DEE. 7, l94l The isolationist illusion was broken. War had come to the secure and complacent Western Hemisphere by remote control. The Pearl Harbor attack made the United States as indisputably a part of World War II as a direct hit on the White House could have. This was the crisis toward which Queens College had planned. This Was the antici- pated threat to democracy that was to prove to the founders of Queens College that they were right in planning their curriculum about the democratic ideal. For due to their foresight a body of young men and young women were to go forth into a World shattered by a conflict of ideologies, infused with feeling for the full meaning of the democratic ideal, secure in the knowledge that it was the one true ideal, convinced that it was Worth fighting for. We, the june 1942 Class of Queens College, are part of that body of young men and young women which must face the conflict that threatens to blot out all that We hold dear. We shall be put to a test, the outcome of which will prove more than our own Worth as citizens of a democracy. The entire Worth of a system of education based on the democratic ideal will be tested. The Queens College system specifi- cally shall go through the ordeal of fire. We must prove ourselves true to our training, a training which tells us now that the enemies We fight are not mere men, that they are ideas, ideas alien to all that we feel right, just and honorable. Upon graduation we shall enter diverse fields. For the men there will be little or no choice g their job is to fight with arms. For the women there will be great choice-industry, nursing, office Workg any of a thousand and one jobs they will be asked to do, that the men may be released to fight. Some of this class may not live to see the end of the conflictg the rest of us have a clear duty.
