About a thousand students have taken ad- vantage of the all college lecture series, the Citizen and the World Crisis, sponsored by the Science Division. Wendel Willkie, 1 940 presidential candidate, started the series by urging that students remain at their studies until called for other duties. He said it was the duty of every citizen to remain at his job and do it better than ever before. Today, he went on, people of this nation realize that defeating another nation and then demand- ing reparations and indemnity are a sure road to further wars. Only by free exchange of ideas and goods can we hope for peace. With 80 percent of the instructors in the Science Division, tlie burden of the new de- fense courses shifted to the departments of the division. 26
