messflGE FRom During its 109th session, Tulane University, like the nation, has been transformed from a scene of peace time activity to an institution linked actively with the country ' s war effort. Many Tulane men are serving the Colors in far-off fields. Many students are enlisted in the armed services months ahead of graduation. The coming session will see many more on the campus, on active duty with the armed forces, engaged in training on the college level. Such universities as Tulane stand as the strongest bulwark of democracy and freedom. Without broad culture there can be no democracy. Without it there can be no enduring hope for any form of society to nurture the free man. Such things are won through knowledge and education. Your formal education here has been conducted pursuant to the most exalted conceptions of human life and destiny, and it is for a world toward which man is forever striving that you have been trained. It has been for you that Tulane University has existed. With a review of the past year, this book should indicate that the men and women of Tulane and Newcomb have prepared themselves for total war and expect to insure for themselves and their descendants a future worthy of their illus- trious past. RUFUS CARROLLTON HARRIS
