With the enrollment of Hardin-Simmons increas- ing every month at the battle front and with an ever lengthening column of the sons and daughters of H-SU marching in training and to ports of embarka- tion, it has been your patriotic duty to carry on here. This has been a difficult and disturbing time for such an assignment, for a thousand distractions and fanciful emotions have crowded in on your minds. But your high morale and the spirit with which you have punctuated this historic year are in keeping with the best traditions of the Old School, and I believe the men and the women who are in the thick of the fight will be proud of the chapter in Hardin-Simmons' history that you have written. Sincerely, W. T. WALTON, Assistant to the President and Acting Dean oi Students To the Students: I wish to express to you my sincere appreciation for the wholesome manner in which you have faced the problems pf these abnormal times. You have been called upon to give up much that the student in normal times received; the spirit with which you surrendered some of your expected privileges has matched the spirit which has sent more than 1,200 Hardin-Simmons Exes into the Armed Forces. Your Alma Mater is grateful. L. O. CAMPBELL. W. A. STEPHENSON Assistant Dean To the Students of Hardin-Simmons University: Greetings to all of you! You have had a great part in making this year what it has been. You have done well. You have formed many lasting friendships. You have acquired knowledge and skills that will fit you for a greater place of service to your country and to your respective communities. Those of you who are leaving us now because of graduation should send us someone to take your places. We will be looking for the rest of you back next year and we hope you will bring someone with you. I have enjoyed knowing everyone of you and it has been a pleasure to serve you in a small way this year. Sincerely, W. A. STEPHENSON.

These are great days! Days of sorrow, joy, dis- tress, courage! With gratitude to our teaching staff and fine stu- dent body, we can boast that our School of Music is continuing to go forward in the broad field of Music Education. We have had sorrow in the loss of certain ones, joy in good news from others, distress with no news at all. Now we must have courage. We are living in the greatest country in the world. These are great days! E. EDWIN YOUNG, Dean of Music. Young women who have elected to go to college now should be able to face more satisfactorily war and post-war readjustments. Your success depends upon your aptitude and application during your col- lege career. May your college days be happy and profitable for fuller living. MARY E. HEAD. It has been a pleasure to have you as students during the current school year. You have helped us maintain a good institution. You can continue to help us by maintaining your interest in the Uni- versity, and by supporting it in every possible way. The fact that you are leaving school permanently or temporarily does not mean that you are severing your relationship with the University. Our interest will follow you through the years. It is our hope that you may have every possible suc- E. W. LEDBETTER, Secretary-Treasurer. E. W. LEDBETTER Secretary-Treasurer
