W3 - lx ' a ha- Xl J Portraying an tx Eventful and y ll Historic Year The sixtieth edition of the Syllabus has been compiled to continue the record of North- western University, to add another chapter in the long history of the school. It has been the endeavor of the staff to present a picture of university life by facts, photographs, and informal scenes. That the war has changed Northwestern as a school is easily ascertained, it has been the sincere desire to note these changes in the university system and to present them as the story of Northwestern at war. The attitudes of the student body have changed to a more acute consciousness to the responsibilities placed upon them, both now and in the futureg this fact has been considered. The pace at which Northwestern is moving has changed and is constantly changing. The aim of this book has been to record for the reader a completely true and accurate sample of these changes as they have occurred.
