RN 49 E U, g, u g 6,B E 4: nigh Ii V, 1 up-no -as F 5 O t if ' 135i ' REPORT OF TIIE PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY ' I5 OCTOBER, 1942 TO THE BOARD OI4' TRUSTEES: I have the honor to present my report on the state of the academic year l94l-42. I. THE UNIVERSITY AND THE WAR Not long after the opening of the year the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor brought war for the fourth time to this campus. Ifor some months we had been mindful of this possibility, and had niade plans for nieeting such an emergency with as little dislocation as possible. The problem was-and still isethree-fold: how can the University contribute in every possible way to winning the war, at the same time preserve the fiundamentals of its many- sided educational program unimpaired, and also get itself' in readiness to take full advantage ol' the opportunities and obligations which the return of peace will present. A. OUR SHARE IN THE XVAR The pattern for our participation in the war had been cut long before Pearl Harborg during the past year we have continued on a larger scale activities which I recorded in my report of a year ago, and have added certain new ones. , , 44
