A gripping interest in those young men whose classroom chairs are now vacant, and a willing sacrifice of our personal ambitions and interests to national neces- sities are but a part of the under-current which has altered the determined, vivacious, collegiate life at Bryan University. We feel that the task of this year ' s staff is the incorpo- ration into the following pages of this altered life together with the presentation of the compelling motivation of us all— VICTORY. And now — happy browsing. V.._ BRYAN UNIVERSITY LIBRARY THE COMMONER 1943 Published by THE JUNIOR CLASS WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN UNIVERSITY Dayton, Tennessee V... Hfedfr DEDICATION . . . Life itself is great. Honor is greater still. To those Bryan Boys who have willingly sacrificed their pre- ferred way of life to uphold the honor of our country, who on the battle-fronts and in the camps throughout the world have earned admirable achievements, to each and every one of these fellows in service with the armed forces of the United States of America — sin- gularly represented by Captain Dwight W. Ryther of the United States Army — we proudly dedicate this the eleventh volume of the COMMONER. V... THE CHALLENGE FOR VICTORY To All Who Love God: WAR! But, we are not at the mercy of blind chance nor a victim of circumstances over which we have no control. With a God who makes all things work together for our good, we are challenged to take advan- tage of war-time opportunities for national, institutional and personal blessing. We avoided war. When forced on us, we sought to go on in spite of war-time conditions. But now, we are beginning to look for the blessings that God has for His own in a time of war. For us, war-time years need not be lost. But if they are not to be lost, we must buy up present opportunities. Have you looked to God to rule and over-rule in your life? Have you found Him the God that is able? War is discipline, individually and collec- tively, for wrong doing and neglected responsibilities. Have you admitted — have you confessed your guilt? Have you pleaded the blood of Jesus Christ for your sins? Are you learning to endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ? Is your heart more tender? Can you make more sacrifices gladly for the love of Jesus Christ? Are you learning to scorn a life of laziness, luxury, and laxity? Are you learning submission and obedience? Have you found the joy of doing God ' s will no matter what the cost of obedience? Lastly, are you yearning for the days of Peace, when you will have an opportunity to do those things you lacked the faith to do, the courage and the will to do, when you had the opportunity? War will be a curse or a blessing to you. Which shall it be? As a nation and as individuals, life and death, good and evil are set before us today. In our own strength we are helpless, but in Christ all things are possible. God help us to choose the way of faith and life. Earnestly yours. President ... ADMINISTRATION V FACULTY JUDSON A.
