CHANCELLOR'S MESSAGE This year there has been a strange silence over the Archbold Stadium and we have missed our varsity sports. Fraternity houses have been leased to soldiers and coeds, and extra-curricular activities have lacked their pre-war luster. Dining halls have been crowded and in the dormi- tories three or four are living where two lived before. Acceleration is still the rule, with com- mencements frequent but holidays brief and rare. Nevertheless it has been a significant time for undergraduate study and we shall not forget this year of adjustment to war. The four thousand men in uniform have contributed much to uni- versity life. The endless singing and marching, the Saturday review, the Air Corps and ASTP dances, the informality of evenings of Open House, the all University parties at Drumlins, and the fine program of Hendricks Chapel have all made their mark upon our memories. Next year we shall have fewer men in uniform and more room for civilian students. The days of crowding will be over. Basketball and perhaps other sports will return and the curriculum will be more concerned with the arts of peace and the problems of the post-war world. Fra- ternities may also get under way again as boys return from military service. Yes, life will be more normal next year, but probably not more interesting. For in peace or in war Syracuse Uni- versity is'a very interesting place.
