VVHEN the com placent existence of peace is shattered by war, man must summon all his knowledge to cope with the inevitable problems which arise. Wisdom, his tool in re- building the world and molding a better civilization, must be practical and scholarly. Centenary, as other colleges throughout the land, has modified and reshaped its curric- ulum so that its students, who are to take their places in the life of a na- tion just a few years hence, will be ready to shoulder the task before them. The training of cadets for the Army Air Forces, the preparation of young women for the nursing pro- fession, as well as the training of men and women for technical posi- tions in war industries — these con- tributions are small as compared to the accomplishments and sacrifices of those engaged in actual combat. In tribute to a year of service and fidelity, the 1945 Yoncopin presents a record of Centenary ' s achieve- ments as seen thru the camera ' s eye.

Smith, the Centenary College Board of Trustees voted these three beloved professors the rank of Professor Emeritus.
