Philco radarettes at work A nutrition experiment The undergraduate as well as the graduate students are doing all that is possible for Temple ' s war effort. Donations to the Blood Bank, First Aid classes, Red Cross knitting and surgical work, and the establishment of a Bond Booth were some of the earlier evidences of Temple ' s war effort. This year Temple ' s United War Chest campaign reached a height far above its goal. Students aided the O. P. A. in the regulation of price control. Everyone contributed to the Victory smokes. Co-eds gave junk jewelry for barter in the South Sea Islands. The A Cappella Choir has sung at Fort Dix and a Russian Relief Rally. Many students are busy doing part-time work along with their school work. Others have taken advantage of the accelerated program to complete as much of their education as possible before entering the Armed Forces or war work. Courses stressing subject material vital to war economy have become popular. One of these is a course in Nutrition explaining the budgeting of ration points and means of guarding against malnutrition in war-time. These are not all the phases of Temple ' s war effort. While we have attempted to show in words and pictures an outline of our contributions many worth-while are being carried on with little or no publicity. The end of the story is not yet written . . .

You must get quite a kick out of meeting your x-classmates in different parts of the world. I can imagine you and Bill had lots to talk about and a million questions to ask each other. Next time you see him you can show him these pictures of the faculty and graduates who are in the services. And i ' m sure he ' ll be pleased as punch to see the pictures of the boys in the class of ' 44 who are now scattered all over the world. Several of our boys have given their lives for their country They were swell fellows-its ' as hard to believe they won ' t be back.
