Foreword Reconversion—postwar problems—readjustment of veterans; these phrases arc heard with such frequency that their sound is familiar even though the significance may escape. But does the gravity of the subject merit all the talk? Considered objectively, Carnegie Tech’s problems arc nothing spectacular—very routine, in fact, except that they involve almost exclusively that subject of much conversation, the veteran. Three thousand selected students, largely veterans, pose new problems; finding space, for instance, both for them to live in and learn in. But the diligence of the Dean’s office solved this problem shortly. New faculty members combined with astute scheduling and room arrangement, facilitated the customary smooth functioning of classes. Our ratio of men to women has broken all recent records; once again the Drama Department can double-cast all the male roles in any play it selects for Little Theater presentation. And as further indications of the return to normalcy, Scotch and Soda is back, we have a football team again, and the registration line is longer than ever. Anyone concerned over how to behave around the returned veteran need not worry here; unless you shrewdly observe the uncertain indication given by parts of uniforms or search diligently for discharge buttons, the difference will be inscrutable to you. The things that set them apart are the rarely obvious aue differences and the quite encouraging and less conspicuous higher grade average. So, as you look through this book, see if there is any clue to the fact that most of the people represented have recently returned to a civilized state of existence. This is our way of saving the war is over, and that jjcople are people no matter what time of the century it is.
