a e if 1 -ea .. r . illnrvmnrh The call to the colors spread like wildfire throughout the ranks of our University. Many of our Pals immediately saw that their duty lay far beyond the bounds of campus life. So, without hesitation, they lived up to their convictions and went forth. We, who remain, also have red blood in our veins. We, too, are striving to obey the dictates of conscience. That same call thrilled every man of us, but with a different message. W'hereas our brothers Went forth, we ind it our duty to stick to our posts and apply ourselves to the cool, mathe- matical phases of patriotic service. Our task has not been an easy oneg its fulfillment has become possible only at great cost and after many a sharp clash between will and intellect. Day 'by d-ay, some of our num- ber fweaken in their purpose and sacrifice to the sudden impulse to follow the crowd the possilbility of a more valuable service to their country in the future. But the energy of our suppressed emotions has not been wasted. We have irresistably been impelled to a more serious application to study. Even campus spirit and activity have been characterized by a vigor hard to duplicate in normal times. It has been the aim of the editors to mirror in the present volume this energy as expressed in concrete forms of campus activity during the past year. If this end is accomplished, they will consider themselves amply repaid for the efforts spent in preparing this publication. THE EDITORS X W' f -, H91 .1 f . I FOUR
