Educators of Tom When enrolling, students of this college pledge themselves to become educators of tomorrow. Such a pledge is doubly made in 1944. Surely no finer service to a nation at war than to secure the safety and intelligent thinking of its future citizens could be found. Dr. Uhler and many of the faculty have frequently reminded the students, especially the seniors, of the tremendous need for leaders and teachers in the schools of this state which has established such opportunities for teacher education and training as Indiana holds. The chaotic world offers no small challenge to future teachers; promises for these teachers are few, but hopes are high. The college and administration are justly proud of Indiana ' s contribution to the educational profession as well as the fine young men and women of this school who serve on the military front.
