' Pteaideat ' Tfteteaye PRESIDENT WILLIAM DUNCAN COPELAND, Litt.D., LL.D. The President Says: The times call for courage, poise and balance. Though the emergency pressures of a war-time economy may seem temporarily to obscure the needs and values of higher education, it is certain that the world will continue to call for the trained leadership of college men and women. In a period of turmoil and conflict, our survival as a free people de- pends on our continuing to produce educated leaders. We must have more and better leaders; and even the followers must be educated if our democracy is to function properly. Patriotism and good sense demand a reasonable and proper conservation of American brains and leadership potential. At ROCKY MOUNTAIN COLLEGE, we shall teach not only technical proficiency, but social and spiritual insights to t he end that through the trained body, the disciplined intellect and the educated heart, men and women may know brotherhood, universal good will and just and lasting peace — even on this earth — and in our lifetime!

' Dedication To THOSE — whose lives may become shining examples — who still work hard to achieve their goals and aims — who will strive for the right at all times — who will go their way soon to another war — whose successes there or failures will be of concern to us all — whose fame may spread — whose happiness and sadness will be deeply felt — whose lives may be simple ones — who pass through the doors of this college — to you who will soon leave us for the future — we proudly dedicate this annual.
