fayette Colle e of Mr. Ario Pardee, however, kept the rapidly growing school on its course. In 1865, the College established the Engineering Department, which was in addition to the already existing Arts and Science schools. During the first World War, the campus was a veritable armed camp as students and administration contributed unselfishly, as they are doing now, to the war effort. Since the World War, Lafayette has grown rapidly and has taken her position as one of the foremost colleges of the state. The presence of such scholars as Francis A. March and many others, has done much for the growth of prestige. Lafayette now is an institution to be envied and respected. She has a beautiful hillside campus, overlooking the Delaware River and the thriving town of Easton. On this campus are attractive fraternity houses, beautiful lawns, wellfplanned athletic systems, two well' stocked libraries, and an expanding dormitory system, which is now used to house soldiers. The Class of 1944 will be the third war class to be graduated. Most of its members are already in the service, and many graduates are headed for the armed forces after graduation. It is now more than two years since that Sunday at Pearl Harbor. These two years have not been easy ones. They have seen many changes at Lafayette, some of which will continue in effect after the termination of the war, and others which will be eliminated for a return to normalcy. Despite these difficulties, which are infinitesimal when compared with those which some Lafayette men are enduring in the war, most of us will look back on our days at Lafayette with nostalgic pleasure. For Lafayette is not merely a place where we acquire some knowledge. It is a part of us for life. -:gl page ninr 194-
