INDIANA STATE . . . almanaZ 0.65 Education In an era when the elemental values and the culture of mankind are threatened, the functions of a college are the pillars of man,s hope and faith. Upon the success of these functions depends the moral fibre and wisdom of the generation that must uphold right. To instill in young men and women a spirit of cooperation, a consciousness of social courtesies, a tolerance and appreciation of the viewpoint of others. . . . these are the obligations of a college. They are the same in war as in peacetime; the necessity for instilling these concepts is even more Vital to the college in wartime. While preparing for useful lives in the future, Indiana State is training young people for the part they must play now in winning the war. Our school symbolizes the essential role every institution of higher learning must accept in the world today. . . . it is an Arsenal of Education. ROBERTA PRIOR AND JOHN FOXWORTHY, A. S.

.20. Quality, 30- betudento . . . Za. 9ndiana betate In 1944, State men and women found their ordered lives upset, looked beyond the present to the futuree questioningly, yet confident that a better world will be built upon such stuff as the college is made of. It is to these intangible values. . . . ideals, ideas, information, insight, inspiration. . . . to the members of the faculty, to the students who will leave the campus as the adults of tomorrow, and to the college itself as an arsenal of education, that we dedicate the 1944 SYCA: MORE. There are those educators and student leaders who deserve individual recognition, but it is fundamentally a group of people at work doing the ordinary things in life. . . . sometimes in an unusual manner, but more often in the everyday way which makes a college a vital, living thing.
