Y. W. C. A, Council To adjust freshmen to campus life, the Y. W. C. A. sponsored the Big-Little Sister program, under the direction of Beverly Wescott. This program of orientation meet- ings and social gatherings quickly succeeded in fitting freshmen into the pattern of life at Lindenwood. In the fall, the Y. W. C. A. sponsored the annual freshmen style show at which the student body elected Betty Shook Hallowe'en Queen. So that children at Markham Memorial might have dolls for Christmas, the Y. W. C. A. held a doll contest between the several halls. Irwin Hall girls contributed the most dolls, but all students gave generously to this collection. Guest speakers included: Dr. Sherwood Eddy, who spoke on A Christian Post- War VVorld, Mr. Nat Mazumdar, who spoke about conditions in India, and Miss Alex- andra Feldman, who discussed the World Student Service Fund. l The Conference on Religion, conducted by the Y. W. C. A. and the Advisory Com- mittee on Religion, chose as its theme Chris- tian Pioneering in a New World. During this conference, Dr. George Sweazy spoke on The Pioneer's Home Base,', Dr. Hampton Adams and Father F. J. O,Hern spoke on similar themes at our vesper symposium. OFFICERS President ....

6 X g X ff , 1- ,B KGMEN DO NOT live by bread alonef' We are fighting this War for spiritual and intellectual freedom as Well as for our economic interests. The nations of the world, geared to the business of destruction, must needs neglect their cultural activities. Fortunately, since War in its most violent aspects has not affected our land, We still have time and strength to devote to the preservation of culture. It is our responsibility to keep alive for the entire World that cultural heritage. In post-war reconstruction we shall need better international understanding and sympathy. Knowledge of the arts and sciences, to which men of all nations have contributed, will help us gain that understanding and sympathy. Since specialization increases as world living becomes more complex, it becomes ever more important to have general knowledge of all fields, that We may choose our special interest more intelligently. By studying liberal arts, We shall form a philosophy of life from sources all over the World. We shall lead our nation and other nations toward a way of life in which all may live peaceably.
