in our studies or go to worlc in an airplane factory-has been sympa- thetically discussed by our faculty. They have given advice freely but have let us make our own decisions. VVC have needed help in planning schedules and careers, and we have been glad to find that our busiest pro- fessors could take time to deliberate over the respective merits of Fine Arts ll and Music 5. The cooperative democratic spirit of our faculty has never been better exemplihed than in planning Goucher's war-time policy. Students joined with the college personnel in determining our shortened third term and no summer session. This was not done through authoritative fiat, but by democratic decision of an intellectual group. Seeing our professors take their place as members of the civic com- munity has been a pleasure this year as before. Their lectures concerning South America, backgrounds of the war, and hopes for peace have made our city better informed and consequently better able to cope with new situations. Their publications have added to the world's scientific and scholarly achievements, and some Crara avisj have appealed to the man in the street. Several publications have been nationally recognized. 'XVe have been more than proud to boast of Miss XVinslow's winning of the Pulitzer Prize for jonathan Edwards and the enthusiastic reviews of Miss Blanchard's edition of Steele's correspondence. The work of our faculty for better housing, improved labor conditions, and peace have also been important contributions to our community. From our four-year association with these fine scholars we learn much. From their precepts we get a great body of fact. Most of all, from their example we gain an appreciation of life lived in fullness. Their stability in disturbance, their eagerness for truth, and their appreciation of beauty are to us models calling for emulation. lack will not be made a dull boy so long as the tradition of Student'Faculty games is maintained.
