eampus life in 1944 was centered in three phases. Of first importance was the more serious side, the academic. as Problems of administration and classes were complicated by a multitude of war difficulties, and were made more acute by the challenges of post-war planning. ' aes Never' beforelwere graduates so keenly aware of the value of college training as were the ninety-four seniorswho approached June commence- ment. They represented the more fortunate among the many who had started down the path of higher learning, but now find themselves at the far cornersof the globe. 9 n outstanding phase of this radically different year, the military program, deserved undeniably the second chapter of this record. H As part of a huge national training program, V-12 and V-5 units contributed a vital part of the record that was 1944. Adjusting the civilian program both educationally and socially to meet the demands of the military was a Univer- sity challenge which was effectively met. If These pro- grams were a contributing factor not only to the continuance of the best in University life, but to the development of the University materially and the enlargement of its vision in ap- proaching post-war readjustments. ky!-4 .nie third chapter of the year's story deals with an extra curricular program redesigned to meet the demands of an unusual year. an The coming of the military to the Univer- sity created needs for a different type of recreational program, one fitted to the rather complex needs of both service and civilian students. as Organizations enlarged their programs to include practical current trends in many fields, while soror- ities and fraternities found and solved new problems of group interest. as To strive to' preserve the social traditions of three decades and simultaneously alter the program to meet current demands iwas the problem of campus living.
