Shortly after V-J Day, long- a W a i t e d recognition as a teachers college was accorded Gorham. This action of the trustees symbolized the inaug- uration ol a postwar program for the development of teacher education. Plans are already drawn for a line new indus- trial arts building and there is talk of a new men's dormi- tory, long needed. This need was pointed by the steady return during the Fall semester of Gorham men who had completed their ser- vice in the Army and Navy and sought to complete their studies which the war had in- terrupted. They came back in twos and threes, feeling at lirst that they were older and that the cam- pus had changed, wondering if they would fit in as they had before they experienced war. ln amazingly few days they proved themselves, without ex- ception, abler in classroom work because of their added maturity, and happy back at the old college.
