Cur Leaders The College opened in SepTember in The com- paraTive quieT oT an America girding her sTrengTh buT sTill aT peace. Then Pearl Harbor-and war was here. Now we are in The war every minuTe of every day. We have Taced The unexpecTed and The unanTicipaTed. We have had a sense of un- cerTainTy and insecuriTy. New and unToreseen demands have engulTed us. There never has been greaTer need Tor honesT, sTraighT Thinking in all college classes. The STaTe has called as never beTore Tor our graduaTes. The year is closing wiTh a college organized ThroughouT Tor compeTenT, educaTional war service on The college level. ATTer The sense OT dismay and helplessness on The Sunday oT Pearl l-larbor, The College rallied To iTs new Taslcs. The experience and wisdom oT The TaculTy was bolsTered by The enThusiasm. energy, and sTrengTh oT The sTudenT body. New 'kI0 and unusual and hiTherTo unneeded producTs are rolling OTT The new college assembly lines. We are Tar from using our Tull sTrengTh. Our inadequaTe equipmenT hampers our eTForTs. Our needs are greaT. STill our opporTuniTies Tor ouT- sTanding college leadership and Tor consTrucTive war eTTorT never were greaTer, and we Tace a new year OT college work wiTh TaiTh and graTiTude. These Things have come To pass in parT loecause oT The splendid and compeTenT leadership oT PresidenT Jean Van Arsdale and The supporT she has had Trom her oTTicers, Trom The Board, and Trom Mr. Dave SchuTz and his assisTanTs. The TaculTy and all oTher employees oT The College have done Their worlc well. There has been devoTed leadership all The way. GraTeTully, Alexander C. Roberfs
