As men and women left for service or defense positions, faculty members assisted them to complete their academic work. Arrangements were made which allowed partial credits for short tearm attendance. With other colleges and junior colleges men, when they return to college or when they are eligible for graduation, Chaf- fy faculty and administration voted to allow a number of credits for six months active service in the army.
