Page 7 text:

Foreword This last year has been of especial significance to Millikin. The establishing of the Student Army Training Corp brought four hundred men to our campus, increasing the total enrollment of the institution con- siderably. The old regime was broken and tho we may be several years in getting back on a definite basis, the change brought about by the imbibing of the new ideas with the old can not help but be advantageous. The former mode of living at Millikin was highly commendable but the present state of turmoil into which our country has been thrown can not help but cast its shadow on our college. The very fact that Millikin was given the privilege of experiencing a bit of the hardships of an army camp will put her more in tune with the universe so that her progress will be steadfastly onward. In this, the Millidek, we have endeavored to show you the results of this new feeling on our student body. Not only have we pictured to you the daily happenings but we have tried to make you feel the beat of the pulsing heart of Millikin. As such we wish you to interpret it. Not as a reference book or a cross section view of our college life but as a bit of the real life which Millikin students have lived this year. The Editor. 3
