ganized troop, charging the elusive digits and wresting from them the answers to our many problems. The first year of our campaign was most successful, although forty-two of our fellow-students fell by the wayside. Gradually we were assimilated into the life of Columbus University so that by the end of the year we were seasoned veterans, able to cope with the problems of the Junior year ahead. Undaunted by the loss of our comrades, one hundred of us marched into the second year of our campaign with excellent morale and high hopes. The going was more diiiicult here with new obstacles and unexpected problems. It was at this point that Professor Townsend joined us. Under such capable generalship we were able to conquer the barriers that faced us in this field. Across the treacherous No Manjs Land we struggled: facing a terrific barrage of questions in Corporation Accounting. In this very vulnerable position, we should have faltcred but for the stimulus and incentive given us by Professors Bernstein and Yates. With their help we survived this encounter and advanced toward the seemingly impregnable salient of Financial Organization and Management. Here, too, we were fortunate in having Professor Brassor, who took com- plete charge of our maneuvers and guided us through with flying colors. Professor Tupper marched along with us, expounding the importance of the law of averages in Business Statistics. And so we came to the end of our second campaign, almost intact with only ten more casualties amongst our midst. After the brief respite of summer vacation, we examined the record of our struggle and made plans for our Hnal battle. Our efforts were beginning to bear fruit now and we knew that hard work and courage would help us to achieve our ultimate goal. At last we reached the greatest objective of cur long journey-our Senior Year- still ever encouraged and advised by our old friends, Dean Cushman, Assistant Dean Ryan and Professor Gillis. At this strategic point, we were also joined by Professor Novick who, though new to us, was Wise in the ways of Economics, and by Professor Atkinson and Professor McHugh, who patiently poured into our weary minds such weighty matters as Cost Accounting and Income Tax. But we took them all in our stride, until one fine morning we beheld the bright dawn of Victory. Across the heavens were emblazoned the prophetic words Ad Astra per Castraf' Our battle was won! Our hearts were filled with happiness! Our reward: the knowledge that our task was completed and our work well done! And so as we disband to go our separate ways to take our rightful place in the great world of business, the Class of 1940 wishes to thank Dean Cushman for his under- standing and interest in the University and its students. To all the rest of our professors, whose problems probably have been difficult, we offer heart-felt thanks and bid a regret- ful farewell. To our class ofhcers: Mr. Francis J. Caton, President, Mr. Joseph L. Adeski, Vice-Presidentg Miss Lillian Hoy, Secretaryg and Mr. George S. McKenzie, Treasurerg and to Mr. Henry E. Lubanski, editor of our year-book, we also offer our many thanks. To Bill Crum and Buddy Lazear, who performed admirably on the box- ing team, we bid adieu, and to the members of our Class, Aloha. The associations of the past three years have been most happy. We wish and hope for each of us, success, happiness, good health and the realization of all our ambitions.

Bravely we rallied under the competent leadership of the eminent Dean Cushman and his capable legal aide, Dean Ryan, assisted by Professors Gillis and Mitchell. Under their able discipline we developed from raw recruits into a Well or- Pagv S1'1'w1ly-four
