THE SENTINEL Greeting I record my deep appreciation f the fttrengtfa and atiradinew with which the, mem • rs Of the university in general have held in the tasks of the year, against Mi. .list ra.-tmns i r - it i«-t 1 1 t the Grcsl War. Strang- as it may BOUttd, VSl I be- tieve it inn- that (he harder task is to staj here end still do one ' a full duty: in training ramp or ovi-r tie re a man is surroumleo! by fnr««j that make it easier for him t » tin his duty than to uegleet it: Inn nearly everything still le- pomlx upon the individual will. I also pay tribute to the spirit . f Fellowship tod loyalty which has ruled among us all. teaehem and atudenta alike, as membera of one common institution iharing one common life. We too are atffa in our own sector of t h - greal battle line f democracy and program Mm we have hardly begun i nt war. Par all of us over here, the great test is vet to oame. Most f us •) it yet know even the alphabet of aacrifiee — hefore every worthy son ami daughter of the nniveraity lie self-denial, greater extortion, ;$S3 a nmn- rigorotut program of life ami unrk only by these can we meet our ob- •3% ligations ami l« our part Ami heaven pity the man or unman after the war who has I teen a slacker even before his own conscience. To tin- Junior ' lass in particular let us sa that it is fittini; that they Khould ereate ami issue tin- I ' niveraity Annual, and SO gain fuller iuaighl and sympathy r sp.rtint: tin university: fir next year they must step into tin- pla-r ol chief leadership in tin- itudcul hodj in carrying on the spirit and tradition of the 5? institution. Then, mora than ever before. tha$ will have opportu n ity prepay the debt tln iiwe to their Alma Mater. May all of them who are ■ i • T imperatively ailed to other serviee mine haek fnr the h«s1 year of eolletfe life.
