We must meet and defeat the enemy where ever he may be. May God grant that a time shall come when men will live and deal among themselves with justice, tenderness—and truth. For the past year the State School of Science has been geared to greater defense efforts. Faculty and student defense committees have worked together to give unity to our defense work. Defense bonds and stamps were sold to the instructors and students from special school booths each week. Most important of all, a steady stream of skilled workmen has been sent from the Science shops and classrooms to our great factories and the administrative offices. Science is training the skilled mechanics and workmen who “keep 'em flying.” All departments of our school are cooperating in the work to achieve a final and great victory. I he experiences of our year at Science have been caught up here in the words and pictures of this book as jewels in a casket—the cover of which we shall lift often as the years pass and the current of lifc carries us far from the campus. As we look within this book, in later years, we shall see again the glow ol friendship, the steady light of knowledge and skill, and the sparkle of growing personalities, for these are the essence of a year at Science.
