ALMA MATER . . .The Hastings College of last September contrasts sharply with the campus we know this spring: Accelerated quarter system classes five days a week instead of three curtailed va- cations . hard study and work ... an Army training detachment on the campus Bellevue House a home for aviators and soldiers . . . Alexander Hall an Army barracks . . . Clarke Hall the new home of the conservatory . . . alterations for Air Crew classes . laboratories and classrooms enlarged . khaki- clad men marching in formation to classes taught by faculty members — These changes describe the camp- us during 1942-43 — but above all this, the friendliness and hospitality characteristic of HC still pervade the atmosphere of the campus. 5 —
