It er Japan ccept dTrm, Truman Says At 6:02 P. M. on August 14, 1945, an announcement from the Wliite House brought an end to a tense three- day wait packed with false reports, rumors, and almost fearful optimism. The war was over! Streets of cities and towns all over the country were crowded with rejoicing people giving vent to their happiness. The churches were full of those offering a prayer of thankfulness. Banks and schools declared a holidayg the highways were jammed with travellers taking advantage of the cessation of gas rationing. Soon the cigarette shortage became a thing of the past, Telegrams were no longer limited to essential messages. Harassed housewives joyfully threw away their number four ration books. And seventeen year old boys could look forward to the future with a little more optimism, Underneath all the seemingly superficial things there was something more. Security. Long fought for, hard won security that means more than all the other things put together. A grateful country opened its arms wide to receive back its young men who had made that security possible. America's fighting men began to come home after almost five years of facing death, to begin to prepare themselves to face life. To those men and women on the Texas Christian Uni- versity campus who were dedicated to bringing peace to a war-torn world, this book is dedicated as a token of sin- cerest appreciation and admiration.
