r The Dean of Women Dear Editor: This postwar year on the campus has been a very pleasant one. Both faculty and students have enjoyed the return to normal. The faculty occasionally expressed the opinion that the current year was better than normal, in that our students were mature and travelled. They have brought enrichment to the classroom. Our social life was not neglected. A dozen dances were enjoyed and all were well attended. Concerts, plays, and sports added variety. And students remembered less fortunate students in war-torn countries by subscribing generously to the W.S.S.F. fund. The book records another busy year upon our campus.

The Dean of Men Dear Editor: Last year, we predicted that our chief concern for the coming term would be the returned service man. We only guessed a half of it. He is here in force and we like it. The numbers in which he has returned certainly has challenged every facility we have, and to the very limit. Perhaps now it is fitting that we look into the record. What have these men done? First, there is present a wide divergence of previous training, but all returned men have found it necessary to limit their program for the first semester. Second, we have a larger percentage of extremely capable students than we have ever had. Again there is a group that we have never had before. These are the men who left high school for the service before graduation. Now they do not find high school to their liking and are attempting to remove high school deficiencies and secure a high school diploma as well as carry on a limited program on the purely college level. It is a pleasure to report that many of these men have already been successful in securing their high school diplomas by examination and are accumulating credit toward junior college graduation. The record further indicates that grades earned tend to be bunched at the upper and lower levels with relatively fewer grades in the middle register. We certainly are proud of our students and wish to be as encouraging as possible to those who are so patiently trying to make up for time lost and the disruptive effect of their entry into the armed forces. It is difficult to judge which had the more disastrous effect on student life, actual time spent in the service or anticipated entry. EDWIN KENT Dean of Men 12
