Such a variety of athletic competition has been lil developed at St. Ioseph's within the last few years, that one has plenty of opportunity to participate in his favorite sport. ' In addition to the three major sports, strong aggregations in tennis, golf, boxing and track have been finding their place in Indiana conferences. The great strides being made in sports can best be illustrated by this year's undefeated football team. Opposing such teams as Butler and Toledo, among others, the team came through the heaviest nine game schedule in the schooI's history without a defeat. Evidence of the school's growing recognition in sport circles is also shown by noted teams which appeared upon its schedules: in basketball, Great Lakes Naval Academy, Toledo, and Rider Colle'ge of New jersey, in baseball, Purdue, Indiana, Butler, and Illinois Wesleyan. Intramural and freshman teams complete the vast sport setup. fmabu, 7 ' ' , W ' wk 0 I I if v x . 4, , l nys My -at ., . ,Y , , ,QHZG5 Z we . . A , ' Page sixteen

f- -Q 'PSC We pledge to the President of the United States, Com- mander-in-Chief of the total forces of our nation, the total resources and strength of our colleges and uni- versities-our faculties, our students, our administrative organizations, our buildings, and our equipment. To win the' war and win the peace that follows requires trained minds and hands. The institutions of higher education of the United States are organized for action, and they offer their united power for decisive military victory and for the' ultimate and even more difficult victory to estab- lish a just and lasting peace. From the Preamble-Resolutions and Recommendations of the Na- tional Conference of University and College Presidents. To the solemn pledge of the Presidents of the institutions of higher edu- cation, Saint lose'ph's wholeheartedly subscribes. At no other time in the history of our Country have the ideals that gave it birth and that have been its strength been so viciously attacked or so gravely endangered. The' pre- servation of the National Ideal will call forth the utmost of effort and sacri- fice on the field of battle, and in the home support of the armed forces, and more significantly will it make demands upon the field of education, partic- ularly of political philosophy. The nation stands in need of highly specialized technicians in great numbersg it will require many millions of physically fit men in the ranks and thousands of courageous and capable men to direct the fighting forces. A total victory will be won only by a total effort. To assist in the training of the technicians, to aid in the building up of a fund of well developed man- power, to help in the creation of the morale of the fighting men and of civil- ians, through inspiration which is born of the knowledge of the ideals which support the defense of our country and of appreciation of the philosophy which underlies the American form of life and government, Saint joseph's directs its supreme efforts.
