From Our President Students of the Rhode Island School of Design, we are welcoming a New Year and new students, and saying good- bye with God’s blessing to the Graduating Class. May you go forward with the same inspired courage that your com- rades are showing on the field of battle. “The names of those, who in their lives, fought for life, Who wore at their heart’s core the fire’s center; Born of the sun, they traveled a short while toward the sun, And left the vivid sky signed with their honor.” Mrs. Murray S. DANFORTH 12

R. LS. D. Men Now in the Armed Forces This list of School of Design men is only a small token of our appreciation of the great part these former students are now playing in the war.

From Our Executive Vice-President Platitudes of years gone by have suddenly become statements of vigorous and challenging force. ‘The world is at your feet,” “You now go forth on life’s un- charted sea,” “The world needs you,” are phrases that had too little significance as students left their Alma Mater ten and twenty years ago, for their world usually was bounded by the environs of their community or at best by the two oceans that border our country. Today it is literally this whole earth on which we live that is our world, with no part of it, we are told, more than sixty air-hours away. What a challenge this is to our thinking, to our talents, to our future service! Whatever we may do, it is like touching a magic spring which sets going vibrations, like Radar, that may strike distant invisible forces with world reverberations. Meantime you have added professional training to your previous education equipment and now, as in our Military Intelligence Service, the problem is to correlate and integrate this knowledge for immediate action at the front and for long-range use as action develops. Many of you may not continue long in active professional work. Home- building will take its place. But your knowledge and understanding and influ- ence can and must still play its indirect part in world affairs. Others, however, will be called upon immediately to exercise their best abilities and technical skills in the world’s work. You must play a combination of jigsaw and cross-word puzzle. This means fitting together the right pieces of your educational experi- ence and reading from the left across or the top down, or perhaps from right to left or the bottom up, to find the correct solution. For, as you know already, the game of life is nothing but a problem-solving job. How well you solve it, is wholly up to you. So now, as the coach says, after his pep-talk to the squad, “Let’s gol” Roya.L B. FARNUM
