D E D I C A T I About to leave an institution devoted to knowledge and the preservation of life, we ironically see the very things we have strived to perpetuate being torn down and humbled. It is truly a lamentable state of affairs but neither self pity nor a spirit of hopelessness will remedy the situation. The turbulent state of the world today presents a challenge to us who are emigrating from the secure portals of school into a dynamic society that demands a prodigious expenditure of courage, foresight and sacrifice if our generation and future generations are to be progressive. Some of us will enter the armed forces, many will serve in civilian capacities, and others will perform voluntary forms of war work. The nature of the work does not matter, for however small and insignificant our individual contri- butions may seem, their combined efforts will produce the force and intensity of a raging river fed by small streams and gentle brooks. We dedicate this book to the war effort . . . secure in the belief that only through the concentration of our forces can we reach that sublime moment which will declare our freedom from madness, and destruction and death. The restoration of a normal America shall be our ultimate goal.
