i ASSISTANTS ELSA G. BECKER The war progresses and calls info ifs ranlcs fhe young men and women of America. Our four grad- uafing classes since Pearl Harbor have swelled fhose ranlcs in fhe armed forces on land and sea and in fhe air, in war services and indusfries, and in essen- fial pursuifs on fhe home fronf. Long cherished plans for higher educafion and chosen careers have had fo be laid aside fo awaif fhe longed-for days of peace. The quief courage fhaf has accompanied fhis relinquishmenf affesfs fo fhe realisfic aecepf- ance of a difficulf iob fo be done, and fo fhe promise of heroism in finishing fhaf iob. Of fhis we, your elders, who have shared your deliberafions, are cerfain. We have no reason fo fear fhaf summer soldiers or sunshine pafriofs will be found among you, because we lcnow how much fhe goal which exacfs so much suffering and sacri- fice means fo you. Our hope is fhaf you will never lose sighf of fhaf goal, which is nofhing less fhan fhe spirifual redeeming of our civilizafion. Posf-war weariness and disillusionmenf fend fo dim fhe vision and relax fhe spirif. Wifh fhe refurn fo peace will come fhe need for courage even greafer fhan fhaf demanded by war, for if will be unaccompanied by fhe sfimulus of milifary discipline and clearly dis- cernible vicfories. Lef us pray fhaf our boys and girls will bring fo fhe posf war period fhe same singleness of aim and fighfing spirif fhaf is now winning fhe war for freedom. ELSA G. BECKER
