 edUc tian s4T is folly to predict that this war, or any war, dedicated to the destruction of a common enemy can result in a permanent peace. We have sown the seeds of strife, Soon it will be nec- essary to harvest the rust wheat race prejudice, class hatred, and the little, but bitter battles over religion, riches, and national boun- daries. Wc are told that education is our salvation. If we can stamp out ignorance, remove fear, raise the faces of the oppressed peoples, then let education live. It is our faith in education that gives us new hope. If some of these hopes are realized, wc are not fighting in vain. It is, therefore, with deep devotion and intense pride that wc at Ripon do here dedicate this document to those men and women all over the world, who have sacrificed their liberty, their religion, their education, their lives, that these things might find a new birth in a better world to come.

Oun. faculty at Wan. . . . Col. Russell J. Pom Prof. Lawrence Childs Miss Mildred Thiet Things have been happen- ing in the faculty circle since December 7, 1941. Changes in personnel have been no- ticeable to the extent of los- ing some endeared ‘profs.” and gaining some new faces. It isn’t only the student on the campus who concerns himself with the war, though wc may like to think so. As an example of the extra-cur- ricular activities for war aid our faculty is doing, we should certainly cite. Dean Isabelle Terrill, on leave oi absence from her position as head of the Latin department and Dean of Women, who has taken over the direction of one of the housiny units for government employees in Washington. D. C. Also on leave of absence since last year is Dr. A. L. Barker, chemistry head, who has traded our “lab' for one of the Army’s. He is serving in chemical warfare where they call him Major, instead of “Doc. Dr. R. Trytten is keeping the flame in the bun sen burner until the “Major’’ wins the war. Under the heading of the “Army's shift- ing population. we bid “Au revoir to Col. R. J. Potts last fall. Col. George A. San- ford took over the ROTC unit, and we've found the empty shoe a perfect fit for him. Capt. Floyd Johnson was transferred to Ft. Benning leaving Lieut. James Kuehn. ’41, to load his guns. Ripon College waved a sad good-bye also to Lawrence D. Childs of the mathe- matics department last fall. Now he's with the Detroit Rubber Company. His vacancy was filled by Mrs. Marion Regan, who has proved herself an added attraction to the college faculty. Mildred Thiel, 25, former musical theory instructor on leave of ab- sence, is organizing and teaching Red Cross First Aid Courses ir Eau Claire Coun- ty- Two of our staff members have made applications for commissions in the armed services. Bruno E. Jacob 22. debate coach, has applied for an army commission, and Coach Carl H. Doehling. di- rector of athletics, wants to help the navy “score against the Axis. While “Coach” is waiting he is doing his part at home in carrying out the physical fitness course given to college men previous to entrance into the services. In every war there is also a home front. President Evans up until the time he was ill. carried a heavy program of wartime activities. He is a member of the State Defense and the Educational Defense boards. The latter being a board of mid- west colleges concerning itself with the de- fense program for educational institutions. “Prcxy has done a great deal on the cam- pus and on other platforms making speeches pertaining to war and education. Dean Graham has been an armed service repre- sentative since the United States' entrance into the war for Ripon College. Professor W. H. Barber is a member of the Disaster and Preparedness Committee for the city of Ripon, while Professor Har old Chamberlain helps the local defense program by acting as a block warden. Called upon several times to inspect dairy herds and plants for disease. Dr. J. F. Groves is advising farmers in the vicinity as to the best way to combat diseases. And upon several occasions Dr. Groves has given Red Cross lectures. Maj. August Bxrxer 7
