CARTI-LAGE COLLE Memotial Dotmifom, $01; 772m I am glad to hring greetings through this new Rambler. The Juniors deserve congratulations for their faith in reviving the Carthage College annual for this 75th anniversary. At this Jubilee commencement, we rejoice in Allied Victory in Europe and in the hope of early peace throughout the world. We long to see our 13,000,000 Ameri- can men and women back at their homes, Schools and colleges. May God grant them safe and speedy return' The return of our brave defenders will find college facilities inadequate Same leaders have estimated that college and university enrollment after this war may well be three times as great as in pre-war days. Should that be the case at Carthage, the need of additional facilities is apparent. As one step in providing for our returning men, we have this year conducted a vigorous campaign for funds with which to erect a new dormitory for men. 015 the goal, $180,000, we are happy to announce that $130,000 has already been com- mitted. We press on to the full goal that an adequate dormitory building may be dedicated to the honor of our brave defenders. This building is to be fireproof, spacious, and to provide the most up-to-date facilities found in residence hall con-- struction. Today, its Memorial Dormitory for the Diamond Jubilee. Other milestones will lead us to our Centennial. EIGHI
