LEST WE FORGET L Z Proudly, and yet humbly, the staff of the Reveille dedicates this issue to the brave alumni who have been, are now, and who shall be in the armed service of our country. These young men are all busily engaged in giving validity to the phrase patriotism without profit. State stu- dents are rendering a splendid account of themselves in every branch of the service and in every corner of the globe. As long as this institution gives to the world men such as these, there must be, there shall always be, a Mississippi State College. Our earnest prayer is that the Divine Leader of our forces shall make them worthy of their country, their cause, their college, their God — and make us who remain on the home front worthy of them. And when their task on the battlefield is done, may they come back home to continue the fight to build a spirit of international good- will to the end that men the world over may enjoy a lasting peace and have a just share in the more abundant life for which they fought and for which some of them died.

GE During the past few years the Reveille has endeavored to present to the students of Mississippi State a colorful picture portraying the activi- ties and developments of some section of Mississippi. This year, the All Out War Effort of the State of Mississippi is our theme. It is our purpose to present to you a few of the more im- portant things which the people of Misissippi are doing to hasten victory. Mississippi is nationally known for its rich delta and farming sections. Since the beginning of the war, the farmers of the State have doubled their effort to produce the food needed by the soldiers on foreign fields and here at home. Many of their number have left the farm to join the armed forces, or to work in the nation ' s defense plants; therefore, to those remaining has come a demand for food heretofore unheard of in the history of the nation. These overwhelming demands have been met by the tireless and never- ceasing efforts of our farmers. Our first tribute, therefore, is to the men and women who provide the Food for Freedom.
