N FOR VICVI ORY. Spring of Nineteen Hundred Forty One . . . Laughter, gaiety, parties. A carefree spirit surrounded a peace-time college campus. Social activities . . . the tri-annuals and the spring formals . . . Spring of Nineteen Hundred Forty Two . . . War has been declared but still there were no evidences of that world turmoil here on our still peaceful campus. True, we limited our social activities, but not to any great extent. We still held our formals and banquets in Chicago. The fact that we. the United States, were a part of that world conflict. had not yet been realized. Spring of Nineteen hundred Forty Three . . . A nation at war. Great changes. We are no longer the peaceful college campus that we were a year or two ago. No matter which way we turn we see evidences of change. We have changed from an institution set apart to a group of students and professors working toward a common goal. Navy pilots are now living in what was once the independent mens' dormitory. New professors replaced those who have gone into service. Ensigns living on campus. Army and Navy reserve programs instituted, a Red Cross blood doner unit set up on campus, the opening of specialized war courses, military drill, war discussion groups organized, and limited social activities have all become part of the new picture.
