As incongruous as the installation of a night club i n East College was the January arrival of a naval unit in Greencastle, where the largest bodies of water are founcJ on sidewalks and shower room floors. Happily, the two hundred cadets in Lieutenant Dodge s initial brood and the others that arrived in later months were not interested primarily in nautical matters. Theirs was a pre-flight unit. Aside from their marching and cadence counting, so well-known to College Street residents, the pre-flight boys spent long hours in Asbury classrooms. The unit had adopted the Good Ship Asbury ' for academics as it hod Longden and Florence Halls, Locust Manor, and the Delta Chi house for living quarters.

Although the Fighting was far away, DePauw was surrounded by the war. The campus, from President Wildman to the giddiest freshman in the Quadrangle, was war-conscious this year. Opening the year with a war stamp campaign, the students worked into bigger things, ringing up bond sales in the thousands by auctioning Footballs, shocking corn For labor-starved farmers, and sending some thirty gallons of DePauw blood to the Indianapolis blood bank. The curriculum reflected the war spirit with courses in nautical astronomy and navigation. Adjustments, due to the installation of the naval unit, included 7:30 classes and juggled classrooms. Male students participated in an ambitious calisthenics program and hurried to enlist in reserve corps. One oF the war ' s biggest inroads was the February summons oF the Army Air Corps, which mustered Forty-one men into basic training. 18 .jEAazzx BTSBBSra ' .■ r;i.lMi«,.Mvr ' .. , ' ' - ' »♦-■ • » ■ ' 7» ' '
