DEfln iRmn voigt Recognized as a capable leader for nearly thirty years, Dean Irma Voigt now stands ready in a time of kaleidoscopic change to guide Ohio University women to an active and intelligent participation in this war and in the future peace. With foresight born of wide knowledge, keen insight and time-honored experience, she looks for on alive, working group of specificolly trained women to serve in a peace army for post-war rehabilitation. She ' s a woman of action. Fostering the first college chapter of the American Red Cross, voca- tional conferences for women in a war-time world, a spirit of intelligent acceptance of war- time standards and social pressure against waste of time, energy, and brains, she continues to elicit confidence, to produce results. Fearful of winning only the war and not the peace, her message to Ohio women is to work for a continued and more intensive education in order to train themselves to cope with the present and future needs of community, country, world.

This year nearly all such C. A. C. decisions and actions were thus choracterized by the imminence of the national war program, and campus policy and progrom were fostered on a war time basis. The Committee ' s student membership consists of the president of the Men ' s Union, the president of the Women ' s League, one elected member from each of these organizations, and a fifth student chosen by the Student Council after consideration of applications for the position 17
