This Millidek is the record of a strange year. Nature did her best for us. Did she not protract autumn indefinitely and usher in spring so prematurely that she well-nigh forgot the v mter that should come between? But in spite of halcyon days and autumn colors and promises of spring there has been a sadness about the campus. We have missed the full-throated laughter of the halls and the familiar shouts on the playing field. Our men are not here. We hear from them, if at all, from strange places, among strange people— literally from the isles of the sea. The next generation— and the next— will tell what they did while they were away. We here at home did what we could. We rejoice to think of the city in green and white that sprang up on the back campus, of groups of courageous young men of the Air Corps Training Detachment who stole in for a brief period of training and then silently slipped away to other camps and far away fields. We appreciate what students and faculty have done to maintain solidar- ity and courage here. We are grateful for all that the Conservatory of Music has contributed to lift us to heights of confidence through undying song. We congratulate the editors and managers of the Millidek upon the effort they have put forth to maintain the unbroken succession of college annuals. Theirs has been a great task nobly performed against discouraging odds. May the outcome of the year justify our efforts! 16

“

ur oympnomj . . Dean Miller is responsible for much of the ease with which Millikin has adjusted to its present war- time schedule. The Dean has cooperated to the fullest extent with the Air Corps officials in making Millikin a beneficial and enjoyable place for the Aviation Students. He has spent a busy year in at- tempting to keep the University running smoothly. Scheduling civilian and Army classes so as to avoid conflicts in professor and student programs has been no easy task. For ke eping as much of the old spirit of Millikin as possible we are grateful to him. Dean Hess has spent much time and thought in keeping alive the social life of the University. Work- ing in the capacity of advisers to Panhellenic and the various committees, she had succeeded admir- ably. Her great interest in the Red Cross and its work has been the incentive of many of the students to do their part also. The Red Cross Membership Drive at Millikin owes its success to her efforts. Mrs. Hess is responsible, too, for solving many of the problems of the women students. She has always been available for conferences in the mornings and many of the students have taken advantage of this. 17
