George W. Boyle A.M., Northwestern University- Assistant to the President THE presidential year 1941-2 proved to be a year unparalleled in activity any time in the College ' s seventy-two year history. Autumn session had hardly started when the Navy, learning of the Bartky organizing ability, appointed him civilian director of the then-projected Navy Pier Aviation School. Accepting this non-salaried position. Dr. Bartky directed construction, selected necessary per- sonnel and had the school turning out 1500 mechanics monthly before turning over his job to navy officials on March 1. Taking unfair advantage of the president ' s preoccupation, pressure groups early in 1942 demanded closing the College as a wartime economy measure. In spite of pressing affairs at the Pier, Bartky led a forceful campaign against such a move, decrying at January commencement those who are willing to sell out their teachers for thirty pieces of silver. Net result was that the Board of Education passed a rather generous 1942 College budget. Spring saw Bartky back on campus doing yeoman service to coordinate the College ' s war efforts, never losing sight, however, of his firm belief that with teachers — the moulders of tomorrow ' s America — lies the task of pre- serving America ' s democratic ideals. His chief step in the program of coopera- tion with the war effort was the dismissal of College classes for one full week during regis- tration for sugar-rationing. At this time the entire College personnel was dispatched throughout the city to serve as registrars. At that time Bartky declared that the war effort superseded the importance of uninter- rupted education. He expressed the belief that nothing, be it educational or personal, could be construed as being a priority over the doing of one ' s duty to save that democracy, which, among other things, makes a free pub- lic school system possible.
