmount his adversities. We sincerely hope that these influences have greatly fortified you for a life of progress in an ever changing civilization. 11
