each knee. There were no civilian school activities of any type. The spring term of ' 44 saw the end of the Navy Program which had trained 643 men from all parts of the U.S. That summer, Professor Bachmann re- tired as Head of the Design Department to be succeeded by Professor Rosatto. During July, ' 44, an Engineering, Science and Management War Training Program, sponsored by the U.S. Office of Education and under the able direction of Professor Wells, was instituted. Its purpose was to give further technical training to technicians in war industries to enable them to increase their skills in their present job. This training was tuition-free and on college level. The teaching was done by professors at Textile during their spare time in the evenings. This program was concluded on June 22, 1945.- In the fall of ' 44 an even smaller number of students return ed to school. At the end of the spring term of ' 45, President Eames retired to be succeeded by Kenneth Fox, a graduate of the class of ' 38. At the same time, Professor Olney retired as Head of the Chemistry Depart- ment to be succeeded by Professor Fickett. The fall of ' 45 saw the conclusion of the war and the return of the veterans with a re-vitalization of school activities, such as basketball. By the end of the first term, so many veterans had applied for entrance that a special Freshman class was started on January 14, 1946, which was continued through the summer. During 1946, the following teachers returned to the Institute from active military service: Professor Chace, Pro- fessor Edlund, Mr. James, Mr. Lisien, and Mr. Yarnall. The year ' 45 ' 46 marked a turning point in the policy of Textile. Plans were made for dormitories;, the amount of work hours per week were cut down and the need for more liberal art subjects, hu- manities, in the curriculum was recog- nized. And thus, with the fall of ' 46, we come to the end of what may be called the War Years, and what effect new developments and new ideas will have on Lowell Textile Institute only the future can tell. CLASS OF 1946 [23]
