your It is to Professor William E. Weisgerber that this book is dedicated. Professor Weisgerber is a man who shows those qualities which should be the possession of every college professor. l-le is a master of the chemistry which he teaches. I-le is sincere, as few professors are, in his desire to impart knowledge. He is a counsellor to be heeded by those who have a goal in life, and to be avoided by slackers. I-le is an American and is proud to be an American, notable in times when colleges are accused of un-Americanism. A firm advocate of the hard-work road to success, Professor Weisgerber himself travelled along this road to become the man that he is.

BEAUTY OF CRISIS For the first time since 1918 the College graduation exercises will be held on a stage overlooking the theatre of war. For the first time since 1918 young men are grirnly watching the race between graduation and con- scription. For the first time since 1918 the ranks of the Blue and White are being depleted to build the ranks of the olive drab. For the first time since 1918 careers are being leveled to a Common Denominator. For the first time since 1918 the cap and gown will be but the academical measure of the national gear of the United States. For the first time since 1918 the peoples of the United States have fused into cr people for the United States. For the first time since 1918 . . . men of this continent can look about them and see the ultimate beauty . . . the beauty of man. W. M. KEP1-IART
